The Red Sox, who are looking to add major-league talent while continuing to build a farm system that has ranked among the worst in baseball in recent years, are not yet in a place where they’re looking to sacrifice significant prospect capital for big-league upgrades, chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said Wednesday on WEEI. That’s not something I would ever want to get into in detail, but I would just say generally that we try to be involved in everything,” Bloom told hosts Jon Meterparel and ...
David Ortiz was a pretty good free agent signee. Celtics: 1. Second Big Three gets the job done.
Good organizations that want to sustain competitiveness over time and avoid the valleys always focus on where their talent base is at, where their pipeline is at,” said Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom. If you ever stop worrying about the future entirely, you’re sort of dooming yourself to not have a very good one. If our goal is to be competitive as much as possible and ideally always, then some part of our energy always has to be focused on making sure that pipeline is strong.
The Boston Red Sox reportedly are pursuing former Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Kik Hernandez in free agency.
We're counting down the Top 10 New York sports stories of 2020, and we continue with No. 7...
The Red Sox “like” free-agent infielder Marcus Semien and may consider signing him to play second base, according to Peter Gammons of The Athletic. Gammons notes that Boston doesn’t yet know the amount of money it would require to sign the former Athletic. Semien, 30, has spent the last six years with Oakland, playing shortstop in all 773 games with the Athletics.
The Red Sox have signed right-hander Matt Andriese to a $2.1 million, one-year deal to bolster the back end of their starting rotation, chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said Wednesday. Andriese will earn a $1.85 million salary for 2021 and has a $3.5 million club option for 2022 with a $250,000 buyout. Andriese could earn up to $7.6 million over two seasons.
The Mets have hired Zack Scott as senior vice president and assistant general manager, reuniting the former Boston Red Sox executive with New York GM Jared Porter.
The Red Sox made a move Wednesday when Boston signed Matt Andriese to a one-year deal. The pitcher, who worked with Chaim Bloom while with the Tampa Bay Rays, certainly adds depth to the Red Sox’s rotation and bullpen, given the right-hander can start and appear in relief. Boston needs help with pitching as a whole, and signing Andriese will add some much-needed assistance.

Tommy Kahnle likely will miss the entire 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August. But that reportedly didn’t stop the Boston Red Sox from targeting the veteran reliever in free agency. Sources told MLB insider Robert Murray the Red Sox were a finalist for Kahnle, who on Wednesday agreed to a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
When Daniel Bard's control deserted him,it didn't look like he'd ever pitch in the majors again, let alone win any awards. But the former Red Sox reliever is doing both.
Andrew Benintendi has gone from a Rookie of the Year candidate to a mediocre outfielder in just a couple of years, but as John Tomase writes, Alex Cora has high hopes that Benintendi can rebound in 2021.
The Boston Red Sox have signed pitchers Zack Kelly and Jose Disla to minor league contracts. PNY Sports, the agency that represents Kelly, announced he signed with Boston. Fired up for our guy @Zack_Kelly.
BOSTON (CBS) – Jason Varitek, a two-time champion with the Boston Red Sox and a current member of the team’s coaching staff, has tested positive for COVID-19, according to his wife on Saturday. Catherine Varitek tweeted out on Saturday, “Just when we thought we were doing everything right Covid found a way in. Jason has tested positive w Covid-19.

With the signing this week of power-packed Hunter Renfroe, the Boston Red Sox outfield took on a new and different look. Given the roster right now, the best Sox outfield could have Alex Verdugo or Andrew Benintendi in left, Jackie Bradley Jr. in center and Renfroe in right. However, JBJ may or may not be on the Sox roster on Opening Day.
The Red Sox set a new franchise worst by posting a 5.58 ERA in 2020 and have a handful of health questions entering next season. Chris Sale (left elbow) and Eduardo Rodriguez (heart) didn’t throw a pitch through the shortened 60-game schedule. They’ve been relentless as far as exploring the market and exploring everything,” Cora said.
The 48-year-old, who won two World Series titles with the Boston Red Sox, signed a one-year deal with the Australian team in August and was in line to make his debut against Melbourne Aces at Blacktown International Sportspark on Thursday. "Manny Ramirez will be unavailable to play, and will be unavailable for selection to play for the Blue Sox until further notice," the team said in a statement https://ift.tt/2Kg1gjD. "With Manny's express consent, we advise that his unavailability is due to ongoing sensitive and confidential medical reasons."
In a call with reporters on Thursday, Cora predicted better things from some of the Boston players who had an off year during the pandemic-shortened season of 2020, when he was serving his sign-stealing suspension and the ballclub stumbled to last place. I’m not a gambling man, but I’ll bet you $1 that J.D. will have a better season,” Cora said. I’m watching a lot of games and videos, it was a different hitter.
Hunter Renfroe is more than just a slugger. Sure, the outfielder has moon-shot power, which should serve him well at Fenway Park as a member of the Boston Red Sox. But he’s also capable of impacting the game in other ways, like defensively, where he’s provided above-average glovework from both corner outfield spots throughout his Major League Baseball career.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora hasn’t yet had the chance to manage infielder Christian Arroyo, but he does have some familiarity with the second baseman. Back in 2017, when Cora was the general manager of Team Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic, he recruited Arroyo to be part of the team. Arroyo, who grew up in the Tampa area, is of Puerto Rican descent but was unable to play in the tournament because he needed to be in spring training to compete for a spot on the Giants’ major-league roster.

