2025 Red Sox and MLB Thread

Still need another RH Power bat... and now another starting pitcher... So, no.


They finally made offseason moves that should make a positive difference. That's cause for good thoughts. I didn't say you should be wanking it all over the place....



And, really, the smart play would be to find takers for the outfielder who they no longer let play in the outfield, and the shortstop who can't hit outside of Colorado. But at least we've got baby steps this year.
 
Timothy Stephen Wakefield (August 2, 1966 – October 1, 2023) began his Major League Baseball career with the Pittsburgh Pirates-but is most remembered for his 17-year tenure with the Boston Red Sox, from 1995 until his retirement in 2012 as the longest-serving player on the team-When he retired at age 45 after 19 seasons -Wakefield was the oldest active player in the major leagues. Wakefield won his 200th career game on September 13, 2011, and he ranks third in career wins in Red Sox franchise history behind Cy Young and Roger Clemens.He is second in all-time wins at Fenway Park with 97, behind Clemens's 100, and is the all-time leader in innings pitched by a Red Sox pitcher, with 3,006-having surpassed Clemens's total of 2,777 on June 8, 2010.
