Chris Sale is ready to do whatever it takes to help the Red Sox.
"If they want be to be an opener for two innings, I'm in. If they want me to stretch to six innings, deal. If they want me to come out of the bullpen, I'm in."

Masataka Yoshida gets to meet his favorite player Bryce Harper tonight.
Yoshida named his dog after Harper and also wore 34 because of him in Japan.
Should be a really cool moment.
Garrett Whitlock on whether he’d be willing to return in a relief role for the Red Sox:
“I’ll be the freaking janitor. It really doesn’t matter. Whatever the team needs.”
16 years ago.
Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek went back-to-back-to-back-to-back against the Yankees. 4 consecutive homers.
Fenway Park absolutely erupted.
Thanks for the memories, Chris Sale.
Shame that injuries ruined the extension years, but we’ll always have the final out of 2018.
His run in 2017 is still one of the most dominant stretches I’ve ever seen from a pitcher.
Shohei Ohtani on his latest Fenway Park experience:
“It’s one of my favorite parks, so I always look forward to pitching here. But the conditions didn’t allow me to have fun fully. Other than that I always look forward to pitching here."
It’s time. We have no choice.
Teams calling about Justin Turner have been told that the Red Sox aren’t dealing him, per
@bradfo
.
He’s at the roots of everything the Red Sox have done offensively this year. Not to mention, the leader in that clubhouse.
They’ve earned a chance to compete down the stretch.
Chris Sale brought Manny Machado to a knee and the Red Sox won the 2018 World Series on this date 5 years ago.
108 regular season wins. 119 total after beating the Yankees, Astros, and Dodgers.
Steve Pearce, World Series MVP.
Greatest Red Sox team ever.
Alex Cora and several other members of the Red Sox will be at TD Garden for Game 7 tonight, per
@alexspeier
.
“I tell these guys from the get-go that you have to enjoy the whole experience. This city is different [when it comes to sports], with all due respect to the other ones.”
Alex Cora pulls Justin Turner from the game so the Fenway Faithful can give him his flowers.
He was worth every penny this season. On and off the field.
Hell of a year considering what he went through in spring training.
Don Orsillo on his Jerry Remy patch:
“A friend of mine with the (Red Sox) organization sent me the patch that the players wore last year… I have the patch, the 2, in my closet where I get dressed before I go to do games. It’s just kind of a reminder of everything he taught me…
It’s officially been 5 years since Nate Eovaldi’s heroic performance in Game 3 of the 2018 World Series.
Rick Porcello was brought to tears, calling it “the most incredible pitching performance I've ever seen.”
Even in a loss, the Red Sox still won.
Jarren Duran is the hottest man on the planet.
3-for-4. Triple shy of the cycle. That’s his 27th double of the season, which leads the Red Sox.
Now batting .320 with an .889 OPS. 6th 3-hit game this season.
One of the most embarrassing clips in recent memory for the Red Sox.
Your franchise player, Rafael Devers, saying everyone knows what this team needs to compete.
Shameful.
RIP to Tim Wakefield. Prayers for his family and friends. 🙏🏻
He was champion on and off the field, that gave everything to this organization and the community.
Seeing the support that came out for him the last few days tells you everything you need to know. F**k cancer forever.
Masataka Yoshida finally met Bryce Harper (his favorite player) today.
Harper ended up giving him two autographed bats, with one being from the NLCS last season. Also some cleats.
Classy move.

Red Sox have agreed to a 6-year, $55 MM extension with Brayan Bello, per
@kileymcd
.
It includes a club option for a 7th year worth $21 MM.
The Red Sox lock up their first homegrown starter in quite some time.

