Fangraphs currently projects the Red Sox to be worth 41.3 WAR in 2025, which would rank 13th in major league baseball. It would also mean that four other wild card teams finish ahead of them for a playoff spot. Their current worst positions are C (1.3 WAR), SS (1.4 WAR) and DH (1.7 WAR).

Brendan Campbell is reporting that the Red Sox are signing outfielder Kolby Johnson to a minor league contract. Kolby Johnson hit .308/.380/.459 with 32 steals for the Staten Island FerryHawks of the independent Atlantic League (comparable to AA or AAA).

The Red Sox have acquired C Blake Sabol from the San Francisco Giants in return for international bonus pool space. Sabol is a lefthanded hitting catcher who can platoon with Connor Wong and is above average at framing pitches. Also can play other positions, which Cora likely appreciates.

When the good lord takes me, let me die with my chicken bones in my pockets.

MLB Pipeline conducted a poll of MLB executives asking them who was most likely to win Rookie of the Year in 2025. Two Red Sox players finished in the top 5.

Chris Cotillo is reporting that the Red Sox remain active in the market for relievers. They have checked in on Tanner Scott, Trevor Hoffman, Carlos Estevez, Tommy Kahnle, Andrew Kittredge and AJ Minter among others.

Will Blue Jays land one of these top FA bats? We're keeping track of all the latest free agent and trade rumors.

Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam are reporting that the Red Sox are a "preferred destination" for 3B Nolan Arenado, but the Red Sox interest is "unclear".

Rob Bradford is reporting that reliever Chris Martin turned down more money from the Red Sox to pitch closer to home in Texas.

Jon Heyman is reporting that the Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays are most likely to sign Alex Bregman.

Steamer projects the Boston Red Sox to have the best park adjusted pitching in the American League.

You can be a doomer all you want, but there are plenty of good FA's left.

Burnes, Bregman, Sasaki, Alonso, Flaherty, Santander, Kim, Hoffman, Scott... there are plenty of good players left.

It's still December, and we're within $25 million of the luxury tax.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Teoscar Hernandez to a 3 year/$66 million contract. The Boston Red Sox were also rumored to be involved, and they could now pivot to Alex Bregman or Randal Grichuk.

The Detroit Tigers have signed Gleyber Torres, which likely takes them out of the running for Alex Bregman. The Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox were considered the favorites to sign Bregman.

Red Sox still waiting to hear if they will get a meeting with Japanese star Roki Sasaki - The Boston Globe The 23-year-old Japanese righthander has either held or scheduled meetings with a handful of teams, but as of Tuesday Boston was on the outside looking in.

The Red Sox are unsure if they'll get a meeting with Roki Sasaki.

The Red Sox have approximately $24 million in salary room remaining below the first luxury tax threshold. They could sign another relief pitcher like Jeff Hoffman or Kirby Yates, a platoon hitter like Randal Grichuk and a backup catcher such as Yasmani Grandal and remain under the luxury tax.

The Red Sox chose to spread money around between Walker Buehler and Patrick Sandoval rather than spend big on one starting pitcher like Corbin Burnes. At the very least, they should have some strong depth options in Kutter Crawford, Quinn Priester, Cooper Criswell, Dick Fitts and Michael Fulmer.

Russell Dorsey is reporting that the Red Sox have agreed to a one year/$21.05 million contract with free agent starting pitcher Walker Buehler.

You've lost the plot if you're complaining about a power hitting 1B not being a good baserunner.

Corbin's not getting $50 million, so he'd still be better and cheaper than Castillo and a FA 1B.

Red Sox would be better off just paying Corbin Burnes $30 million a year versus paying Castillo and a FA 1B $50 million a year.

I'm sure the Mariners asked, and the Red Sox said no. They're both projected to be worth 2.5 WAR next year, but Castillo is an aging, declining player making $25 million a year, and Casas is a 25 year old making the league min.

Sad to hear about the passing of Rickey Henderson. When I saw my first major league game, I waited outside the SkyDome to see the players and watched Rickey get in a cab with Manny Ramirez.

My guess would be Romy Gonzalez.
