As the 20th anniversary nears, everyone will be thinking about the 2004 Red Sox and what they accomplished. Plus, a look at some action items the team has to check off in the coming weeks.

10/18/2024

A familiar face for Red Sox fans had a big night in Game 4 of the NLCS and helped get his team within a game of the World Series.

10/17/2024

The Red Sox will pursue relief help this winter. But they also have some rehabbing internal candidates, including a former AL Rookie of the Year who was a bit of a forgotten man in 2024.

10/17/2024

MassLive's Red Sox writers just spent six months following the team around the country. All of them have been to (almost) every ballpark. So how would they rank them, No. 1 through No. 30?

10/17/2024

On Wednesday night, a former Red Sox player came through once more in a big postseason spot for Los Angeles.

10/16/2024

In April, Jarren Duran thought he was the "worst player ever." Six months later, he's able to look back at a historically great season with at least some satisfaction.

10/16/2024

10/13/2024

Random thoughts about (mostly) sports topics.

10/12/2024

Mookie Betts was in an 0-for-22 postseason slump. A Red Sox legend then called him to give him some advice. It helped Betts break out.

10/12/2024

A former Red Sox player with a reputation for performing well in the postseason struck again Friday night, providing a homer to help send his team to the NLCS.

10/11/2024

10/09/2024

How can Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, Roman Anthony, a right-handed masher and Masataka Yoshida all fit together on a roster? The answer is that they probably can't.

10/08/2024

Former Red Sox great Luis Tiant, who came to the Red Sox when his career was thought to be nearly over, became a franchise fixture for decades.
