With a week to go before opening day, there are a ton of intriguing storylines to track this year for the Boston Red Sox. Though there was certainly some action this offseason, the Red Sox probably didn't experience as much turnover as most fans would have expected.
He’s Tommy Kahnle and, like most relievers in their mid-to-late 30s, he comes from all over the league. As one of the rare baseball players to grow up in upstate New York, Kahnle settled for Division II baseball in college before being selected by the Yankees in the 2010 amateur draft.
Attention follows Roman Anthony wherever he goes, and this time, it wasn’t about the swing. The 21-year-old’s breakout run in the 2026 World Baseball Classic had already impressed us, but his semifinal heroics took it to another level.
The Boston Red Sox have had some tough luck from a non-roster invitee standpoint throughout Spring Training. Two different non-roster invitees have undergone surgery to this point.
As Spring Training opens for 2026, all 30 teams have high hopes and big questions. These are the storylines to follow for each team heading into Opening Day.
The Boston Red Sox most recently won the World Series in 2018. Fall Classics have not been rare for the ball club since breaking their 86-year drought in 2004, as the team won four total World Series championships between the 2000’s and 2010’s decades.
The World Baseball Classic delivered on the hype in every conceivable way, and the Boston Red Sox were collectively the stars of the show. Wilyer Abreu hit monster home runs in the quarterfinals and championship as Team Venezuela took its first WBC crown.
Over the last few weeks, I wrote over 10,000 words about 61 pitchers in the American League East. I talked about what they’ve done, how they attack hitters, and where they can improve.
Not only was the World Baseball Classic a massive success, but it also featured Red Sox players as a main character in what felt like almost every game.
Opening Day is officially one week away for the Boston Red Sox and there aren't many more roster decisions to sort out. On Wednesday, Caleb Durbin spoke to the media and shared that the club confirmed that he will be the club's Opening Day third baseman.
The Red Sox undoubtedly placed an emphasis on reinforcing their lower-minors catching depth over the winter. They addressed this area of need by acquiring the likes of Adonys Guzman, Ronny Hernandez, and Luke Heyman in trades with the Pirates, White Sox, and Mariners.
The 2026 MLB season is right around the corner, and it is never too early to start thinking about how it might unfold. Seemingly, every year, we have a decent handle on who should contend and who is likely to struggle, which makes looking ahead to the trade deadline inevitable.
The Boston Red Sox have a number of starting rotation candidates this season. The expected outcome is that left-handed pitching prospect Connelly Early will likely begin the new campaign in the minor leagues.
The backup catcher spot became a brief point of intrigue for the Boston Red Sox this spring, but the drama may be over quite soon. With opening day a week from Thursday, the Red Sox have to decide which second backstop is coming to Cincinnati behind starter Carlos Narváez.
Just over two months after their offseason took a sharp left turn, Wednesday was the day the Boston Red Sox officially declared Alex Bregman's replacement.
The Boston Red Sox's starting rotation could end up being the very best in baseball over the course of the 2026 season. If everyone stays healthy, Garrett Crochet is going to lead the way after logging a 2.59 ERA across 32 starts in 2025 in his first season in Boston.

One Boston Red Sox non-roster invitee has had some unfortunate luck this spring. Brendan Rodgers signed with the Red Sox on Feb. 5 to a minor league deal with an invitation to big league camp.
The Boston Red Sox didn’t win the World Baseball Classic, but they might’ve walked away with something just as valuable. Guess what? Well, confirmation that Roman Anthony is built for the big stage.
The Boston Red Sox showed quite a bit of improvement last year and returned to the postseason for the first time since the 2021 season. Manager Alex Cora’s team was not an offensive dynamo, but it did enough at the plate to avoid losing streaks and come through when the game was the line in the final three innings.
Instead of hiring a qualified manager, USA went with Mark DeRosa who consistently exposed himself for being completely out of his element as a leader and decision-maker.
Connelly Early burst into the Red Sox rotation with a 2.33 ERA over his first 19 1/3 innings in the majors last September, enhancing his status as a key
