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

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

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

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

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

The arrival of Payton Tolle to Fenway Park a mere 13 months after he was drafted felt unusually sudden, but also welcome to a fanbase that salivates over prospects. As the Red Sox tried to improve their postseason positioning in 2025, pitching injuries were piling up. The club’s player development

The 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame writers' ballot includes 12 first-time candidates. While they all won't end up enshrined in Cooperstown, and while it's possible that none of them will ever be inducted, each of them had at least one season in which they performed at a Hall of Fame

When we rank prospects at MLB Pipeline, it’s always with a long-term-potential frame of mind. We’re trying to project what kind of big leaguer each of these Minor Leaguers are going to be, so we look at tools or stuff and how we think each player will use them consistently

After missing out on Pete Alonso, the Red Sox needed a first baseman. The Cardinals needed a place to send their veteran first baseman as they attempt to rebuild their farm system. Sure, Chaim Bloom helped build the current Red Sox prospect base during his time in Boston, thus leading

Aroldis Chapman looks as dominant as ever, even entering his age-38 season in 2026. But when the Red Sox signed him last winter, he was a little bit of a gamble. When he joined the Sox, Chapman was coming off a rocky season (for him, at least) and getting into

There are 27 players on the 2026 Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) Hall of Fame ballot, and their careers went in so many different directions. Some were paragons of stability.

Craig Breslow, Boston's chief baseball officer, reinforced that notion when he acquired 6-foot-6 left-hander Jake Bennett from the Nationals in

On the heels of an 89-win season and Boston’s first playoff appearance since 2021, the Red Sox are looking to build upon their success with an even deeper playoff run next season. Luckily for the Red Sox, they’ve created a strong infrastructure and an MLB roster filled with a combination

As we say goodbye to 2025, it's a good time to revisit some of the best moments of the past season. From 13-strikeout complete games to multiple four-homer performances, the 2025 campaign featured excitement all across MLB. With the help of all 30 MLB.com beat writers, here's a look at
