Starr: In failing to re-sign Bregman, Red Sox outdo themselves in worst way In failing to re-sign Alex Bregman, the Boston Red Sox have outdone themselves in worst way.

In the ‘Groundhog Day’-esque nightmare that never ends, the Red Sox are up a creek without a paddle, vessel, or excuse, having lost out on a top – and very sign-able – free-agent target once again.

But this time, it's somehow even worse.

After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

"Oh yeah? You like baseball? What if I make you smoke *an entire pack* of baseball?"

That was a lot of innings.

Red Sox Hall of Famer Mike Greenwell dies at 62 The Red Sox Hall of Famer Mike ‘The Gator’ Greenwell dies at 62

“He had big shoes to fill in left field, and he did a damn good job."

"He was fearless at the plate."

"A gamer in every sense of the word."

Red Sox lineups: Win or go home Win or go home. Here’s how the Red Sox and Yankees line up for Wild Card Game 3.

Less than 24 hours after being pulled from his postseason debut after 2.1 innings, Brayan Bello will be available out of the bullpen in this win-or-go-home Wild Card Game 3:

Crochet bests Fried in pitcher’s duel, Red Sox snatch Game 1 from Yankees A pair of stunning pitching performances by Garrett Crochet and Aroldis Chapman give the Red Sox a Game 1 win over the Yankees in the Wild Card round.

On Monday, Garrett Crochet told Alex Cora exactly how his Game 1 performance would go.

“He’s like, ‘Tomorrow you’re going to make one call to the bullpen.’ I said, ‘Maybe two.’ He’s like, ‘No, no, no, one. It’s going to be straight to Chappy.’"

#RedSox got 2 hits apiece from Trevor Story, Alex Bregman, and Nick Sogard tonight vs #Yankees.

Sogard is the first for BOS with 2 hits and a run scored in his first career postseason game since Christian Vázquez in 2017 ALDS Game 2 at #Astros.

Tonight, Alex Bregman will play his 100th career postseason game.

According to @stathead.com, only 7 other players in MLB history have reached triple digits:

Jose Altuve
Yadier Molina
Derek Jeter
Jorge Posada
Manny Ramirez
Bernie Williams
David Justice

Cora pumps brakes amidst Red Sox skid: ‘We should stop talking October’ With his team’s season at a crossroads, Red Sox manager Alex Cora wants to pump the brakes on postseason talk.

More on this, including #RedSox injury updates: www.bostonherald.com/2025/09/13/r...

A frank, but kind of ominous quote from #RedSox Alex Cora today:

“I think we should stop talking October, to be honest with you. There's a lot of stuff going on and we have to play better. I'm not saying we're in a bad spot, but I think we have to wait, you know, to see if October is part of this.”

Billy Rohr's MLB debut right is up there with the Great Molasses Flood on my list of Roman Empires.

Most recently:

Thank you so much!!!

At 22 years and 301 days old, Payton Tolle will be the 35th starting pitcher in Red Sox history to debut at his age or younger, and the youngest since Eduardo Rodriguez (May 28, 2015).

Also on the list: Jon Lester, Roger Clemens, Babe Ruth, and Smoky Joe Wood. (h/t @stathead.com)

Injured Marcelo Mayer giving his ‘100%’ to play for Red Sox again this year Marcelo Mayer will remain in Boston to rehab his wrist while the Red Sox travel to his hometown of San Diego for a weekend series with the Padres.

Marcelo Mayer:
“We have a great team, and all I want to do is play, so obviously we went with the injection route, and hopefully I’m good enough to play. And if not, I know that I gave it 100% trying to get back on the field.”

Tossed beer, Venmo requests, death threats: The fan/athlete relationship in the sports betting era In 2025, fans are screaming at, harassing, and sending death threats to athletes without compunction.

“Almost every (harassment) incident has been gambling-related… MLB’s not going to do anything about it because they make so much money off the betting.”

Red Sox players and execs on how sports betting has changed the game: www.bostonherald.com/2025/07/01/s...

Jarren Duran's 200th career extra-base hit is ANOTHER triple.

The last Red Sox player to have multiple triples in a game was Mookie Betts on July 13, 2018.

One of my all-time favorite ⚾️ quotes:

“It is a haunted game in which every player is measured against the ghosts of all who have gone before. Most of all, it is about time and timelessness, speed and grace, failure and loss, imperishable hope, and coming home.”

If Aramark doesn’t settle their contract within the next two days, workers will begin striking on Friday for the entirety of this weekend’s Red Sox/Dodgers series at Fenway:

awww I'm honored!

Buehler’s best work wasted as Red Sox drop Phillies opener in bizarre loss On Monday night, the Red Sox lost to the Phillies in a way not seen in MLB in over 50 years.

The ending was unlike any seen in MLB since 1920 (with the exception of one game in 1971), but the real cause of the Red Sox's loss to the Phillies on Monday night was painfully familiar...
