The Minnesota Twins’ awful postseason losing streak continued, and a costly error by Jorge Polanco did not help. The Houston Astros beat the Twins 4-1 in Game 1 of their Wild Card series on Tuesday in Minnesota.

Who to root for on the AL side.
The MLB postseason gets underway today in a new format that hopefully is an old format when this time of year rolls around in 2021. There are eight first round series, all best of three, all with the higher seed hosting all three games. The Red Sox, of course, are not participating. Even with that being the case, I would guess many Red Sox fans will still be following along, potentially wondering for whom...

In this episode Jake is joined by both Keaton and Shelly to discuss the season that was.
The season my be over, but the work is just beginning for Chaim Bloom and the front office. The Red Sox have no manager, no center fielder, a rotation and bullpen rife with uncertainty, and they just lost the fourth most games in baseball.
On this episode of the show we tackle the search for a new manager first. Will it be Alex Cora? Will Bloom want...

Happy Tuesday everyone. Today is a big day in baseball with the postseason officially kicking off. It’s the AL getting first licks this time around, with four Wildcard series today. Things start off with the Astros and Twins at 2:08 PM ET on ABC. Not too long after that, the White Sox and Athletics start at 3:08 PM ET on ESPN. The first of two night games is a couple of AL East squads with the Blue Jays and Rays facing off at 5:07 PM ET on TBS....

We could’ve done better.
If you’ve been with us since the very beginning of this unprecedented — side note: 2020 is for sure the year with the most uses of the word unprecedented in human history — season, well first of all that’s pretty wild. Even I thought about taking off for a bit. More pertinent to our discussion today is that you may remember our preseason superlative polls. This is something we do every year, but it was even harder to...

There was clearly not a whole hell of a lot to celebrate with this Red Sox season, and for the most part players didn’t get the job done. Hence, you know, the top five pick. But despite that, Chris Cotillo still managed to hand out some awards. (Chris Cotillo; Masslive)

It took until the final inning of the final game of the regular season, but Red Sox infielder Jonathan Arauz collected his first career major-league home run in the top half of the ninth of Sunday’s 9-1 victory over the Braves.

Let’s lay out a long list of options.
In case you missed it, prior to Sunday’s season finale the Red Sox officially announced they would not be bringing back manager Ron Roenicke for the 2021 season. It wasn’t a major surprise as most assumed that would be the case before a game was even played, and the team’s performance certainly didn’t change minds. With the move made, we now know the first official order of business for...

There’s a lot to digest.
It’s over. The 2020 Red Sox season can’t hurt us anymore. The general consensus coming into this bizarre, shortened season for the Red Sox was that they’d hang around at the bottom of the playoff race, hovering around the .500 mark. That indeed would have been enough to hang around in the postseason picture, but the Red Sox were worse than expectations. While more than half the league takes part in postseason action,...

Happy Monday everyone, and happy first day of the offseason. There is no extra baseball to take in today, so we’ll have to wait until tomorrow until games get underway. There is some hockey, though, with the Lightning again looking to finish off the Stars and take home the Stanley Cup. They lead 3-2 in that series, and Game Six kicks off at 8:00 PM ET. Meanwhile, the most anticipated matchup of the NFL season is already here with the Monday Night...

Looking back, and forward.
Mercifully, that's a wrap on your 2020 Boston Red Sox. We had two series to catch up on in this episode, starting with the Red Sox taking two out of three from the orioles. In the first game of that series, Nick Pivetta passed his first test with flying colors. There were not a lot of expectations for the righty, but fair to say he looked very promising in his debut, leading the Red Sox to an 8-3 win. In the second contest, the...

And the Angels fired their GM.
Welcome to the offseason. For new readers, the MLB Roundup is a (mostly) daily feature through the offseason covering the news around the league and trying to connect it back to the Red Sox where possible. There will be days in which there is no real news, but for the most part we’ll be with you every morning at 8:00 AM ET.
The playoff field is setWhen Sunday’s action...

This doesn’t necessarily mean it was the wrong decision by the team, but it’s impossible to deny Roenicke was not put in a position to succeed. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal)

If this was the end of his Red Sox career, he ended it in style.
If this was indeed the final game Jackie Bradley Jr., who is a free agent this winter, will play for the Red Sox, he put on a hell of a show. The details are below so I won’t go too in depth here, but we got a glimpse of everything that is fun about Bradley on both sides of the ball. He will be missed by me and many, many other Red Sox fans if he does indeed leave for greener pastures....
This is it. It’s been a disaster of a season, to put it frankly, but it’s going to be gone after today. We’ll still have some postseason baseball to watch starting on Tuesday, but no more meaningful Red Sox baseball until April. So enjoy it while it lasts. We end things with Nick Pivetta going against Bryse Wilson.

How to...Roenicke coached the Red Sox to a 23-36 record, and they will play their final game of the season on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta.
The Boston Red Sox announced on Sunday that Ron Roenicke will not return as the team’s manager next season. That immediately led to speculation that the Red Sox could be planning to bring back Alex Cora.
Ron Roenicke will not return to the manage the Red Sox in 2021, the club announced Sunday. Roenicke, 64, was named Boston’s manager back in February in place of Alex Cora and will have led the club to either a 23-37 or 24-36 record in 2020 depending on how Sunday’s season finale against the Braves goes.
The Boston Red Sox are moving on from manager Ron Roenicke, parting ways with their interim skipper after just one season at the helm. Roenicke, who the Red Sox promoted to manager before the season, oversaw a club that entered Sunday with the third-worst record in MLB (23-36).
