In the immediate aftermath of the Boston Red Sox losing the Alex Bregman sweepstakes, everyone's first thought for a potential pivot was Bo Bichette. It was long rumored that the Red Sox would treat Bichette as Plan 1B, as they'd met with him in December and clearly needed an impact bat in the infield.
The Boston Red Sox were fortunate to have veteran starting pitcher Rich Hill at points throughout his big league career. Hill had four different stints with the organization.
It would be somewhat surprising to see the Boston Red Sox add another starting pitcher at this point. Boston's rotation currently has Garrett Crochet, Brayan Bello, Sonny Gray, Ranger Suárez, and Johan Oviedo on paper.
No former Boston Red Sox players made it to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2026, but there were still some positive developments. Three ex-Red Sox were on the ballot, and two of the three fell off, which most would have predicted based on their situations.
The Rule 5 draft, held annually at the winter meetings in December, never garners much fanfare, but it has been known to yield some noteworthy transactions.
The Boston Red Sox might have interest in pursuing former Seattle Mariners star Eugenio Suarez. However, there may not be enough traction for a signing to actually come to fruition.
The Boston Red Sox still needed another infield bat after the flurry of activity last week, and Eugenio Suárez was a name on many folks' minds. Suárez, the 34-year-old Seattle Mariners third baseman, hit 49 home runs this past season, but finished the year with an on-base percentage of .298.
There have to be many in the Boston Red Sox organization who still believe Zach Penrod can be a good major leaguer. Penrod made his major league debut for the Red Sox at the end of 2024 and wound up pitching four innings and allowing one earned run.
Earlier this offseason, we were all a little surprised to hear that the Red Sox were rumored to be interested in catcher J.T. Realmuto. He’s since resigned with the Phillies, but the Sox are reportedly still interested in upgrading at catcher.
The Boston Red Sox will seemingly get to see their newest free-agent pitcher throw on a big stage much sooner than October. Ranger Suárez, who has yet to sign his five-year, $130 million contract with the Red Sox, is reportedly making his way to Boston from Venezuela this week.
There were 14 Major League Baseball front offices who somehow thought there was a better player on the board in July's draft than Kyson Witherspoon. For that, the Boston Red Sox may wind up eternally grateful.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
Few people in the Boston Red Sox organization are under more pressure this year than Kristian Campbell. It hasn't even been 10 months since the Red Sox rewarded Campbell for his meteoric rise through their farm system with an eight-year, $60 million contract extension.
With the signing of Ranger Suárez, the Boston Red Sox have created what may be the best rotation in the American League, along with the best pitching depth in possibly not just the American League but the entire Major Leagues.
It's odd to be so comfortable moving on from a pitcher who went 10-4 with a 3.41 ERA, but the Boston Red Sox are far beyond the need for Lucas Giolito.
The Boston Red Sox still have few question marks to watch out for as the offseason quickly comes to a close. We're now just weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training across the league.
Alex Bregman held an interesting place in the hearts of Boston Red Sox fans. He was an early-season MVP candidate, suffered a midseason injury, and came back limping his way to the finish line.
While much of the focus for the Red Sox this offseason has been on their efforts to upgrade the rotation and fill out their corner infield mix, the team has also been connected to a number of catchers in recent months.
After making good on his goal of reaching Double-A as a 19-year-old last season, top Red Sox prospect Franklin Arias is once again placing lofty expectations on himself heading into the 2026 campaign.
Ranger Suárez’s five‑year, $130 million deal is official, and it immediately changes the picture for the Boston Red Sox. By bringing in the left‑hander, Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow didn’t just add stability to the rotation.
The Red Sox went big with their first free agent signing of the winter, adding Ranger Suárez for five years and $130MM on Wednesday. That followed trade acquisitions of Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo, meaning the Sox could enter the season having replaced 60% of their rotation.
Less than a month before pitchers and catchers will begin reporting to Florida and Arizona, the Boston Red Sox lineup is far from a finished product. The only external addition they have made thus far has been catcher-turned-first baseman Willson Contreras, whom they added in a trade with the St.
The Boston Red Sox are heading into the 2026 MLB season with a surplus of outfield talent. As a result, outfielder Jarren Duran briefly surfaced in trade rumors this winter, though it appears he will remain with the organization at least through spring training.
