Coming off three straight disappointing seasons, the Red Sox entered 2025 with renewed hope. The club finally spent real money in the offseason, bringing in Garrett Crochet and Alex Bregman along with several other notable contributors, and heading into Opening Day the Red Sox were trendy picks to not only win the AL East, but […]
Toro Recall: Red Sox snap 5-game losing streak by besting Braves
The Red Sox arrived in Atlanta on their first five-game losing streak of the season, fresh off getting swept in Milwaukee, where the Brewers had walked them off in each of the last two games. On Friday night, Boston bounced back with a 5-1 come-from-behind win and one of their most complete, high-caliber performances in […]
Marcelo Mayer records first hit, but Red Sox bats quiet in loss to Orioles
Saturday was a whirlwind day for Marcelo Mayer, who found out he was being called up for his MLB debut just a few hours before the game was scheduled to begin. That made it impossible for his family to make the cross-country flight from southern California, but by Sunday his parents were in the stands […]
Future is now as two of Red Sox’s ‘Big Three’ prospects reach majors
Several hours before first pitch on Sunday, several Red Sox players and coaches took the field to run through some pregame ground ball drills. Two of those were rookies Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell, and the sight of the top prospects working together at Fenway Park was one fans have long dreamed of. The only […]
MLB notes: Red Sox appear to have struck gold with Carlos Narvaez
Entering the season it looked like catcher was one of the Red Sox’s biggest areas of weakness. Connor Wong was the organization’s only established big league backstop, and with top prospect Kyle Teel gone as part of the Garrett Crochet blockbuster there didn’t seem to be much depth available behind him. As luck would have […]
Red Sox lineups: Marcelo Mayer to start at 3B in MLB debut
Marcelo Mayer has officially arrived. The top Red Sox prospect will start at third base and bat sixth for the Red Sox when he makes his major league debut in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles. Lucas Giolito (1-1, 7.08) will take the mound for the Red Sox against Orioles left-hander […]
Red Sox rookie batting cleanup in first game of doubleheader
Alex Cora has spoken recently of how he’s been tempted to bat hot-hitting rookie Carlos Narvaez higher in the order. Saturday he finally gave in and penciled the catcher into the cleanup spot. Narvaez will start in the No. 4 spot for the first time in his career in Saturday afternoon’s game against the Baltimore […]
Garrett Crochet pulled after 85 pitches, but Red Sox bats silenced in loss
With the Red Sox bullpen gassed after three straight games in which the starting pitcher failed to finish five innings, it would’ve seemed logical that Alex Cora would lean on his ace to go deep into Wednesday’s game. But asked pregame if having Crochet pitching gave him comfort, Cora offered an answer that proved prophetic. […]
Red Sox manager will miss Monday’s game to attend daughter’s graduation
Alex Cora won’t be managing Monday’s series opener against the New York Mets, but the Red Sox skipper has a good reason to be away. He will be down the road at Boston College celebrating his daughter Camila’s graduation. “It’s going to be a very special day, one that I’m not going to miss,” Cora […]
Red Sox lineups: Brayan Bello looks to help pick up series win
The Red Sox earned arguably their best win of the season on Saturday, rallying from five runs down to beat the Atlanta Braves 7-6 on a walk-off home run. Now the club turns to Brayan Bello in hopes of building on that momentum. Bello (2-0, 2.33) will face off against Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach (2-3, […]
