One thing Yankees fans know about Gary Sánchez: even in his darkest times, with the highest number of balls bouncing behind him, the slugger still struck fear in the hearts of the Boston Red Sox. As Sánchez sits on the shelf for an excruciatingly long time this offseason - his first shot at free agency - it feels as if he'll either end up on a team…

I can't decide what's more bewildering: That the Red Sox really feel like they did something on Wednesday morning, or that so many of the rest of us don't. The clearest emotion to find is joy for Rafael Devers, his evolution from a 16-year-old Dominican free agent to the unquestioned face of the franchise complete in a shade less than a decade.…

Believe it or not, Red Sox spring training opens in just about five weeks. The roster is not complete quite yet, but the large majority of the 2023 team has already been put together, and it looks quite different than the group that last took the field at Fenway Park in early October. Boston's chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom entered the winter…

Ever catch yourself thinking, "Boy, I'd love to see the Rick Hahn 2023 master craftsmanship roster breakdown all in one place?" Well, ponder no further. We present you with the White Sox 40-man (well, 39-man) roster as it currently stands. Of course, this can change at any time. So come on in and take a waltz down memory lane. You know your brain…

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees meet Reese McGuire and the Boston Red Sox on Sunday at 7:08 PM ET in the final game of a four-game series. The New York Yankees average 1.6 home runs per game and have hit a league-leading 241 home runs in total. The Red Sox's.258 batting average is among the best in baseball, ranking fourth in MLB. Here is…

The Oakland Athletics are soon expected to trade catcher Sean Murphy, and the Boston Red Sox are reportedly among the clubs in on the 28-year-old standout. According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, the Red Sox, Cardinals, Rays and Guardians are among the teams that have been connected to Murphy in recent weeks. Feinsand had previously reported the…

A postseason berth in the shortened pandemic campaign of 2020 helped advance the Toronto Blue Jays' timeline, and now they enter the new season as a team to watch in the American League. While it's fair to wonder whether they would have made the playoffs under normal circumstances, and if the stat lines of certain players would have leveled off…

A bounce-back from the depths of rebuild purgatory should start in 2020 for the Toronto Blue Jays, who firmly believe the arrow on their trajectory is pointed up after three years of struggle, torment and pain. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Danny Jansen, among others, were all integrated during a…

The MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and no team did more to improve their World Series chances than the San Diego Padres (60-46). After acquiring outfielder Juan Soto (.274 AVG, 20 HRs, 59 RBIs) and first baseman Josh Bell (.301 AVG, 14 HRs, 57 RBIs) from the Nationals, FanDuel slashed the Padres' World Series odds from around+2200 down…

BOSTON, Mass. - It was a long journey back to the pitcher's mound for Tyler Glasnow, but when he made in first start in more than a year after Tommy John surgery last Wednesday in Cleveland, he said that everything felt normal. The new normal now is pitching every five days, so he's back on the mound Monday night when the Rays take on the Boston…

The Red Sox have struggled in the 23-year-old Bello's starts, sporting a 2-7 record in his turns (Boston has gone 2-9 overall in his appearances). But that record is misleading, as the rookie from the Dominican Republic owns a 2-2 record and 1.69 ERA in September and was especially sharp in his most recent outing against the Reds on Tuesday. Bello…

Josh Donaldson's walk-off single in the 10th inning gave the Yankees not just a 5-4 win over the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night, but it also guaranteed them a playoff spot. The Yankees' magic number was one, and they needed either to win or for Baltimore to lose. Instead, the Orioles drubbed the Astros. BUY YANKEES…

I want to revisit the deal that brought Edwin Diaz to the Mets as a vehicle to discuss the club's first trade deadline with Billy Eppler as general manager. There are three items to drill down upon: 1. I am not sure if we were always this impatient as a society in general and in sports in specific or if social media/confrontational sports-talk…

BOSTON - Aaron Judge continued his Maris march, but it was Gleyber Torres who played hero. Torres' bases-clearing, three-run double in the 10th inning put the Yankees up for good for a 7-6 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park before 34250 fans on Tuesday night. Torres' laced Jeurys Familia's 1-1 slider on a line into right-center field, scoring…

No pitcher in the AL has a higher WAR than Gerrit Cole since he's become a Yankee (10.1). He's worth the big bucks folks. pic.twitter.com/zyWJFFJCNM - Fireside Yankees (@FiresideYankees) September 8, 2022 Cole has a 7-5 career record against the Red Sox and a 4.50 ERA in 15 starts. He is just 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in nine games at Fenway Park. On the…

As the calendar flips to September, it's natural to look ahead as the postseason draws nearer. But let's take a minute to look back. We are now one month removed from the 2022 Trade Deadline. The days leading up to the Aug. 2 cutoff featured more than 140 players and prospects landing on new clubs. Many players are still acclimating to their new…
