The new year is for new starts, the unknown and the to-be-determined. No one can perfectly say what will happen in this 2026 calendar year, but we can certainly take a few highly educated guesses. In the land of Minor League Baseball, there may not be a more sought-after prediction

A brand new year means new possibilities for all 30 teams. Whether it's postseason success, individual awards, statistical records or player development, there's something every club can dream on heading into 2026. With the help of MLB.com's 30 beat writers, here's one key prediction for every team ahead of the

BOSTON -- Few Red Sox players entered the Major Leagues with the loud entrance of Dustin Pedroia. In 2007, he was the American League’s Rookie of the Year. That October, he belted a game-turning home run in Game 7 of the ALCS. In his first at-bat of the World Series,

Part of what makes baseball the best are the feats and amazing stats accruing left and right, every single day. We chronicle them throughout the year, but there’s no better time than before the calendar flips to take a look back. It’s hard to pick just one per team, after

A new year brings new opportunities -- to build on the positives from last year, to improve on a disappointing season, or to finally reach expected potential. One or more of those could apply in 2026 for players on the verge of a breakout year. These are players who, for

BOSTON -- It isn’t all that often that a bounceback candidate is a 23-year-old who, at this time a year ago, was considered one of the top prospects in the game. But the Kristian Campbell path is a unique one, and the Red Sox hope all roads lead to him

When the Red Sox struck a deal with the Cardinals to acquire first baseman/designated hitter Willson Contreras last Monday, they parted ways with a package of young pitching in the hopes that Contreras will be the answer at a position that has presented mostly question marks over the past several

This page will be updated throughout the offseason with all the latest Red Sox injury news and transactions.

There are three constants in life: Death, taxes and "Spaceman" Bill Lee taking the mound. Yes, the man who once left his team in anger to grab a beer and showed up again in the eighth inning (we'll get to that in a bit), is still out there to this

With the Minor League season in the rearview mirror and a new year on the horizon, we took a look at how some of the top prospects performed in 2025.

The 2025 Draft has early promising returns with several players making great first impressions in the months after signing. First overall pick Eli Willits, just 17 at the time, slashed .300/.397/.360 at Single-A. SEC standouts Andrew Fischer and Wehiwa Aloy posted an .848 and .856 OPS respectively. The Rockies' first

Nick Kurtz. Drake Baldwin. Roman Anthony. Trey Yesavage. Nolan McLean. They and so many other rookies left their marks on the 2025 season. One year ago, they were mere prospects who had yet to make their MLB debuts, and another host of newcomers will inevitably be difference-makers for their clubs

Another year in baseball is in the books, so let's look back at the best of the best plays from this past season. These are the annual Statcast superlatives -- the longest home run, the fastest strikeout, the speediest inside-the-park home run, the toughest catch and more. Here are 15

BOSTON -- As the old saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. For some select Red Sox players over the past several decades, that led to some debuts that were both sparkling and unforgettable.

Happy holidays, baseball fans. As our gift to you, we're back with the tradition we are determined to make happen: our yearly list of every team's longest home run of the season just past. Admittedly, we always think these lists make for good gifts, but we have a pretty good

Not only have the Red Sox had a lot of epic performances and games over the years, but they’ve also had their share of comical moments. In the grind of a 162-game season, you need a flash of light every now and then. Here are eight that gave Red Sox

With days left until 2025 becomes 2026, it's natural to use this time for reflection. Looking back at the year that was and finding satisfaction in all the progress that was made, while also looking ahead with hope for even better things to come, along with new goals in the

Though he’s largely remembered for one swing and the immediate seconds that followed, Carlton Fisk established a legacy of longevity behind the plate. He finished among the top 10 in Most Valuable Player Award balloting in four of his first 12 full seasons and ranked between 13th and 18th on

While the old adage says that a win is a win, most would agree that not all victories are equal in terms of overall significance to a team -- or simply from an entertainment perspective as a fan. With that in mind, and with the help of all 30 MLB.com

While you might not look at Dustin Pedroia and immediately think “Hall of Famer,” the former Red Sox star has a better case for Cooperstown than you might realize. Interestingly, he has a pretty close comp in another Boston second baseman who is already in the Hall of Fame. In

There are 120 Minor League Baseball teams, and they each play approximately 70 home games a year. In the interest of not doing math, let's just say this results in a lot of gameday promotions over the course of the season. Theme nights, giveaways, celebrity appearances and more are a

BOSTON -- Few teams can match the number of iconic moments or players the Red Sox have had in their history. Be it on the October stage or a standout moment in the regular season, Boston’s baseball lore is filled with highlights that have lived on for more than a

Be yourself, unless you feel like being something else. This is now an established Minor League Baseball promotional strategy, as teams across the country regularly assume alternate identities in lieu of their day-to-day primary identities. These alternate identities often have a local connection, with teams celebrating their region's culinary specialties,

BOSTON -- Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow’s lengthy search for a bat landed him a solid right-handed-hitting veteran first baseman in Willson Contreras and cash in a trade with the Cardinals on Monday. Boston sent over a package of young pitchers, led by righty Hunter Dobbins, who had
