Backup Red Sox outfielder Rob Refsnyder finished things off Wednesday night against the Colorado Rockies, delivering the biggest blow in a five-run seventh inning that propelled Boston to a 6-3 win at Fenway Park.He also got things going, too.Refsnyder, who was in the leadoff spot, singled on the first pitch he saw from Rockies lefty Austin Gomber and then promptly stole second, which was much to the delight of Red Sox manager Alex Cora and the beginning of a game-changing performance.

Raimel Tapia reportedly has found a new home.The 29-year-old signed with the Brewers on Tuesday and joined the team before Milwaukee's game against the Minnesota Twins, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.Tapia was designated for assignment by the Red Sox last week and cleared waivers, which made him a free agent.

The Boston Red Sox certainly enjoyed when Jarren Duran had one of the best lines in Major League Baseball.They just knew it was bound to come to an end.Duran made his 2023 debut on April 17, earning a call up after Adam Duvall went to the injured list with a broken wrist.Though he was the Red Sox's sixth outfield option, the 26-year-old was thrown into the fire as an everyday centerfielder and ran with his opportunity, building a slash line of .417/.456/.683

Major League Baseball spring training officially is underway, which means Opening Day is right around the corner, and the Boston Red Sox surely have a bad taste in their mouths after how 2022 unfolded.The good news?A new season presents an opportunity to cleanse the palate, and the work put in over the next several weeks could go a long way toward dictating whether the Red Sox bounce back in 2023.

Red Sox "I couldn't be more excited to be playing with the Red Sox and to be a part of this ride."For Adam Duvall, there wasn't just one overarching factor that led him to ink a one-year contract with the Red Sox Tuesday.Rather, there were several elements that convinced the outfielder to sign on the dotted line.

The Red Sox and the Yankees will wrap up their three-game series in the Bronx on Sunday night.Brayan Bello will be on the bump for the visitors when they to try win their first series of the season against their fiercest foe.The 24-year-old is coming off a quality start against one of the baseball's most potent lineups Monday when he limited the Tampa Bay Rays to three runs on six hits across six innings.

For the second straight night, the pitch clock nudged the usual Yankees-Sox crawl into a more brisk affair of well under three hours.The first two games of this rivalry series have been hotly contested pitcher's duels.The Red Sox took the first game 3-2, but the Yankees came out victorious Saturday night by a score of 3-1.

The Yankees knew that they had some dicey weeks ahead once they learned of Aaron Judge's toe injury.It's hard to replace the defending MVP in a lineup that revolves around him.Often, it feels like something is just missing to these Yankees rallies.That was the case on Friday, as New York scratched out nine hits but only ended up plating a pair of runs (one on a solo homer).

NJ.com | Mike Rosenstein: We're entering the part of the offseason where many publications are updating their respective top 10s and top 100s, which means we'll certainly spend some time dreaming on the potential of Anthony Volpe, Jasson Domínguez, and the like.It also may mean we'll wince seeing the names of prospects recently traded away, perhaps none more so than Ken Waldichuk.

The Yankees held their second press conference in as many days yesterday, this time to officially announce the Carlos Rodón signing.Rodón donning the pinstripes means that we now have an accurate 40-man roster once more, though there's rumblings on the horizon that the Yanks are still working the phones for a trade or two.

The Red Sox made their opinion of Jarren Duran abundantly clear Monday.Prior to the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park, Boston needed to free up a roster spot for utility infielder Christian Arroyo, who was set to return from the injured list.Boston elected to designate Raimel Tapia for assignment even though the veteran outfielder had done a solid job in his role for two months and provided the club with a fairly versatile skillset.

The Red Sox have one of the top offenses in Major League Baseball when everything is working, scoring the third-most runs (262) in the American League through 50 games played.The bats have gone cold throughout the middle of May, however.Boston has averaged just 3.94 runs per game over its last 17, falling 9.5 games back in the AL East to mark their furthest distance back of the season.

The Boston Red Sox acquired Adam Duvall this offseason in hopes that his pull-side power would play well at Fenway Park.It did, with the 34-year-old slashing an absolutely ludicrous .455/.514/.1.030across eight games, wearing out the Green Monster (and every other left field) to the tune of four home runs, five doubles, one triple and 14 RBIs.