The Red Sox saw enough of Hunter Renfroe at Fenway Park this summer to think he might be a good fit.
Eduardo Rodriguez is making strides. The Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher missed the entire 2020 Major League Baseball season due to complications with COVID-19, but it appears as though he is making progress. Rodriguez took to social media on Wednesday to show his progress with a video throwing of a mound with the caption, “working progress.
The Boston Red Sox saw enough of Hunter Renfroe at Fenway Park this summer to think he might be a good fit. In two games in Boston for the Tampa Bay Rays, the right-handed slugger was 4 for 11 with two homers and two doubles. One of the homers went out to right field, but the other one went over the Green Monster and Lansdowne Street beyond the left field wall.
John F. Johnson is being charged in connection to an NFAC event in Louisville. The leader of the “Not F****** Around Coalition” black nationalist militia was federally charged with brandishing a rifle at police officers in September. Grand Master Jay,” real name John Fitzgerald Johnson, had been present at a Breonna Taylor protest in Louisville, and it’s alleged he pointed an AR-style rifle at police officers present within the Jefferson County courthouse.
When it comes to Rodriguez, Cora emphasized his “regular life” is what’s important, but he has started throwing and is slated to be ready for the new season. In Eduardo’s situation, the most important part is that he’s healthy, right? Forget the baseball part of it,” Cora told Casey Stern and Ryan Spilborghs, via MassLive.
We don’t know exactly when we’re going to get out of this or what it’s going to look like when we do, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel,” Boston chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said Monday. We’re just looking forward to better days ahead and trying to plan the best we can. Bloom said Boston is still anticipating an on-time start to next season and will adjust accordingly.

As of now, he’s on pace to be ready for the start of the season. Obviously, we’re not going to push him. We’re going to be very careful.
The Red Sox might have some competition if they aggressively pursue free agent starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi. Jim Duquette, a former Major League Baseball general manager who now works as an MLB analyst, reported Tuesday that Boston is among several teams still in the mix for Odorizzi. Duquette, who noted that negotiations for Odorizzi are heating up, also listed the San Diego Padres, New York Mets, Los Angeles Angels, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays and Minnesota Twins as having interest in ...

Agent Scott Boras said he and the Red Sox have had discussions about his client Jackie Bradley Jr. returning to Boston. They’ve certainly expressed the interest,” Boras said during a Zoom media availability Tuesday. He’s had great success there,” Boras added.

Jared Porter knows his new boss with the Mets is counting on a championship. ''Hearing comments like that motivates me,'' Porter said Monday after being introduced as New York's general manager. ''It shows a strong commitment from ownership who wants to win, who wants to put a winner on the field for the fan base in New York, and I completely align with that.

What made Hunter Renfroe an attractive free-agent acquisition for Chaim Bloom and the Sox? As John Tomase writes, Renfroe's bat and the Green Monster could turn into a match made in heaven.
Me and Hunter Renfrow actually have a really good relationship,” Renfroe said on a Zoom call shortly after signing with the Red Sox. We keep up with each other often and wish each other luck. I’m excited for what their team is doing and how well he’s doing this year as well.
But it ultimately might not hinder Boston’s offseason maneuvering all that much. Bloom is steadfast in his desire to build a sustainable contender — a goal that’s unlikely to be achieved by throwing around money and draft picks without a clear sense of direction — and could do the bulk of his work in the margins rather than make a sizable splash in free agency.
