Red Sox starter Chris Sale had Tommy John surgery on his left elbow on Monday, his 31st birthday, waiting 11 days after doctors said he needed the operation because of difficulty in scheduling during the coronavirus pandemic. Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said the team worked with doctors to make sure the procedure didn't burden an already-stressed healthcare system.
Before the global coronavirus pandemic put a stop to spring training, 23-year-old Red Sox prospect Jarren Duran was opening eyes in Fort Myers. As John Tomase explains, while Duran's speed is impressive, he's got the potential to do much more as his career develops.
TOKYO (AP) -- - The Tokyo Olympics will open next year in the same time slot scheduled for this year's games. Tokyo organizers said Monday the opening ceremony will take place on July 23, 2021 - almost exactly one year after the games were due to start. Last week, the IOC and Japanese organizers postponed the Olympics until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom and general manager Brian O'Halloran confirmed on March 19 that Sale would require surgery after unsuccessful attempts to rehabilitate his ailing elbow. "Chris will return to Florida soon to begin his rehab," Bloom said on Monday night. "It's a long process, but we know how driven he is to do this right.

Almost all Red Sox major league and minor league players have left Fort Myers to return to their offseason residences with no spring training restart date in sight because of the coronavirus outbreak. We do have some players who live locally or fairly locally,” Red Sox GM Brian O’Halloran said. "And I believe there are a small handful that are still in Fort Myers.

With what was supposed to be Opening Day on our minds and looking back at past Red Sox openers, there were few better and no one performed longer in a Boston uniform than Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Major League Baseball will air 30 games across its digital platforms Thursday, giving fans plenty of hardball to choose from on an opening day postponed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Boston also would have more flexibility to carry Rule 5 Draft pick Jonathan Arauz, who the Red Sox must keep on the active roster all season (barring an IL stint) or be offered back to his previous club, the Astros, for $50,000. Both Plawecki and Lucroy were impressing during spring training camp. Plawecki’s at-bats right now are fantastic, Roenicke said March 6.
Speaking on a conference call hours after the announcement that Sale needed surgery, Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom declined to say if the surgery had been scheduled or which doctor would be performing it. Bloom said the Sox were mindful of the current state of the healthcare system and vowed that the club would not put any additional further burden on it.
Red Sox right-handed pitcher Mike Shawaryn had a notable offseason — and not just because he got engaged Dec. 15 to his girlfriend, Emily Brauckmuller, a former gymnast at the University of Maryland. Shawaryn, who pitched Maryland, also made it through an offseason of major Red Sox roster turnover. Twelve of the 25 pitchers who finished the 2019 season on Boston’s 40-man roster (or 60-day IL) no longer remain on it.
We have been without Major League Baseball before now. The player strike of 1981 resulted in seven weeks and 713 games lost in the middle of the season. When play resumed on August 9, the season was divided into two distinct halves with the playoffs reorganized to reflect this.
Red Sox 1 Blue Jays 10 Game 4 of the season’s first series for the Blue Jays was the first blowout of the season. It was also had Shun Yamaguchi made his first start. The game made an interesting choice to put him in the rotation.
Commissioner Rob Manfred said Major League Baseball's sign-stealing investigation of the Boston Red Sox is complete and a report is forthcoming. "We are done with the investigation," he said during an interview on ESPN's SportsCenter on Wednesday. The Red Sox were investigated for allegedly using their video replay room to steal signs during the 2018 season, when they went on to win the World Series under first-year manager Alex Cora.

That would prove to be pretty big as Teoscar Hernandez and Vladimir Guerrero followed that up with a base hit and a walk, but Darwinzon came back with a strike out and a ground ball to escape the jam. That would become a theme on the day. After the Red Sox went a second straight inning of not advancing beyond first base, Martín Pérez came on for the bottom half of the second as the bulk arm for this game, and he had an easy 1-2-3 inning in his first inning of work.
Over the last seven seasons, Scherzer has gone 118-47 with a 2.82 ERA (for an ERA+ of 149) and an 0.98 WHIP while averaging 5.35 strikeouts per walk and 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings. That was good enough for 46.7 WAR at Baseball-Reference.com. Scherzer has won three Cy Youngs, placed in the top five the four other times and made seven straight All-Star teams before adding the one thing he was missing last season by helping the Nationals win the World Series with a gritty Game 7 start.
Third baseman Rafael Devers has turned into a terrific player for the Red Sox, but tells the Boston Herald he still experiences some anxiety before games and it's actually one of the toughest things the young Devers he's dealt with in his three-year MLB career.

