I went to an event tonight in which Red Sox owner John W. Henry was given a prestigious award for his active -- yet understated -- role in the community. There was an opportunity to talk a little baseball with not just John, but also Sox president/CEO Larry Lucchino and chairman Tom Werner. ...

I know everyone is getting restless because the speculation is out there on the Hot Stove front but not a whole lot has happened yet. This is the calm before the storm. At the end of Thursday -- when midnight turns to Friday -- all free agents will be eligible to sign with other teams. This is ...

The catching situation is now finalized. Jason Varitek has agreed to be a $3 million backup for next season. Now, on to some of the other matters of the offseason. What will it take to keep Jason Bay under the employ of the Boston Red Sox? There have been several reports -- though none ...

Jason Varitek is one phone call away from putting himself back on the Red Sox's roster for 2009. He simply has to tell the club he will exercise his $3 million player option. At the GM Meetings in Chicago yesterday, general manager Theo Epstein made it clear that Victor Martinez will be a ...

With the Who's Your Daddy chants roaring from
the stands at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night, a
familiar game unfolded. Remember the original Who's Your Daddy Game? It was Game 2 of the 2004 American League Championship Series. The score was New York ...
