TIM WAKEFIELD RUMORS

Red Sox’ Character Will Be Tested As Team Struggles Through Rough Patch (Video)

As someone who spent 19 years in the majors, Tim Wakefield knows that a 162-game season is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. All teams experience patches of adversity throughout the season-long grind, and Wake says that it’s when things aren’t going to plan that you discover the true character of a team.

Wakefield turned down offers?

Tim Wakefield decided to retire after 19 seasons in the bigs, but did he walk away because of a lack of interest from teams? Maybe not.

Here’s to You, Mr. Wakefield

Tim Wakefield wasn’t the best pitcher in Red Sox history (that’s Pedro Martinez), nor was he the most entertaining (guys like Bill “Spaceman” Lee, Luis Tiant and yes, Pedro, have that territory marked), but what he was one of the Nation’s favorites.

Wakefield has stated numerous times in the past that he...

Wakefield is thinking about retirement

Grandpa Tim has muttered a word I did not think he was capable of saying. Retirement. It is not a definite route for Wake, who will turn 46 during the 2012 season, yet he has taken it into consideration. "I just saw that [Jorge] Posada retired, you know, it's something that my wife and I need to talk about," said the 45-year-old knuckleballer, according to FloridaToday...
