August 22, 2012
The Red Sox have been reluctant to give David Ortiz a multi-year deal, and given the slugger's age and body type, it's probably understandable. That being said, there isn't a hitter in the Red Sox lineup who's more important to the club, and while one might think that the designated hitter's extended battle with an Achilles injury might make Boston more skiddish...

Sean McAdam is reporting via Twitter that the Boston Red Sox have placed Adrian Gonzalez on waivers. You may remember that several days after the July trade deadline passed word broke that the Dodgers had attempted to connect with the Red Sox on a possible A-Gon trade. Of course talks didn’t last very long, with time not on their side the Dodgers moved on. Now that Gonzalez is...

The Red Sox fired pitching coach Bob McClure on Monday, just 122 games into his first season on the Sox’ staff. He was the 3rd Red Sox pitching coach in as many years and his firing paved way for the 4th, assistant pitching coach Randy Niemann. A lot of people are calling McClure a scapegoat for what...

Once upon a time, the Red Sox would have been able to start counting down the games left until beginning their playoff run right about now. Those days seem far away at the moment. Boston dropped another tough one on Tuesday, this time to the Angels. Both teams entered a bit desperate for a win to right their respective ships, and the Halos grabbed the opportunity a bit more forcefully...

The Red Sox community has come out in full force to remember Johnny Pesky since the Sox legend passed away. Now, as the team returns to Fenway Park for the first time since Pesky's death, the Sox are finding other ways to honor the man close to everyone's heart.

The decision for Carl Crawford to end his season has left Bobby Valentine to juggle his lineup. The initial decision we saw Tuesday night was to bump Jacoby Ellsbury to the two-hole and keep Dustin Pedroia hitting third. That meant that it was Pedro Ciriaco who slid into the leadoff spot. On Wednesday night, it will be Scott Podsednik leading off for Boston in the second of two games...

8 a.m. ET: Plenty has gone wrong for both the Red Sox (59-64) and Angels (63-60) this season. Both were picked to contend for their divisions. Both had big-name stars filling out their lineups and rotation. But both have played middling ball at best and have to fight through their final weeks for any hopes of making the playoffs. Of the two, the Angels have had a slightly better...
