Left fielder Jason Bay has rejected Boston’s latest offer of 4 years and roughly $60 million dollars.
With the exclusivity deadline looming at midnight tonight, it appears that the Sox will now be forced to compete with other teams if they wish to retain Bay’s services. I’d ...

Let me first say one thing.
Forget about steroids.
Forget about the cream, the clear, HGH, andro. Brother, you’ll drive yourself crazy if you let these things weigh on your mind as a fan. Why put yourself through the aggravation?
I’ll try not to soapbox for too long here, but ...

This may be a difficult notion to consider after witnessing a team who hastily signed three Type A free agents win the World Series, but given the superiority of the 2011 free agent class over this one, it may be wise for the Red Sox to exercise some fiscal responsibility in the coming winter ...

November of 2009 hasn’t exactly been the best month to be a Boston sports fan has it? And we’re only half way through. I would die a happy man if I was not subjected to 1 more minute of exposure of those corn-fed goobers that are the Manning siblings.
Anyway, I’ll have the ...

Since the Yankees enjoy the benefits of modern day primae noctis on the free agent market, it is a given that either Matt Holliday or Jason Bay (the #1 and #2 most expensive free agents this offseason) will be patrolling their vast left field in 2010. There are also grumblings that they plan ...

Not surprisingly, Jason Varitek exercised his $3 million player option to return to the Red Sox for one more year.
The one role I can see him being somewhat helpful in is as a backup who starts against left-handers only . His name should never, ever be written on a lineup card against a ...

As you might expect, the Red Sox brass headed out of the annual GM meetings (not to be confused with the Winter Meetings, which occur in December and are usually much more eventful) without getting much done.
One interesting news tidbit to report: reliever Billy Wagner might be willing to ...

Apparently deciding that Tim Wakefield’s unique perpetual option (what I call a “gentleman’s option”) was no longer viable, the team has signed the ancient knuckleballer to a base of $5 million over two years . It’s an edible incentive-laden contract, just in case ...

The Gold Glove Awards have basically been rendered meaningless by some insane picks over the years. Shortstops with double-digit negative UZR, first basemen who play less than 1/3 of the year at the position, aging center fielders who can barely walk. The odd choices would be funny if they ...

For the first time in over ten years, the Red Sox will begin the coming season with a primary catcher not named Jason Varitek .
The Sox declined Varitek’s team option for next season, and exercised their option on offensive juggernaut Victor Martinez. Varitek will likely exercise his ...

The Red Sox declined a 1-year $6 million option on slick-fielding shortstop Alex Gonzalez this weekend. Given the dearth of viable replacements in the organization, I find this move rather surprising.
There are several explanations I can think of:
The team has a tacit agreement in place ...

Less than 24 hours after the 2009 MLB
season officially ended, the Red Sox have begun constructing
their 2010 club. The team acquired Florida Marlins outfielder Jeremy Hermida for a couple of fringe left-handed relievers (Hunter Jones and Jose ...

Since nothing much is happening in the baseball world, let’s briefly turn our attention to Causeway Street, where the Boston Celtics are currently undefeated (6-0) after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves last night.

Nothing much happening in the baseball world, aside from the usual tea leaf reading common among scribes this time of year. We’ll be posting some in-depth analysis of the holes on the Red Sox roster (1B/3B, SS, LF, P), but for the next few days, I’ll let the ashes cool on the 2009 ...

Boston Globe scribe Tony Massarotti, undoubtedly trying to make the Guinness Book of World Records for most death threats on a sports blog post, has informed us Red Sox fans that we should be rooting for the Yankees in the World Series.
No thanks, Champ.

As you can probably imagine, the two finalists here are Derek Jeter and Miguel Tejada. Comparing them will be relatively easy, since they have both been playing SS for the entire decade.

With the Patriots having a bye week, it feels somewhat liberating to have absolutely no sports to watch for the next 10 days or so. Absolutely nothing worthwhile to follow in the sporting world. Well, maybe there’s some interesting soccer matches going on. Let me check on that.