Years Ago The Yankees and Red Sox make a rare trade, as the two teams decide to swap designated hitters. Coming off a Silver Slugger win with the Yankees in 1985, Don Baylor was sent to Boston in exchange for Mike Easler. On a narrative level, the Red Sox came out as clear winners, with Baylor winning another Silver Slugger and receiving down-ballot MVP votes while helping Boston make the World Series.
Outside of what amounted to nine seasons for Epstein, the Red Sox have had a parade of executives come and go while Cashman has lasted 22-plus years in New York. The Yankees are 2,098-1,462 under Cashman, the best record in baseball in that time, with four championships. The Red Sox have the second-best record at 1,978-1,585, and also with four championships.

The 2020 Major League Baseball season, as well as other sports, remain on hold due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that has spread across the world. Opening Day would have taken place this week at stadiums all throughout the country, but there is now no telling when the season will get started, if at all. MLB nonetheless continues to paint the possibility of playing all 162 games this year.
The Red Sox have added Yairo Muñoz, who they signed to a minor league contract, to their spring training roster as a non-roster invitee. Boston also announced Thursday it optioned 40-man roster pitchers Colten Brewer, Chris Mazza, Matt Hall, and Jeffrey Springs to minor league camp. The Red Sox initially were scheduled to play their regular season opener Thursday (today).
Hourly workers at Fenway Park who are employed through Aramark had their petition answered by the Red Sox on Friday afternoon. The Red Sox announced they'd increase their pool of money to help hourly workers from $1 million to $1.5 million and will now include Aramark employees who work at Fenway. "The Aramark family is a central part of ours (at Fenway Park and JetBlue Park), and we are glad that these individuals will now benefit from this aid," team president Sam Kennedy wrote in an email to ...
The Red Sox are doing their part in order to help their employees while the Major League Baseball is on hold. Boston on Friday announced a plan to expand its funding to $1.5 million to help pay Aramark workers for as long as the season is suspended, according to MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo. Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy sent an email to Fenway Park employees Friday night.
While the sports world has been put on hold and the nation has been told to stay home amid the coronavirus outbreak, there’s another group of workers who have been the exception: hospital staff. Boston is known for its cutting edge hospitals and Ortiz recognizes that as well as anyone. He spent 14 seasons with the Red Sox, where he became a three-time World Series champ and a ten-time All-Star.
Right-hander Michael Kopech was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte by the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. The 23-year-old is among the top pitching prospects. He missed last season after he had Tommy John surgery in September 2018, but he hit triple-digits on the radar gun during his first spring training appearance on March 10.
I’m going to be honest here, I’m not really sure what to make of moves like this in a time like this. This is mostly procedural and generally we would look at this as a sign as to what the roster may look like if/when baseball starts up in 2020. In this case, it would certainly indicate that Ryan Weber and Brian Johnson seemingly have an inside track for the rotation while Ryan Brasier and Austin Brice are likely to make the bullpen.
It set the right tone. The game drew the largest All-Star crowd in history and featured dramatic late-inning home runs by Hall of Famers Gary Carter and Mike Schmidt that gave the National League a 5-4 comeback victory. Carter had two home runs and was named the game’s MVP.
With no baseball on what was supposed to be Opening Day, Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi spent his night perfecting a dance challenge on TikTok.
It's pretty special to be the Opening Day starter for the Boston Red Sox, but in the years Boston won the World Series, how did those pitchers do on Opening Day? We'll break it down.
Now that what should have been Opening Day for the 2020 season has come and gone, John Tomase is adjusting to life without baseball \- and he's already missing it.
Today is Opening Day but it sure doesn't feel like it for obvious reasons. We kick around the topic in our virtual newsroom.
Commissioner Rob Manfred appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt on Wednesday evening, discussing the eventual beginning of the 2020 season.
Thursday was supposed to mark the beginning of the Boston Red Sox franchise's 120th season. Here are some interesting stats from the history of Red Sox Opening Days.
We are done with the investigation,” Manfred told ESPN host Scott Van Pelt. There’s been a delay in terms of producing a written report because frankly I have not had time to turn to it with the other issues. But we will get a Boston report out before we resume play.
Things got off to a solid enough start for the Red Sox when Andrew Benintendi led things off with a base hit, and he would eventually get over to third base for Rafael Devers. Devers couldn’t come through, though, and it was a wasted opportunity for the Sox. The bottom of the inning went pretty similarly for Toronto, when Bo Bichette led things off with a double.
The head of Major League Baseball says he is finished with the investigation into cheating allegations against the Red Sox. Commissioner Rob Manfred told ESPN he hasn't written his formal report on claims of sign stealing by the Sox. Manfred said the probe is on the back burner as the league deals with the fallout from the coronavirus outbreak.
The Red Sox still are finding ways to entertain their fans even with the sports world on hold for the time being. Boston’s Twitter account has been keeping everyone engaged while we patiently wait for the beginning of the 2020 season. So far the account has released pictures of players for people to color, customized wallpaper for cell phones and even had an adorable thread during National Puppy Day.
