After losing top free-agent addition Lucas Giolito to injury, the Red Sox's starting rotation is facing big questions ahead of Opening Day on March 28.
Story could be the key to the Red Sox outperforming expectations in 2024.
The Boston Red Sox yesterday had a split-squad game with one half of the roster taking on the New York Yankees and they won 12-6 behind a nine-run first innings, the other half tied the Atlanta Braves 3-3.

Hey, everyone, it’s “this is a really fun group of guys, everyone gets along great” season! Spring Training provides few things that are more reliably fun than the stories about players bonding and coming together as a team. This is true even though these stories are written every year, even about clubhouses that end up proving as toxic as the mouth of the Mystic River. This year, we’ve got...

Last week of Spring Training
Happy Monday. We’ve reached the last full week of Spring Training. The 2024 MLB season kicks off fully next week. There will be two games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres this week in South Korea but the other 28 teams will be waiting.
The Red Sox have almost certainly not signed Jordan Montgomery as I write this but as the internet has killed King Charles overnight (also something...

Just playing meaningful baseball in September would go a long way in restoring the relevancy of the Red Sox.
In the 14-year stretch between 1998 and 2011, the Red Sox were box office entertainment. Part of this had to do with them being at intersection of the greatest rivalry in the history of the sport and an 86-year-old curse. And of course, from there, things were further escalated by perhaps the most theatric two-year saga...

The righty’s shaping up to be a multi-inning reliever once again for the Red Sox.
Some people pregame for St. Patrick’s Day by dressing up in clover-laden jawns and by deleting a few alcoholic beverages. I pregame by writing about the Red Sox’s pitching staff...before deleting a few alcoholic beverages of my own.
At the top o’ the morning on Sunday, multiple people within the Boston sports media landscape let us know that Red Sox...
The Boston Red Sox top prospects took on the Atlanta Braves top prospects today. All four of the Red Sox Top 100 prospects by ITD played in the game today.
The Boston Red Sox have made a habit of creating controversy and angering their fanbase during the offseason. Last year at this time I wrote that the offseason had “been one of the most eventful, and controversial, in recent memory,” and the same cold be said for this past offseason.
Thursday was a thrilling day for Braves Country, as the club reunited with fan favorite Adam Duvall after he spent a season with the Red Sox. It was a must-needed addition to a Braves bench that was starving for some more depth in the outfield.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Green Sox!
TGIF.
Jordan Montgomery is still connected to the Red Sox. The Dodgers and Padres play the first MLB games next week in South Korea. Opening Day is the Thursday after that. Even if Monty comes to terms with Boston and has been working out at Camp Boras...how long will he need to get ready for the season? If seven years is truly the sticking point when will Scott Boras recognize 2024 will...

Except that they already have.
One of the sugar plums that danced in my head during that all-too-brief period when ownership promised us a “full throttle” off-season was addressing our Rafael Devers problem.
I had actually begun working on an article that lobbied to “make the hot corner hot again.” It involved various schemes of mine to rectify our infield’s porous defense, and boy did Rafael Devers get the full heat of my...
Of the 18 position-playing prospects on the Red Sox’ roster for this weekend’s inaugural Spring Breakout matchup against the Braves at JetBlue Park, Kristian Campbell is the only one who is not currently ranked by MLB Pipeline.

Outfielder Adam Duvall rejoined the Atlanta Braves on a one-year, $3 million contract Thursday. The 35-year-old free agent spent parts of five seasons in Atlanta before suiting up for Boston in 2023.
It took quite some time, but the Braves finally addressed their need for a fourth outfielder, and they did it in a way that will thrill the fans, inking Adam Duvall to a one-year, $3 million contract.

Two weeks left
Happy Thursday and Happy Pi Day.
There are two weeks remaining until the Red Sox play on Opening Day in Seattle. Jordan Montgomery remains unsigned. The Red Sox are still connected to him although at this point you have to wonder where the connection rumors are coming from given that the one free agent pitcher they signed wasn’t him.

So frustrated fans need to find another way to get FSG’s attention.
On the night of April 10th, 2013, the beginning of the end of the cultural phenomenon that was New England’s unwavering and unmatched obsession with the Boston Red Sox was officially acknowledged by the club. Just before a ninth inning collapse in an 8-5 loss to the Orioles, a voice came over the loudspeaker at Fenway Park, and announced the game’s attendance of 30,862....
It has not even been a full month since David Sandlin was traded by the Royals to the Red Sox, yet the pitching prospect already finds himself in a unique position with his new organization.
With the relieving news that Gerrit Cole might have avoided a worst-case scenario, the Yankees would press on in a game against the Red Sox at George M.
