Crawford wasn’t good tonight, but he also showed you why he’s a guy you want in the rotation the next time the Sox have a contending team.
Early this afternoon, Over The Monster’s own Jacob Roy noted the following:
“Against splitters, Red Sox hitters are 28th out of 30 teams in swinging strike rate. Against four seamers, Red Sox hitters are 26 out of 30 teams in swinging strike rate. Shota Imanaga comes into tonight with a...
The Chicago Cubs entered Friday looking to continue the momentum created during their series with the Houston Astros. For the first time since 2017, the
The Red Sox have agreed to a minor league contract with right-hander Sal Romano, per the team’s transaction log at MLB.com. He’ll head to Triple-A Worcester.

Let’s win at Fenway for a change
21 years ago the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox almost played each other in the World Series. Now there’s a universal DH and a balanced schedule will bring Chicago to town every other year!
The Cubs landed two big stars this winter: Cody Bellinger, who simply re-signed after Scott Boras held his market too long, and Shota Imanaga, the other starter from Japan besides Yamamoto. And so far he’s...

The news and notes from around the Red Sox farm.
Worcester, W 7-5That’s a double for Vaughn Grissom, his second during his AAA rehab stint, and his fifth hit in his last fifteen at-bats. The two strikeouts aren’t what you want to see from a guy with his bat-to-ball skills, but nonetheless it looks like he’s awfully close to making his Red Sox debut and pushing guys like Enmanuel Valdez and Pablo Reyes back to their more...

Cleveland? Cubs?
TGIF.
The Red Sox weren’t able to totally recover from a Jose Ramirez grand slam yesterday and enter the weekend at 14-12. They are 3.0 games back of the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees. And one game in front of the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays.
Starting Friday Boston is hosting the Chicago Cubs!
The pitching matchups:
Shota Imanaga vs Kutter Crawford at 7:10 PM ET Friday.
TBD vs Josh Winckowski at 4:10 PM ET...

Plus, who might the Sox look at to replace Triston Casas?
It was Winston Churchill who, likely in between dry martinis, said that there was nothing in life so exhilarating as to be shot at without result. If that’s the case, then perhaps the Red Sox pitching staff should be thrilled about the amount of bullets dodged thus far. Granted, the injuries are piling up, with Brayan Bello now joining Garrett Whitlock and Nick Pivetta on the...

What’s the score?
At my uncle’s memorial service this past weekend, the family gathered around before heading into the chapel. At one point, my aunt leaned forward and asked my cousins: “What would your dad say if he were here?”
This was a tough question in some ways, given the occasion, but also, Mac was a man of many passionate interests. What would he say? Among the many statements that wouldn’t have gone amiss here:...
Two of the hottest starting pitchers in the majors face off Friday night when the Boston Red Sox host the Chicago Cubs to begin a three-game series. Boston's Kutter Crawford (1-0, 0.66 ERA) carries the top qualifying ERA in all of baseball into the weekend-opening start against Chicago rookie left-hander Shota Imanaga (3-0, 0.84).
The Red Sox have promoted relief prospect Isaac Stebens from Low-A Salem to High-A Greenville, per the club’s MiLB.com transactions log. Stebens, 22, was taken by Boston in the 16th round of last year’s draft out of Oklahoma State.
The Red Sox purchased the contract of left-hander Michael Sansone from the Yolo High Wheelers of the independent Pioneer League on Wednesday, per the club’s MLB.com transactions log.

Jake, Keaton, and Bob discuss an alarming amount of injury news, as well as which Hot and Cold Starts we’re buying in 2024.
Welcome back to The Red Seat Podcast, episode number 313. This week, Jake Devereaux, Keaton DeRocher, and Bob Osgood get caught up on a ton of news on the 14-12 Red Sox, much of which is injury-related, and try to determine which Hot and Cold Starts are for real.
We started the show by talking about the...
Jose Ramirez hit a second-inning grand slam and added an important insurance run in the seventh as the Cleveland Guardians beat the visiting Boston Red Sox 6-4 on Thursday.

A big opportunity wasted on the last day of the road trip.
After a stupendous win last night, the Red Sox had a humongous opportunity on a getaway day to head back to Fenway Park with a series win and 15 total victories heading into a weekend series with the Cubs. Could Cleveland guard their home turf or would the flight back to Boston be a boisterous one?
Key Moments T2: Stranded DucksOne down, bases loaded and a big chance for the Red Sox to blow the game...
With Triston Casas seemingly out for a significant period of time, the Boston Red Sox are in need of some help at first base. They have options, and some fit a little better than others.
The 23-year-old Rafaela, who just signed an eight-year, $50M extension earlier this season, is regarded as one of the game’s top defensive outfielders but also has plenty of experience in the infield.

Masataka Yoshida is on the bench again. Devers will DH Chase Anderson did have a few starts in 2023 of up to 7.0 innings but this is probably a bullpen affair unless he has an amazing pitch count.

We are watching a superbly talented young player figure it out before our eyes—enjoy it.
Rookie years are hard. There are many reasons for this, maybe chief among them is that baseball is inherently a game of failure. A good hitter fails to get on base 65% of the time. A bad hitter can suffer a far worse fate. Right now Ceddanne Rafaela is in the midst of an extremely difficult rookie season where he is failing to get on base 79% of the time....

Okay, so he didn’t get the triple... but putting a three-run performance in those terms is fun, isn’t it?
Worcester, Game 1: L, 3-5 (BOX SCORE)The WooSox kicked off their series against the Mud Hens (Tigers Triple-A) at 11:00 AM. By noon, Chase Meidroth had gotten on base twice. Worcester’s closest thing to the kid from the Goonies besides. — well, you know what abominable statue — ended up getting a third hit later in...
