It will be an eventful first few days of Spring Training for the Red Sox, as the club is expected to make a trip to the White House on Feb. 15, just two days after the first pitchers and catchers workout.
The Red Sox will visit the White House on Feb. 15, CEO Sam Kennedy told Dale & Keefe on Wednesday, and he used the language of decorum and norms to describe a president who respects neither. "This is an honor and a privilege to be invited to the White House," Kennedy told D&K. "We've tried not to make it a political statement. We don't see it as such. We see it as an honor to be invited." On this much we can agree: opinions on President Trump transcend politics. Criticizing him isn't about...
The Red Sox had previously accepted the invitation in December
It seems hard to believe, but the hyper-partisanship in Washington is only increasing, as the government shutdown continues to drag on over President Trump’s demands for his ill-conceived Border Wall –– or steel slat, or barrier, or structure, or whatever he’s calling it now. Despite that, Red Sox president Sam Kennedy says the team continues to view its White House trip as an apolitical event. On “Dale & Keefe” Wednesday, Kennedy discussed the Red Sox’ decision to visit the...

Not that there’s any reason to believe he can’t handle it
There was a lot of people on or around the Red Sox that excelled with their performance in 2018. A team doesn’t do what they do, winning 108 games and rolling through a historically great postseason field, without greatness from all levels of the organization. So many people deserved to be the one remembered most for this team. Mookie Betts won the MVP. J.D. Martinez changed the lineup. Chris Sale, when healthy, pitched as well...
Team president Sam Kennedy said "a healthy representation of ownership, executives, coaches and players" is expected to make the trip.
Happy Wednesday everyone. I just found out we are possibly getting hit with a major snowstorm this weekend so if you are in Maine and have information about that I wouldn’t mind hearing what you have to say. Other than that, the Celtics have a big game against the Raptors tonight and it would be nice if they didn’t look like garbage. The Bruins also have a game against the Flyers, and at this point you’re probably safer watching the B’s than the C’s. Other than that, there’s...
In today’s links, the Red Sox might lose out on another free agent reliever, we ponder what’s to be done with Blake Swihart and prospects will keep coming from Portland.

And the Phillies are still talking a big game.
The Kluber Trade Rumors are backEarlier in the offseason one of the bigger stories around the league were that the Indians were preparing to trade either Corey Kluber or Trevor Bauer this winter despite the fact that they are right in the middle of their contention window with one of the best one-two position player punches in the league. With Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez in their prime, it would seem that a team would want to keep as much...
The Boston Red Sox will visit the White House at the onset of spring training to celebrate the team’s World Series title, team president Sam Kennedy told the Boston Globe on Tuesday. Kennedy indicated the plan is for the team to travel together from Fort Myers, Fla., to Washington, D.C., on Feb. 15 and return the same day. Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report for spring training on Feb. 12, although other players are not scheduled to arrive until five days later. “We thought an...
The Red Sox are getting the White House storyline out of the way early. According to team president Sam Kennedy, the Sox are slated to make their visit to the nation's capital on Friday, Feb. 15 where they will be honored by President Donald Trump for winning the 2018 World Series. The February visit is a departure from the last time the Red Sox were invited to the White House, after their 2013 championship. That trip coincided with an April series in Baltimore. The team's Washington D.C....
The World Series champion Boston Red Sox will visit the White House on Feb. 15 and will also visit the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center during the trip.
Several unidentified players have already said they won't attend the optional event.
Do the Red Sox have enough pitching depth to get through injuries?
The Red Sox continue to plug away with the offseason and we continue to count down the days for the team to report to Fort Myers to officially begin spring training. In the meantime, there’s no telling whether or not there will be a legitimate reliever added to the roster on a major-league deal before that point comes. My guess would still be that they’ll add someone at some point, but with each passing day it looks more...
I don’t know, I’ve got nothing today. Talk about anything here, and as always just be nice to each other.
More depth for Pawtucket’s bullpen.
The Red Sox continue to say they are not planning on making a big splash to supplement their major-league bullpen, but while we wait to figure out if that is real or just something they’re saying publicly to maintain leverage they are at least adding some depth to the organization. They’ve made a number of minor-league signings to boost the pitching depth of the last month, and they added another guy with a possibly familiar last name who will...
And the Rays sign a right-handed bat
Kyler Murray declares for the NFL draftThe biggest story in baseball for the last couple of weeks has been what will happen with last summer’s ninth overall pick. The Athletics knew they took a risk in drafting Kyler Murray with their top ten pick despite him wanting to play football in the fall. The A’s had no problem letting him play for Oklahoma for one last go with football before focusing entirely on baseball. Except, well, things snowballed....
