Daily Red Sox Links: Mookie Betts, Bryce Harper, Nathan Eovaldi
In today’s links, we look at the past, present and future for Mookie Betts. Plus a look at Bryce Harper’s non-existent chance at being a Red Sox and an impending big pay day for Nathan Eovaldi. Mookie Betts had an MVP caliber season and he very well could collect the hardware to prove it. That won’t change him to the people that matter most. (Jen McCaffrey; The Athletic) ($$) But its mid-November. Some people want to know what’s going to happen next year with all the MVP candidates. (Craig Edwards; ESPN) Bryce Harper wasn’t one of those MVP candidates but he is still getting a lot...

J.D Martinez, J.D. Martinez and Mookie Betts win Silver Slugger awards
That’s not a typo Award season continued on Thursday night, with MLB handing out their Silver Slugger awards to the best hitters at every position in each league. Among the major awards, perhaps only the Hank Aaron award has less prestige, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an honor. This time around, something truly amazing has happened and we have yet another reason to be amazed at a fact regarding the 2018 Red Sox. For the first time in the 39-year history of this award, a player won two in one season. That player was J.D. Martinez, who not only took home the DH award but also was one...

Daily Red Sox Links: Mookie Betts, Nathan Eovaldi, J.D. Martinez
In today’s links, Mookie Betts becomes a dad, Nathan Eovaldi wants back in and Scott Boras is not happy J.D. Martinez isn’t getting MVP love. Mookie Betts is now a dad. He’ll have plenty of sources for advice in baseball, especially on his own team. (Chad Jennings; The Athletic) ($$) Nathan Eovaldi isn’t relishing the idea of leaving Boston. If it comes to that. (Ricky Doyle; NESN) J.D. Martinez should be an MVP candidate. Just ask his agent, Scott Boras. (Bill Baer; NBC Sports) Saves are old hat. The Red Sox should embrace that philosophy. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe) Dave...

2018 in Review: Mookie Betts
It was a decent year, tbh Welcome to the Red Sox Review series. It’s a fairly standard feature in which we will review the year that was for every player who made a decently large impact on the Red Sox this year. How do I come up with that definition? Completely arbitrarily, of course! The list of players I’m using can be seen here, and if I am missing anyone please let me know in the comments. Anyway, for the players who are included we will wrap up their season in a sentence, look at the positives of their 2018, the negatives, review their One Big Question from the preseason and look...

TuesdoLinks: TroHtani-istic
Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani bask in award attention We are officially full swing into post-season award season. We might not even notice that the GM’s are playing golf down in San Diego. And that’s OK, because GM meets are merely a Table Of Contents to the Winter Meets anyway. Something I didn’t get too much into yesterday was all the chatter about how the Red Sox were one of the 2 teams to snag 3 Gold Gloves in 2018 (along with the Braves, here and here as examples). The Red Sox got their 3 GG’s due to awards to Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley, Jr., and...um...Ian Kinsler. Kinsler...

Mookie Betts and Alex Cora named awards finalists
The Red Sox are well-represented in award season On Monday, the BBWAA announced the three finalists for each of their four major awards: Manager of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Cy Young and MVP.

The had a finalist in two of the four awards, with Rookie of the Year and Cy Young being the races that did not have a Boston player among the top three vote-getters. Here are the two who were finalists. Alex Cora...
