If Masataka Yoshida is not, at the very least, a finalist for the 2023 American League Rookie of the Year award, so help me, I swear. He’s technically a rookie, which I will never understand. But if this is the only way Masataka gets any recognition due to him, then so be it. The Red […]

What will the 2023 Red Sox do at the trade deadline? It largely depends on where they are in the American League Wild Card standings. The Red Sox are good one week and terrible the next. They are not good enough to go all in and not bad enough to blow it all up. In […]

At the start of the season, I looked at some potential trade candidates that could be moved at the deadline. All of the candidates listed are still a strong possibility to be moved, with the exception of Bryan Reynolds. We are now past the season’s halfway mark, and the trade deadline is less than a […]

It hasn’t been only the offense that has sunk the Red Sox. Just about everything has gone wrong over the last month. The Sox have played bad baseball all around.

Two months into the 2023 season, Red Sox’ Enrique Hernandez is a terrible shortstop, among the worst in MLB. Hernandez’s defense at shortstop has been a problem all season. Injuries have forced the Sox’s hand a bit. But Alex Cora has no more valid excuses. Christian Arroyo is back, and Yu Chang should be activated […]

MLB All-Star voting season is upon us for 2023, and nine Red Sox appear on the ballot in phase one of fan voting, which ends June 22. Don’t expect many, if any, Red Sox to be on the American League roster in July. Though some of Boston’s hitters are not necessarily doing badly, most are […]

Detroit Tigers pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez has been having a nice bounce-back season. He’s currently 4-4, an ERA of 2.19, 61 strikeouts, and a FIP of 3.03. Rodriguez has an opt-out clause that he can trigger that voids the final three seasons of his contract with Detroit. Given the Tigers struggles, and the salaries starters are […]

Who saw a breakout coming for Jarren Duran in 2023? I don’t know if even the Red Sox themselves saw this coming. It’s a best-case scenario, really. A lot of work on his hitting mechanics, defense, and mindset – plus advice from two former Red Sox – all have played a part in Jarren Duran’s […]

The last few years have been tough for new Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen. The seventh member of the 400 career saves club has turned back the clock in 2023, though. Jansen is dominating once again, pitching as well as he has in years — arguably ever. He’s not only contributing on the field, either. […]

The Red Sox could be right in trusting Reese McGuire and Connor Wong as their catchers in 2023 (and beyond). McGuire has done nothing but hit since he arrived in Boston, and Wong is among MLB’s best defensive catchers this season. They complement each other well. It’s too early to tell if their current production […]
