Red Sox-Yankees Series Preview

When the Red Sox and Yankees usually meet it is a contest of an immovable object vs an unstoppable force. In this case the immovable object is a losing record for both teams, the unstoppable force injury on one side and mediocrity on the other.

Stop It: Chris Sale Will Be Fine

All over the airwaves I'm hearing concern about Chris Sale. His velocity was the lowest of his career last start. You can't pay Frank Tanana or Jamie Moyer or Koji Uehara $30 Million a year. He's got to be injured. Would the Red Sox let Chris Sale pitch if he were injured? Not a chance. They shut him down the whole second half last year because of shoulder discomfort. Every single pitcher in baseball has shoulder discomfort. Cora and his merry men would not risk Sale's health.

Alex Cora Solved The Red Sox Puzzle Yesterday. He Should Keep It Up

This is one of those times as a Red Sox fan and follower that feels so familiar and foreign all at once. It's like a long lost thought from limbo in Inception.

Have you ever worried about your future? The impending deadline for many Red Sox contracts is the elephant in the room. Here are the dynamics.

Red Sox Opening Day – A Wake Up Call

Mookie Betts Is The Best Value In Baseball

Yesterday the New York Post's Joel Sherman detailed how much money Mookie Betts has turned down in recent years. Mookie then gave an interview to Red Sox reporters this morning detailing how he loves it here, but will be going to free agency instead of signing a long term deal. Cue the hang wringing all across Red Sox Nation. But the fact Mookie is going year to year for the next two years makes him the greatest value in the majors right now.
