Red Sox News: Xander Bogaerts, Little League Classic, Alek Manoah

When the Orioles finished above the Red Sox during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, it seemed like an anomaly.

I can't be the only person whose pulse spiked seeing the words "Rafael Devers" and "agreement" on their phone Tuesday until realizing it was just for a $17.5-million deal covering his last year before free agency.

He posted a.295/.358/.521 slash line with 88 RBI…

The whirlwind of rumors leading up to the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings have proven that shortstop Xander Bogaerts currently has the widest market among all shortstops in the free-agent class.

The surest way to prevent Xander Bogaerts from hitting back-breaking homers off Gerrit Cole is for the Yankees to unite both Bogaerts and Cole on the same team.
