My sister, Anne, has a book coming out in October. It's about our grandfather (whose namesake belongs to each of our children) and how he came to America, and then how my sister went about becoming an Austrian citizen almost 100 years later. "Austrian Again: Reclaiming a Lost…
Duran is prob going end up with 35 doubles, 15 triples and 15ish home runs and a decent amount of the fan base acts like he shouldn’t be allowed on a baseball field
Aroldis Chapman strikes out Mookie Betts looking to a booming applause of a sold-out crowd at Fenway and the Red Sox win. Not a sentence I expected to ever write back in 2018.
Roman Anthony is just unreal man imagine if he was up opening day where this team would be
Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle impressed again tonight: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 69p/48s. Since his promotion to Portland, he’s thrown 23 innings and allowed only 12 hits with 31 K:5 BB. Continued dominance from the soon to be top prospect in the @SoxProspects rankings.
Tolle has #2 starter potential if everything breaks right.
Payton Tolle pitching line- 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 69 pitches. The mustachioed 22-year-old lefty has a 1.96 ERA over 23 innings with 31 K/5 BB since his promotion to Double-A.
Never in baseball's 150-year history has a player finished a game with at least six hits, six runs and eight RBIs until Nick Kurtz tonight. His 19 total bases tie Shawn Green's single-game record -- and Kurtz had one more RBI. There's a genuine argument it is the best game ever.
Red Sox prospect Jhostynxon Garcia has a hit in 9 of his last 10 games (14-for-39, .359) with 2 HR, 6 RBI and 7 runs scored for Worcester. Very intriguing to see what the team does with Garcia at the trade deadline given no OF spots being open in Boston any time soon.
Hate this for Walter who has been excellent this season.
The Astros put pitcher Brandon Walter on the injured list with left elbow inflammation. They now have a major-league high 18 players on the IL
Merrill Kelly feels like such an obvious fit for this Red Sox roster (veteran, middle of the rotation starter, short-term rental) which I assume means Craig Breslow isn't even thinking about putting in an offer.
If you are a Red Sox fan, you should be doing cartwheels about that Yankees trade lol McMahon has been one of the worst’s hitters in baseball outside of Coors and it also should mean they don’t get Suarez.
There’s been a lot of reports that if they grab a 1B, they prefer him to be RH. So I could see why they weren’t in love with Naylor. Have a feeling it’ll be a guy who’s not a rental and hasn’t been mentioned in trade rumors.
Red Sox not aggressors on the top rental 1B on the market? Hmm 🤔
The Red Sox, in fact, do not have to do right by their players, particularly if it isn't in the best interest of the team, and have consistently shown this in their actions.
.@Hunter_Noll and I talked about this at the end of this morning's ep but the Red Sox at a certain point need to do right by Grissom and give him a chance to play in MLB. Whether that means dealing him or promoting him doesn't matter. We've seen Hamilton not work already.
As always, a very logical and reasonable take from perhaps the most underrated Red Sox account.
Based on the comments, don’t think fans understand that Cease is a FA this winter so he’s a rental & a lot of the shine has worn off of Ethan Salas cause he was clearly rushed to AA and he’s been terrible/hurt there. There has to be more controllable assets coming back for Duran
Somewhere @LucilleBurdge is smiling and so is @Ryblades27. mlbtraderumors.com/2025/07/red-so…
Naylor to the Mariners? Let's talk prospect return! Brandyn Garcia has a plus four seamer. Maybe the slider develops that. Don't think highly of his change, cutter, or command. Feels like a middle relief type. So many ground balls! Ashton Izzi lacks control and no standout…
Cooper Criswell earned his fourth win of the season with five shutout innings of two-hit ball for the WooSox in game of one of today's doubleheader. The 29-year-old righty has a 3.32 ERA over 59.2 innings with 63 K/23 BB at Triple-A this season.