Slowly but surely, the Red Sox are getting healthy, at least on one side of the ball.Boston activated infielder Christian Arroyo on Monday ahead of its series finale with the Tampa Bay Rays.The Red Sox, in a corresponding roster move, designated utility man Raimel Tapia for assignment.Arroyo has been on the injured list for almost a month after suffering a hamstring strain in early May.

Uncharacteristically, the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees came to an agreement on a trade.Boston traded outfielder Greg Allen, who didn't appear in any big league games with the club this season, while New York dealt away minor league pitcher Diego Hernández along with cash considerations, per team announcement on Friday.

Red Sox After a sluggish start, Boston is now 14-6 since April 14, the second-best record in baseball over that stretch.Don't look now, but the Red Sox are on a roll.Following Boston's 11-5 victory over the Blue Jays on Thursday, the Sox have now won six games in a row and sit third in the AL East standings at 19-14.

Will Alex Cora have a go-to catcher in mind by Opening Day?The Red Sox moved on from Christian Vázquez before last season's MLB trade deadline.And while the move did well by Vázquez, who won his second World Series ring with the Houston Astros, it has also left Boston with a series of options for the primary catcher role in 2023.

BOSTON - Alex Cora has been stressing the importance of defensive flexibility for his entire tenure as Red Sox manager.He got some good news Friday.Christian Arroyo will join the Red Sox on Saturday after making one final rehab appearances with Triple-A Worcester on Friday, per Cora, while Adam Duvall takes the next step in his injury recovery.

Boston Red Sox prospect Bobby Dalbec has been on a tear over the past 13 games, recording seven home runs for Triple A-Worcester and an 11-game hitting streak.In 36 games for Worcester this season, Dalbec has 11 home runs, including one for 515 feet, and 31 RBIs on 39 hits and 20 walks.The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .300/.414/.623 on the season.

After nine seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers that included becoming a two-time All-Star, leader in the clubhouse, World Series champion and pillar in the community, Justin Turner was back in Southern California this week.With the Boston Red Sox playing the Los Angeles Angels, Turner found himself in a relatively familiar environment but not quite home.

The banning of shift in the upcoming 2023 season is something a lot of players have been looking forward to.Dodger fans have seen the shift struggles of past players like Edwin Rios, Cody Bellinger, Joey Gallo to the point where they are no longer with the team.Even current players like Max Muncy are feeling a little bit more confident about the upcoming rule changes.

Red Sox "He basically just told me, 'get your hands up, be athletic, act like you're going to hit the f****** s*** out of the ball.'"So far this season, Jarren Duran has consistently shown talents at the plate that he's hinted at over the past few years with the Red Sox.The 26-year-old outfielder began the year at Worcester but was called up to the majors after Adam Duvall went down with a wrist injury just a week and a half into the season.

Sunday?s loss to the Phillies snapped the Red Sox's eight-game winning streak, their longest streak in nearly two years.In what is considered to be the toughest division in baseball, they are just two games behind the Orioles, a half-game back from the Blue Jays and 2 1/2 games ahead of the Yankees.

Adam Duvall last played with the Red Sox on April 9, and his potential return date was pushed back Saturday.Boston announced it transferred Duvall to the 60-day injured list, per press release.The 34-year-old was placed on the 10-day IL on April 10 due to a wrist injury.It did not require surgery, and it appeared the outfielder had been making positive strides to return to a team that has won seven straight games heading into Saturday.

BOSTON - Just under 90 minutes before their 2023 campaign started Thursday, the Boston Red Sox announced their official Opening Day roster after days and weeks of the pieces coming together.Here's how the Red Sox roster stands before facing the Baltimore Orioles on Opening Day at Fenway Park.ACTIVE ROSTER (26)Pitchers (13): Richard Bleier, Ryan Brasier, Kutter Crawford, Tanner Houck, Kenley Jansen, Zack Kelly, Corey Kluber, Chris Martin, Kaleb Ort, Nick Pivetta, Chris Sale, John Schreiber, Josh Winckowski
Catchers (2): Reese McGuire, Connor Wong
Infielders (6): Christian Arroyo, Triston Casas, Yu Chang, Rafael Devers, Kiké Hernández, Justin Turner
Outfielders (5): Adam Duvall, Rob Refsnyder, Raimel Tapia, Alex Verdugo, Masataka Yoshida
15-DAY INJURED LIST (5)Pitchers (5): Brayan Bello, Wyatt Mills, James Paxton, Joely Rodriguez, Garrett Whitlock

