Fri Jun 25 202120:20Former Red Sox star Dustin Pedroia gets final Fenway salute
BOSTON (AP) — Dustin Pedroia returned to Fenway Park on Friday, this time to be showered with appreciation from fans and a collection of Red Sox royalty for the 17-year career that cemented his place as one of the Boston's most-beloved players. The Red Sox’s undersized big man was honored by the team prior to its latest matchup with the rival New York Yankees, a fitting tribute to a player who at the time he announced his retirement in February was the longest-tenured player on Boston’s roster and the only holdover from its 2007 championship team. With his family looking on, a pregame ceremony began with a jersey-clad Pedroia walking out of the outfield tunnel through smoke and a flash of pyrotechnics as video boards displayed “DUSTIN” and “15” in the outfield. Pedroia wiped away tears while recorded messages from several coaches and teammates were played. The list included his former coach at Arizona State Pat Murphy, Kevin Cash, David Ross, former Red Sox manager Terry Francona and David... [More]
Tue Apr 6 202120:32Red Sox unveil blue-and-yellow uniforms before Patriots' Day
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox will have a new look on Patriots’ Day weekend. They’ll honor the Boston Marathon and the city by wearing blue-and-yellow uniforms, the colors that stretch across the finish line of the famous race. Boston will be the first of seven major league teams to wear new uniforms to honor the city they represent. The team will break them out — with no red — on April 17-18 when they host the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park. The Red Sox unveiled the upcoming look Tuesday on Twitter. “Very good. I think some of the people are going to like it, some others won’t like it,” Red Sox manager said Alex Cora before the game against Tampa Bay. "If you look around the other leagues, they’re proactive, marketing not only the teams but their players. “If you look at the NBA, it seems like they have a uniform for, you have one for every day. I’m all for it. I think this league has been lacking pushing their players out there and marketing them,” he said. The jerseys will be yellow... [More]
Sat Mar 13 202117:09Boston's Franchy Cordero faces another health setback: COVID
Franchy Cordero is a proud member of the Big Papi generation, growing up in the Dominican Republic watching Dominican stars like David Ortiz lead the Red Sox to the 2004 World Series title. “Those are the games that were always on: Boston Red Sox games,” Cordero told reporters in a video call from spring training Saturday. “I grew up a big David Ortiz fan. Manny Ramirez, Pedro Martinez, even J.D. Drew — those are guys I really liked watching when I was a kid. It was always fun to be able to see all the championships that were won in my youth.” So when Cordero was traded to Boston this winter, any disappointment he might have had about relocating were erased by the thrill of joining his favorite team. “I’m really excited about the opportunity that I have here,” said Cordero, who was in a deal that sent Andrew Benintendi to the Kansas City Royals. “Actually being able to put on this uniform and being able to play on that field is a dream come true." A 6-foot-3, 220-pound outfielder who says... [More]
Mon Feb 1 202115:44Red Sox 2B, 2008 AL MVP Dustin Pedroia retires
BOSTON (AP) — Dustin Pedroia, the undersized and over-achieving second baseman who spurred the Boston Red Sox to a pair of World Series victories with his grit and a third, after a knee injury effectively ended his career, with his mouth, has retired. Pedroia, 37, was the AL Rookie of the Year in 2007 and the MVP in his second season but has played in only nine games in three seasons since since a spikes-high slide by then-Orioles shortstop Manny Machado took out his knee in 2017. He was the longest-tenured player on the Red Sox roster and the only holdover from the 2007 championship team. “I never took one play off, from Little League on,” Pedroia said on a videoconference with reporters on Monday after acknowledging he would not be able to return, despite six surgeries that included a pandemic-delayed partial knee replacement in December. "At some point, you can’t play anymore. And this is the time.” A four-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove winner, Pedroia batted .299 with 140 homers... [More]

BOSTON (AP) — Dustin Pedroia, the undersized and over-achieving second baseman who spurred the Boston Red Sox to a pair of World Series victories with his grit and a third, after a knee injury effectively ended his career, with his mouth, has retired. “I never took one play off, from Little League on,” Pedroia said on a videoconference with reporters on Monday. “I hope I did enough and set the right example in the city of Boston.” Pedroia, 37, was the AL Rookie of the Year in 2007 and the MVP in his second season but played in a total of nine games in the last three years because of the 2017 injury from a spikes-high slide by then-Orioles shortstop Manny Machado. He was the longest-tenured player on the Red Sox roster and the only holdover from the 2007 championship team. “He was the ultimate team player,” said Terry Francona, the current Cleveland manager and Pedroia’s manager and cribbage opponent for six seasons. “He always seemed to save his very best plays for the most important time...

He seemed to will himself at times to lead us to victory. It is impossible to spend any amount of time with him and not become close to him. He just has that type of personality.”... [More]
Tue Jan 26 202121:51Baseball Hall gets no new members; Schilling 16 votes shy
NEW YORK (AP) — The baseball Hall of Fame won’t have any new players in the class of 2021 after voters decided no one had the merits — on the field or off — for enshrinement in Cooperstown. Curt Schilling, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were the closest in voting by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America released Tuesday, and the trio will have one more chance at election next year. It's the first time the BBWAA didn't choose anyone since 2013. Schilling, a right-handed ace who won three World Series titles, finished 16 votes short of the 75% threshold necessary for enshrinement. He got 71.1% percent this time after coming up 20 votes shy at 70% last year. Schilling's on-field accomplishments face little dispute, but he has ostracized himself in retirement by directing hateful remarks toward Muslims, transgender people, journalists and others. “It’s all right, the game doesn’t owe me anything,” Schilling said during a live video stream on his Twitter account. He later wrote... [More]
