    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, August 22, 2020 * The Boston Globe In Red Sox season-high third straight win, stars join forces on offense Alex Speier On a night when the Red Sox started a selloff of their pitchers as a point of departure in their moves to strengthen themselves for future seasons, the team’s lineup offered a reminder of what still remains. A pair of World Series ring holders, closer Brandon Workman and middle innings reliever Heath Hembree, were dealt to the Phillies — along with cash and either a player to be named or cash consideration — on Friday night. In exchange, the Sox received a pair of righthanders — Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold — with a chance to contribute as starters. The decision to deal away current contributors for a pair of pitchers who will report to Pawtucket gave a clear window into where the Red Sox are in their pursuit of a championship. Yet the backdrop against which the trade occurred offered its own form of evidence about the state of the team’s competitive ambitions. The Red Sox lineup once again shelled Orioles pitchers, opening up an 8-0 lead before withstanding a late- innings rally for an 8-5 win in Baltimore that gave the Sox their season-high third straight victory. The team’s three top hitters — Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, and J.D. Martinez — joined forces in a way rarely seen this year, but one that offered a reminder of an offense that still has tremendous potential. For Bogaerts, his homer off lefty John Means represented his second homer in as many games.

  • Inbox: Will Tribe Pursue Morrison for First Base? By
    Inbox: Will Tribe pursue Morrison for first base? By Jordan Bastian MLB.com @MLBastian @DreamingBasebll With Santana's departure, do you think the Indians are most likely to fill their first baseman need now through free agency, trade, or internal candidates? #IndiansInbox Before news of Carlos Santana's deal with the Phillies, Indians manager Terry Francona was asked during the Winter Meetings if Cleveland had enough internal options to handle first base, if Santana signed elsewhere. "We have guys we could [play there]," Francona said. "[But] I think we'd probably like to sign somebody." So, if we're going off that quote, then it sounds like free agency is the most likely route for the Indians. Cleveland has been linked to free-agent first basemen Logan Morrison and Matt Adams in reports. Others on the market include Yonder Alonso, Lucas Duda, Mike Napoli, Mark Reynolds and Adam Lind, among others. Among the names listed there, Morrison is an interesting possibility. For starters, let's take a look at what Morrison did in 2017, compared to Santana. Santana: .259/.363/.455, 112 OPS+ in 667 plate appearances Morrison: .246/.353/.516, 135 OPS+ in 601 plate appearances Santana had 23 homers, 37 doubles, 79 RBIs and 88 walks vs. 94 strikeouts in '17 for the Indians. Morrison had 38 homers, 22 doubles, 85 RBIs and 81 walks vs. 149 strikeouts in '17 for the Rays. Cleveland is trying to find a way to replace Santana's offense, and Morrison presents a sample of production that was similar last season. The difference between the two is consistency.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, October 28, 2020 * The Boston Globe With the World Series over, the Alex Cora watch has officially begun Alex Speier The Alex Cora watch is officially underway. With the World Series over, Cora’s yearlong suspension for his participation in a sign-stealing scheme by the 2017 Astros has concluded. The former Red Sox manager, who’d been on MLB’s restricted list, is now able to interview with teams for the 2021 season and beyond. The conclusion of Cora’s suspension comes at a time when the Red Sox are looking to fill the very managerial role he vacated was his nine months ago. Curiosity is running high in the industry — including in many corners of the Red Sox organization — about whether Cora and the Red Sox will pursue a reunion. The Red Sox have already interviewed at least seven managerial candidates — none with major league managing experience. While many see Cora as a presumptive favorite to be rehired based on the strong relationships he has with many members of his former team, the Red Sox front office was meticulously noncommittal as to whether they will consider him as a candidate for his former position. “I don’t want to get into the business of saying a lot of things about him that I haven’t had a chance to say to him,” chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said at the end of September. “So I don’t want to get into any more detail that that.” Cora left the Red Sox organization Jan.

    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, September 10, 2019 * The Boston Globe Healthy sign: David Ortiz delivers first pitch Julian McWilliams In a wild 24 hours for the Red Sox that centered around the firing of president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski late Sunday night, for a moment, the dark clouds that hovered this year over Fenway Park cleared. David Ortiz made his first public appearance Monday evening to throw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the Red Sox’ series finale against the Yankees. Former Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek caught the throw. Three months to the day since he was shot in the Dominican Republic, Ortiz jogged onto the field after he was described by the park announcer as “the symbol of resilience, strength, triumph and love . our one and only, Big Papi.” Afterward, Ortiz addressed the crowd in front of the pitcher’s mound. “Good evening,” said Ortiz, who was met with cheers. “First of all, I want to thank God, for giving me a second opportunity of my life and being able to be here with all of you. I want to thank the Red Sox — my real family — they always have been there for me, supporting me no matter where I’m at. They were the first ones to support me. Thank you very much. “I want to thank all of you for all the prayers. I want to thank my former teammates for being there for me also. All of them came over to check up on your boy. “Also, I want to thank the Yankees, allowing my boys to come over and check up on Big Papi.
