I’m not Lyon, Lyon’s Back and He’s Bringing Jeff Suppan
Reports on WEEI and from Major League Baseball have Brandon Lyon, Anastacio Martinez, and Jeff Suppan coming to the Red Sox for Freddy Sanchez and Mike Gonzalez. When you look at the big picture, the deal ends up being Freddy Sanchez to the Pirates for […]

Red Sox Release Chad Fox
After the Scott Willliamson deal last night I posed the following question:
“What this means for Casey Fossum, who was recently demoted to Pawtucket supposedly to stretch him out with the expectation that he may rejoin the starting rotation this season, is up in the air. When Williamson arrives, he will be […]

More on the Williamson Deal
Theo’s move to bring in Scott Williamson has been a hit on Baseball Tonight, local sports radio, and with the traditionally sour Boston print media. For an easy to read recap of the Boston Sports Media scene be sure to head over to Bruce Allen’s Boston Sports Media Watch daily. […]

Sox Acquire Scott Williamson
Theo Epstein is at it again dealing for Cincinnati Reds closer Scott Williamson for a 22 year old left handed pitcher Phil Dumatrait, a player to be named later, and cash. Williamson, 27 years old, makes $1.6 million this year and will be a free agent after the 2004 season. […]

“The […]

All The Right Moves?
Grady Little made all the right moves yesterday as the Red Sox rebounded in the bottom of the ninth after blowing a 4-0 lead vs. the New York Yankees to cut the division race to 2 1/2 games. Or did he?
More and more in a game with so much […]

Hard To Swallow
Last night’s loss to the Bronx Bombers had all the feel of a late September classic. As Larry Manhken described it at Replacement Level Yankees, “If there has been a better game played this season, I do not recall it. The fact that it was Yankees/Red Sox, and a battle for first […]

Pirates Protest
The word on WEEI today is that upon arrival in Pittsburgh, Brandon Lyon was given an MRI (standard proceedure) and the results showed a fray on his pitching elbow.
