Bring back third baseman Alex Bregman, add another middle-of-the-order bat, ideally at first base, and trade away an outfielder. Well, as spring training fast approaches, they've kept a...5828Mon, 02 Feb 2026 11:54:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/talk-sox/red-sox-end-brief-jordan-hicks-era-swallowing-some-medicine-pride-along-the-way-r5825/For the second offseason in a row, the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox have made a trade involving a flamethrowing pitcher. Only this time, it's the Red Sox who are subtracting from their roster, sending Jordan Hicks and prospect David Sandlin (plus two PTBNL) to the South Side of the Windy...5825Sun, 01 Feb 2026 21:17:00 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/talk-sox/want-to-be-a-youtube-baseball-analyst-talk-sox-will-pay-you-for-it-r5820/The 2026 MLB season is right around the corner, and we're looking to expand our video coverage.

Their solution might already be on the roster. Catchers are a stalwart presence behind the plate. When I think of catchers, players with sturdier builds — Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk, and Jaso...5810Sat, 31 Jan 2026 16:39:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/talk-sox/eugenio-suarez-would-change-everything-for-the-red-sox-r5803/While the Red Sox have been playing third base roulette the last year, signing Eugenio Suarez could be the jackpot signing.

He hasn't been mentioned in many (if any) trade rumors, and it'd be a miracle to pry him loose from the Cleveland Guardians. But can you blame me for having to dig a little deeper here?