Red Sox Four players will make their Boston debuts Thursday afternoon against Baltimore.The Red Sox will start a vastly different lineup on Opening Day in 2023 than they did a year prior.Manager Alex Cora will pencil in just three of the same starters against the Orioles on Thursday as he did against the Yankees for last year's Opening Day.

Red Sox The outfielder hit .326 in 17 games for Boston in spring training.It appears that on the final day of spring training, the Red Sox decided to go with Raimel Tapia as their fifth outfielder rather than Jarren Duran.According to the Boston Globe's Julian McWilliams, Adalberto Mondesi will be shifted to the 60 day injured list to make room for Tapia on the team's 40-man roster.

Red Sox The Red Sox are counting on Yoshida to drive in runs from the cleanup spot in their lineup.The Red Sox will need a lot to fall their way if they plan on playing baseball deep into October this season.Beyond the health of Chris Sale, Corey Kluber, and the rest of Boston's starting rotation, the Sox also need free-agent pick-ups like Justin Turner and Adam Duvall to deliver in the middle of the order.

Friday marked a new day for sports betting in Massachusetts.Sports betting has been legal in the Bay State for a short while now, but the wagering options just increased in a big way with the launch of mobile sports betting.Massachusetts sports fans can now sign up for accounts, deposit their hard-earned money and bet on sports from the comfort of their home - legally.

Every year, it seems, there's someone who emerges from relative obscurity to push for an Opening Day roster spot during Red Sox spring training.And oftentimes, those players are non-roster invitees.This season, there are several candidates to check that annual box.And they're easier than usual to identify based on both Boston's current roster construction and their own major league résumés.

Red Sox Yoshida was the most expensive free agent signing of Boston's offseason.Playing nine innings while trying to get to the bottom of whether Triston Casas, Boog Powell, or Moose Skowron is/was the first first baseman in MLB history to wear nail polish ...
1.It's probably an overstatement to suggest that Chaim Bloom's future with the Red Sox directly correlates with Masataka Yoshida's performance as a Major League Baseball rookie.

John Schreiber will return to provide a solid right-handed option in high-leverage situations, but he seems to be the only member of the 2022 bullpen that has a role locked down moving forward.Garrett Whitlock is moving to the starting rotation, while Tanner Houck could be asked to do almost anything.

Red Sox spring training is underway in Fort Myers, Fla., but that doesn't necessarily Boston is finished roster-building.Chaim Bloom and company have been steadily active since the 2022 Major League Baseball season ended, which suggests the Red Sox front office will continue looking around even with 2023 Opening Day less than a month away.

Jarren Duran has a very important spring training ahead of him if wants to make the Red Sox 40-man roster.The speedy outfielder had a tough 2022 in Boston that went beyond his stats.Duran misplayed a ball in center field in July that led to an inside-the-park grand slam from now-teammate Raimel Tapia while he was a member of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Raimel Tapia agreed to a minor league deal with the Boston Red Sox last month, which at the time was a bit interesting considering the fact the veteran outfielder has 567 games of major league experience.Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom, though, told reporters the organization was straightforward with the 29-year-old about his role and potential for contribution.

Most of the top free agents this Major League Baseball offseason have found homes, leaving the Boston Red Sox, among others, with very few impact options to consider before spring training.The Athletic's Jim Bowden, a former MLB general manager, on Thursday highlighted his top 12 remaining free agents, complete with "best fits" for each.

Note: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links, Schneps Media may earn a commission.Mets general manager wouldn't delve into how negotiations broke off with Carlos Correa, also known as the man who team owner Steve Cohen dubbed as the last big piece that would put the Queens club over the top in a quest for a World Series title.

