Boston Red Sox

Last season, the Boston Red Sox had a fire sale, jettisoning Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto for James Loney and other considerations.

The Boston Red Sox have a lot of flaws in their bullpen.

However, things got worse when the Red Sox received word on Tuesday that reliever Andrew Miller would be having season-ending surgery.

If the Boston Red Sox have the opportunity to upgrade at third base with Michael Young, general manager Ben Cherington needs to make that happen.

Boston sports fans coming off their Stanley Cup hangovers are beginning to notice the Red Sox again, and what they are seeing is a team defying all expectations.

In fact, the Sox are on pace for one of the greatest single-season turnarounds in franchise history.

I know that I have recently written that Andrew Bailey will get a chance if he starts to pitch well, but Koji Uehara is just phenomenal in the closer's role for the Boston Red Sox.

Will Middlebrooks has been demoted to Triple-A, and it's starting to make fans wonder—did we jump the gun on crowning him the next big star of the Boston Red Sox?

The 2013 Boston Red Sox have risen to the top of the AL East not because of superlative superstar performances, but rather due to the contributions of many.

They have taken a step back from their stars-first approach and have instead looked to piece together a team filled with capable veterans and young players determined to make an impact.

The results, thus far, have been beyond what most experts could have expected.

The Detroit Tigers obliterated the Boston Red Sox 10-3, Saturday evening at Comerica Park.

Everything went right for the Tigers all night long.

Detroit wasted no time, striking early with a huge grand slam by way of Victor Martinez in the first inning. From that moment on, the hits kept coming.

The Boston Red Sox struck first in the afternoon half of their doubleheader against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. 

Rain delayed the game nearly three hours in the bottom of the fifth inning, which ended the starters' outings earlier than planned. 

Boston's Alfredo Aceves went five innings, allowing only three hits and one run.
