The Boston Red Sox have given chief baseball officer Craig Breslow much to ponder with the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline looming. Less than a month ago, they were obvious sellers as the worst team in the American League. They then proceeded to win 14 of 16 games, including nine straight heading into the All-Star break, putting themselves back into the playoff conversation. Boston will begin the second half just a half-game back of the third AL Wild Card spot. While its 46-48 record doesn’t scream “contender,” the AL is wide open. Only the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays, New…
The Boston Red Sox, for lack of a better term, have been pitching their dicks off. You know this is typed and not a live performance, right? Like, you could ask someone for a better term or at least think on it for a little while, Jake. Fine. I lied. It’s not because I lack a better term. In fact, I could think of countless. I just think pitching their dicks off sounds funny, so it’s staying in. Lay off. Stop talking to yourself and get to the point. Fair enough, let’s talk pitching.Despite injuries ravaging the staff (Sonny Gray…

It sounds like we may be able to cross Willson Contreras off the Boston Red Sox’ list of potential trade candidates. Ahead of Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia, Contreras told reporters that he spoke to the Red Sox front office about his desire to stay in Boston. Contreras’ contract includes a no-trade clause. “I said, ‘I would trade something to stay here,'” Contreras said, via WEEI’s Rob Bradford. “I like it here, I like Boston. It’s a great place to play. And it’s not easy to get traded again, so I think I’ve found my family here.” Contreras also…
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Spain’s defensive prowess and swagger were just too much for an attacking trio led by France great Kylian Mbappé, and just enough to get the 2010 champions into another World Cup final.The Spanish team managed a record sixth shutout in seven games so far, winning 2-0 in the semifinals Tuesday against one of the most prolific scorers in World Cup history.Teenager Lamine Yamal certainly was correct when he said France should fear Spain. That despite FIFA’s top-ranked team being led by Mbappé — their captain with 20 goals in his 20 World Cup games before the semifinals — Ballon d’Or…
It’s the Midsummer Classic tonight in Philadelphia, just a few weeks after America’s 250th birthday. Is that why it’s in Philadelphia? Who knows?The Red Sox have several representatives this year, which is kind of crazy given how most of this season has gone. Ceddanne Rafaela, Willson Contreras, and Aroldis Chapman are representing the team tonight, while Ranger Suarez was also named an All-Star but isn’t participating due to injury. Is there anything you’d like to see? Personally, I think it would be funny if Willson Contreras was hit by a pitch in a way that doesn’t hurt him. Has a…
