Heading into the final week of the regular season, the Boston Red Sox have catapulted themselves into the driver’s seat of the American League Wild Card race. Coming into play on Friday, the Red Sox are riding a seven-game win streak and lead the Yankees by two games for the first Wild Card spot. The Yankees come into Boston after sweeping the Rangers, looking to play catch up to the Red Sox. While this is undoubtedly the most important series of the season thus far, there are other storylines that hover over the Red Sox roster as they push towards the postseason.

After a tough loss last night, the Red Sox closed out another series against the Twins with a 12-2 win on Thursday night. This makes 2 consecutive series wins in a row, before a long seven games in seven days stretch.

Following a disappointing MLB Trade Deadline for the Red Sox, the team has begun to slide and show signs of a collapse. It’s officially time to hit the panic button on this team’s title hopes.

The MLB trade deadline has come and gone and Red Sox fans are just a little frustrated. In the days leading up to Friday afternoon, the people of Boston were awestruck by rumors that linked the likes of Max Scherzer and Anthony Rizzo to the Red Sox. Unfortunately, they came away with neither. Scherzer went

Give or take a few games here or there for various teams around Major League Baseball, we’re approximately one-third of the way through the MLB season!

It’s time to hand out some grades for the first trimester to some of the key players this season. Here are the 14 individuals I deemed worth grading on their performances so far:

After a stellar start to the season, the Red Sox are ever so slightly coming back down to earth. As recently as May 15th, Boston boasted the best record in baseball. Now, in just a little over two weeks, the Red Sox have dropped to 5th in the MLB and 2nd in the AL East (2.0 games back of the Rays) after posting a 7-6 record over their last 13 games.

With losses during the wrap-up game at Camden Yards to the O’s along with the first two at home to the A’s, the Red Sox knew they had to bounce back.

It’s very early in the 2021 season, but the Red Sox found a gem in the Rule 5 Draft. After a disappointing 2020 season that left the roster full of journeymen, Chaim Bloom had the flexibility to take calculated risks on players that could develop into mainstays. Enter Garrett Whitlock. The former New York Yankees prospect was selected and has been nothing short of spectacular since joining the club.

The first of four games between the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins has been postponed in the aftermath of a police-involved shooting that took the life of a 20 year-old Black man outside of Minneapolis last night. The Twins statement says that they have “decided in the best interest of [our] fans, staff, players and community not to play today’s game.” The full statement can be seen below. The remainder of the Red Sox-Twins series is in question and more information should become available as the situation evolves.
