Theo Epstein and the Boston Red Sox ownership are on a mission. The objective is simple: surpass the Yankees over the course of the 2010-2011 offseason. We haven’t even gotten to 2011 yet, and it would appear the mission has been accomplished. …
I saw this story Friday night on ESPN.com but did not get a chance to address it until now. One of the main headlines on the site’s front page was that the Red Sox were prepared to let closer Jonathan Papelbon go if they were able to sign …
Last week, we found ourselves wondering what the Red Sox plan on doing with their closer after the 2010 season. Jonathan Papelbon has blown a career-high six saves this season and is under team control through next season. Should they trade him? I …
Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon blew his sixth save of the season Thursday afternoon against the Blue Jays. Six blown saves ties a career high for the right-hander with a whopping 46 games left in the season. Blown saves always hurt, but …
