    Blue Jays 4, Red Sox 3: Scoring just seems so difficult for these guys

    Let Captain Obvious scream it from the mountaintops: This offense is missing something. The Red Sox scored three runs in their loss to the Blue Jays Monday night at Fenway Park.

    John Farrell explains why Heath Hembree pitched 8th inning

    The momentum shift was swift. Just a few minutes after the Red Sox had tied Monday night's game with the Blue Jays up at 3-3 thanks to a Dustin Pedroia's double -- which also included Mookie Betts' ending the inning by getting thrown out at home -- the hosts found themselves in the kind of...

    John Farrell wants MLB to review everything, even checked swings

    As expected, the Red Sox' protest of Saturday's loss to the Yankees was denied by Major League Baseball. It was an outcome the Red Sox were expecting, with their motivation residing in simply looking at some situations a bit differently. In this case, it was the baserunner (Matt Holliday) going...

    Are Red Sox bidding against themselves for Todd Frazier?

    You need a starting pitcher at the non-waiver trade deadline? Get ready to pay the price. Same thing for diving into the high-end relief pitching market.
