The recent play of the Boston Red Sox has had a rippling effect on more than just the team as a whole. If you're a soon-to-be free agent - like Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury - the light at the end of the tunnel is shrinking as quickly as the team's chances of winning the AL East - as this losing streak continues.

Jacoby the Cub?
With free agency looming over Jacoby Ellsbury as he plays out the last year of his contract, the idea that he could walk away from the Red Sox is becoming increasingly possible.

Jacoby Ellsbury’s Ability to Wreak Havoc on Basepaths Continues to Be Dynamic Force for Red Sox
There’s no two ways about it. This is a huge season for Jacoby Ellsbury.
Not only is Ellsbury trying to bounce back after an injury-plagued 2012 season, but he’s also playing for his next contract — a scenario most Red Sox fans are well aware of.

Jacoby Ellsbury is off and running again
As stolen bases go, it was pretty run-of-the-mill. In fact, it didn't even draw a throw, and he went into the bag standing up. But when Jacoby Ellsbury stole 2nd in the bottom of the 6th inning at Fenway Park on Friday night, it represented the 200th stolen base of his Red Sox career, something only two other players wearing that uniform have ever accomplished.
Despite the...

Jacoby Ellsbury‘s base-stealing ability is becoming something to marvel at.
Ellsbury stole his major league-leading 11th base in the sixth inning of Friday’s game. The theft set a new Red Sox single-season record for the month of April, as he broke his own mark of 10 April steals, which he accomplished in 2009.

The talent is there, and so is the motivation. [...]

The Boston Red Sox’ quest to trade Jacoby Ellsbury
Numerous reports say that the Red Sox are trying to trade Jacoby Ellsbury
The two biggest concerns for the Boston Red Sox in 2012 were their severe lack of quality pitching and a clubhouse chemistry that could only be described as “uneasy” at best. Their first two signings of the 2012-13 off-season have filled the Red Sox second issue. Both Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino have...
