BOSTON -- Prospect-for-prospect swaps aren’t the most common type of transaction in baseball. But sometimes they make sense. Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow found a match he liked with his former assistant Paul Toboni on Monday, and that led to Boston acquiring Nationals left-hander Jake Bennett in exchange

BOSTON – As the Red Sox and their rabid fanbase learned in abrupt fashion last week, Pete Alonso is as far gone from the grasp of the Red Sox as the towering home runs he figures to hit for the Orioles over the next five seasons. But this was never

ORLANDO -- The Red Sox entered this year's Winter Meetings with momentum, having acquired two starting pitchers via trade: Sonny Gray from the Cardinals and Johan Oviedo in a deal with the Pirates. That left chief baseball officer Craig Breslow in the position of being able to narrow his focus

When news broke on Wednesday that the Orioles had landed slugging first baseman Pete Alonso on a five-year, $155 million deal, the Red Sox missed out on a second major free-agent power hitter in as many days -- Kyle Schwarber agreed to a five-year, $150 million pact to stay with

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The thought of towering slugger Pete Alonso taking aim at Fenway Park’s Green Monster was an enticing possibility, one that was discussed for weeks. But on Wednesday, the final day of the Winter Meetings, the Red Sox learned that the right-handed hitter is headed to the Orioles

The scouts who had run Red Sox Drafts since 2015 all left the club this year. Mike Rikard (2015-19) took a job with the Diamondbacks as a senior advisor in January. The Nationals hired Paul Toboni (2020-22) as president of baseball operations in October, and he brought Devin Pearson (2023-25)

Call them the lucky 13. Thirteen players -- 12 right-handed pitchers and one catcher -- received their best chances yet to crack a Major League roster upon their selections in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday. All 13 were Rule 5-eligible because of the length of their careers and were

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Two years ago, just months into his tenure as chief baseball officer of the Red Sox, Craig Breslow decided to move on from oft-injured ace Chris Sale in a trade that landed a promising infielder named Vaughn Grissom from the Braves. Grissom -- through injuries, performance and

ORLANDO, Fla. – If you’re right-handed and make a living throwing from a mound, you had a seemingly good chance of hearing your name called during Wednesday’s Rule 5 Draft. There were a total of 13 players taken during the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft and 12

The World Baseball Classic may not begin until March, but you could be forgiven for thinking that it all kicked off in December. On Tuesday, managers, general managers, and team officials for all 20 teams participating in next year's tournament gathered at the Signia by Hilton Orlando for the 2026

Now that MLB has held the Draft Lottery and we know which teams are picking where, it's time to predict whom they'll select. The 2026 Draft actually won't begin until July 11, so we have 214 days to figure it all out. But we can't wait to make our first

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Every year, teams try to find some big league help at the Winter Meetings via the Rule 5 Draft. This year’s edition takes place here at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday and will be streamed live on MLB.com. Three players taken in last year's Major League phase

While a solid percentage of picks in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft get at least some big league time the season following their selection, it’s not so easy to stick around for an entire year.

One of the Red Sox’s priorities this offseason was to secure a No. 2 starter to pair with ace Garrett Crochet. To that end, the club swung a Nov. 25 trade with the Cardinals for Sonny Gray. Skeptics may question whether the Gray trade actually achieved Boston’s goal, considering Gray

After a big trade for Sonny Gray, the next NL Central righty the Red Sox have added might seem considerably less interesting, given that new addition Johan Oviedo has spent most of five seasons for St. Louis and Pittsburgh being decidedly unremarkable. You wouldn’t look at a career 4.24 ERA

BOSTON – The Red Sox dealt from a position of strength (the outfield) on Thursday, trading No. 3 prospect Jhostynxon Garcia to the Pirates as part of a five-player package that landed Boston a big righty in 6-foot-6, 275-pound Johan Oviedo, who has a chance to become an important part

BOSTON -- The rumors that the Red Sox might trade Jarren Duran started back in early July, roughly around the same time Roman Anthony proved that he was not an overhyped prospect, but instead was tracking to be the superstar to lead Boston into its next era of winning. It

Down on the farm, the 2025 season was full of breakout campaigns for Red Sox pitching prospects. Payton Tolle went from 16th on Boston's preseason rankings to becoming a Top 100 prospect and key part of the club's postseason run, alongside fellow southpaw Connelly Early (preseason No. 10, now No.

It might only be December, but there’s a serious case of Draft fever ranging. The root cause is the release of MLB Pipeline’s new 2026 Top 100 Draft Prospects list. The fans are definitely aflame, though, by the upcoming MLB Draft Lottery, which will determine the order of who gets
