Jacoby Ellsbury's MVP-Caliber Year, Fenway Park's History Among Top 10 Reasons to Be Thankful for Red Sox

Found November 24, 2011 on NESN.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jacoby Ellsbury
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox

Sure, the Red Sox season didn't end the way that many fans would have liked, but that's old news. There's still plenty of positives to take away from last season for the Sox. For one, Jacoby Ellsbury became the first 30/30 player in Red Sox history, and looks poised for another run at the record books as he enters his prime. And with a long offseason to prepare, get healthy and stay hungry, Ellsbury and the rest of the team should be back battling for a World Series sooner than you can say "pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training."...

Red Sox Offer Arbitration to David Ortiz & Dan Wheeler

Via Sox and Dawgs  |  November 23, 2011
According to several media outlets, the Boston Red Sox have decided to offer arbitration to David Ortiz and Dan Wheeler. They had until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday night to do so. This means a few things for the Red Sox. With the new CBA done, Ortiz is still a Type A free agent. So if he decides to sign with another team, the Red Sox will still receive two draft picks as compensation...

Major League Baseball's new collective bargaining agreement will make it harder for teams to spend big on amateur talent, which leaves them looking for new ways to build a competitive advantage. Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports suggests clubs should invest in scouting to ensure that the money they do spend impacts the Major League roster. Here's more from Morosi on the Boston...

Poll: Who Will Be The Next Red Sox Manager?

Via MLB Trade Rumors  |  November 24, 2011
One wonders if, had the Red Sox offered Dale Sveum a managerial post before the Cubs did, if Sveum would've returned to Fenway Park rather than taking the Chicago job.  Though Boston's list of candidates seems to be gradually decreasing, the recent inclusion of Bobby Valentine into the mix has created questions about if Valentine really is "the sudden favorite"...

2011 MLB season in review: Boston Red Sox

Even though this team won 90 games, they will forever be remembered for the historic collapse in September. They went 7-20 in that month, choked away a playoff birth, and got their manger and general manger fired for lack of a better word. They dominated the New York Yankees beating them 12 of 18 times. However, a 6-12 record against the Tampa Bay Rays, and barely better than .500...

Jays Wanted Buchholz for Farrell

Via Fenway West  |  November 25, 2011
No wonder the talks with Toronto about bringing John Farrell back to Boston to become the new manager did not go anywhere. The Jays asking price was Clay Buchholz. There is no way the Red Sox would be willing to offer anything close to that deal so they were forced to look elsewhere.