It's impossible to say that the New York Mets and owner Steve Cohen spent with restraint this offseason after spending $801.6 million over a six-week stretch between November and December - but there is something to be said about how the Carlos Correa situation was handled.Rather than increase the 28-year-old All-Star's average annual salary to lure him away from the Minnesota Twins, the Mets held firm.

UPDATE (Wednesday, 8:07 a.m.):The Miami Herald's Craig Mish reports "Free Agent Outfielder Adam Duvall is in agreement with the Boston Red Sox.The deal is 1 year $7 million Dollars.Performance bonuses could get the deal up to $10 million dollars per source."Read more about that here.***
The New York Yankees and the New York Mets are both looking for an outfielder.

Eight remaining fourth outfielder options for White Sox originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago ​​​​​Editor's Note: "Eight remaining fourth outfielder options for the White Sox" originally appeared on Sox on 35th.Jordan Lazowski of Sox On 35th will be a regular contributor to NBC Sports Chicago's White Sox coverage for the 2022 season.

The Chicago White Sox surprised a lot of fans around baseball when they signed 28-year-old outfielder Andrew Benintendi to a franchise record 5-year/75 million dollar deal.Some were surprised the White Sox were actually willing to get a good free agent.More were surprised that this was somehow the biggest contract in White Sox history - and for this guy?

Red Sox Tapia spent last season with Toronto after six seasons with Colorado.Raimel Tapia is the second outfielder signed by the Red Sox in the past two days.The 28-year-old Dominican Republic native agreed to a minor league contract a day after Boston signed Adam Duvall to a one-year, $7 million deal.

For the first two months of 2021, the Braves were seemingly stuck in the mud, consistently stymied by their own inconsistency.The team perhaps needed a shot in the arm, and they got exactly that when Michael Harris II was called up from Double-A on May 27.When the dust settled on the season, it's safe to say that no one could've seen Harris' impact coming after he had played just 43 games in the high minors.

Dansby Swanson didn't have the Atlanta career that Freeman did, but he was still a big part of a lot of Braves teams: first some underwhelming, and then some quite overwhelming.After 827 regular season games, 37 postseason contests, over 3,500 PAs, and an accrual of over 16 fWAR, he's moving on to Chicago's north side, where his lovely locks will have the chance to sway in the breeze of the Windy City.

It certainly has been a fun several days watching Ronald Acuna Jr. in action in Venezuela.And while his success should be kept in context, it his also highly encouraging to see him consistently perform at a high level, hopefully proving he is back to full health.Along with the health of Acuna Jr., the Braves outfield could gain a boost against southpaws as Atlanta checks off its list of needs this offseason.

This year didn't end on the same high note for the Atlanta Braves and its fanbase as it did last year.That unfortunate ending doesn't mean that there aren't things to be thankful for this year.On the contrary, this year the Braves provided us with a lot to be thankful for throughout the season.I've been writing a version of this editorial for more than twenty years.

The Red Sox figure to be active this Major League Baseball offseason.But keep in mind: There's more than one way to skin a cat.While most headlines will center around Boston's own free agents (namely Xander Bogaerts and Nathan Eovaldi) and the biggest names available on the open market (Aaron Judge, Carlos Correa, Trea Turner, Dansby Swanson, Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander, Carlos Rodón, etc.), the Red Sox presumably will leave no stone unturned in their quest to improve the roster for 2023 and beyond.

As the World Series came to a close late Saturday night in Houston, the offseason officially began Sunday morning at 9 a.m.ET when 131 players officially filed for free agency.The Braves have nine players on the list, headlined by shortstop Dansby Swanson and closer Kenley Jansen..@MLBPARelease: 131 Players Become XX(B) Free AgentsOne hundred thirty-one players today were declared XX(B) free agents.

Last year, I pondered how the league, and especially the Yankees, might respond to the construction of both the Astros and Braves' rosters.At the time, I was probably being a little too reactive when considering what the Yankees could learn from the Braves.Their run was contingent on Eddie Rosario, Joc Pederson, Jorge Soler, and Adam Duvall playing out of their minds and covering for the loss of the teams' superstar, Ronald Acuña Jr. Realistically, if all the Yankees did in the offseason and trade deadline was acquire mid-tier players that they were hoping to get the absolute most out of, we would have all still been disappointed and hyper critical of Brian Cashman.
