“I would love to be a Red Sox forever. I would like to retire with this team.”
In the last year, Carlos Narváez has gone from rookie ex-Yankees backup catcher to being named Red Sox starting catcher by manager Alex Cora.

Two very different situations is all I will say.
Alex Cora and Trevor Story remember their post-playoff elimination talk about his contract a bit differently, but the point remains the same:
When faced with an opportunity to cash in his comeback season for longer-term contract security, Story chose to stay:

Alex Cora said Trevor Story had his opt-in decision ready during the postseason.
"That was right away. We had that conversation five minutes after the last out in New York. He came into the office, he's like, 'I'm in. I ain't going nowhere.'"
Trevor Story wants the Red Sox to make their 2B and 3B decisions "hopefully sooner rather than later."
"I think it’s just better for everybody.”

Red Sox catcher Carlos Narváez was told he needed knee surgery last summer.
“The amazing group that we had, I knew we were getting ready for a postseason, and I just felt my team needed (me). I said, ‘Please help me to get through to the end.’” www.bostonherald.com/2026/02/11/r...

Did you read it?
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.
“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."
Mike Greenwell's Red Sox teammates are mourning and paying tribute to a man taken from them too soon: www.bostonherald.com/2025/10/09/r...
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:

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
Anthony Rizzo hanging out with the Cubs faithful 💙

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.
