Red Sox News

The Boston Red Sox hit a rough patch, suffering their fifth straight loss after a promising stretch that had fans dreaming big. Falling to the Toronto Blue Jays 3-5, the Sox are now 64-55 and desperately need to regain momentum as they sit third in the division. The team’s recent struggles come despite a solid run differential of +9 this week, hinting at potential but lacking the execution to capitalize. Meanwhile, the front office remains active, pushing hard for Elly De La Cruz but ultimately failing to close the deal. As the trade deadline looms, Boston’s roster adjustments continue, with Seth Martinez being designated for assignment to make room for Alec Gamboa. The hope is that new faces, like Erik Miller, can inject some much-needed life into the bullpen and help the team find its footing again.

Erik Miller could be a weapon in the Red Sox Bullpen

Erik Miller was acquired in exchange for Marcelo Mayer to bolster the Red Sox bullpen. He’s exactly Craig Breslow’s type: 6’5” and left-handed. He has above-average extension at almost seven feet. He even has the same defect as many Red Sox reliever acquisitions: he struggles to find the zone at times. Against right-handed hitters in […]