15 years ago, the

Kenley Jansen just struck out Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and Hunter Renfroe in the 9th.
That’s his 3rd save of the season.
Red Sox with a massive win after getting swept by the Rays. Needed this type of response tonight.
Kiké Hernández on Duke Castiglione questioning whether he has the résumé to lead the Red Sox:
“I’ve been around… I’ve been in 7 postseasons and I’ve performed when it matters the most. If that isn’t good enough, he should probably cover the weather instead of sports.”
Shohei Ohtani and the Red Sox continue to be linked. This time it’s from
@JonHeyman
:
“Shohei Ohtani and the Red Sox are starting to be linked more and more. One executive with an interested team said he believes they are a real threat.”
He also mentions the New Balance…
It’s now been 17 years since the Red Sox hit 4 consecutive homers off Chase Wright and the Yankees.
Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek. Back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
Fenway Park went absolutely BONKERS.
Nate Eovaldi has cemented himself as one of the best playoff arms of his generation:
13 Games (8 GS)
6-3 W/L
56.2 IP
2.70 ERA/2.32 FIP
8.9 K/9
1.3 BB/9
0.5 HR/9
.209 BAA
Absolute dog when the lights are the brightest.
Enjoy the full play-by-play of Kevin Millar calling this 3-run homer by Adam Duvall.
I don't think anything else is going to top that in the
@NESN
booth this season.
Andrew Benintendi makes one of the clutchest grabs in baseball history to bail out Craig Kimbrel and put the Red Sox up 3-1 in the ALCS.
October 17th, 2018.
Craig Breslow dropping some heat in his introductory presser:
“I understand that some of you will see me as another nerd with a baseball front office job, it’s true. I’m that. But I’m also a 13 year big leaguer and 2013 Boston Red Sox World Series Champion.”
Love it.
Xander Bogaerts said he was more proud of this relay than the HR he hit off Gerrit Cole earlier that night!
Fenway was ROCKING after Judge was tagged out. 🗣🗣🗣
Stanton’s reaction gets me every time 😂

Alex Cora confirms Brayan Bello implemented a new cutter tonight (threw it 9 times, 1 whiff).
Broadcast emphasized how much work he’s been putting in between starts. Bello wants to be great.
So damn impressive to see him pitching like this in his first full season in the bigs.…
Xander Bogaerts has opened the door back up to extension talks during the season:
“I don’t know how this would work. But if they talk to Scott behind closed doors and it’s something that’s fair, he can come to me.” Bogaerts said.
Pay him. Now. No excuse.

Dustin Pedroia’s advice to Jarren Duran during spring training that helped his new mechanics click:
“Put your hands up like you’re ready to fucking hit me.”
Says that Duran reminds him of 2011 Jacoby Ellsbury.
Alex Verdugo’s comments about not getting traded really stood out to me:
“It was just a little bit of a weird time. I like Boston… I wanted to stay here, and I want to continue to play here. So, knowing that I’m staying here, it felt like a restart to the season.”
Not…
10 years ago, Shane Victorino almost put a hole in his chest after this grand slam in Game 6 of the ALCS.
Fenway went BESERK.
Jose Veras never stood a chance.
George Kirby broke out his knuckleball for the first time today.
Interesting timing considering the passing of Tim Wakefield.
Gotta wonder if this was a tribute to him. Kirby has talked about breaking it out all season.
Here’s the video of Jarren Duran shouting out Kikè Hernandez, Alex Verdugo, and Justin Turner for supporting him this season.
Clubhouse has changed in a big way in 2023. Absolutely love it.
Masataka Yoshida’s first half was everything Red Sox fans could’ve dreamed of.
78 Games - 335 PA
.316/.382/.492/.874
10 HR
19 2B
2 3B
44 RBI
36/27 K/BB
134 wRC+
Looking worth every cent of that 5-year, $90 MM deal. Tough look for those anonymous execs. 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly one year ago, Jarren Duran had his infamous moment in the 28-5 loss against the Blue Jays.
Now, he’s cemented himself as a part of the 2023 Red Sox and the core moving forward.
What a difference a year makes.
Thank you for the memories, JBJ.
2018 ALCS MVP and the greatest defensive center fielder in Red Sox history.
Still blows my mind that he only won one Gold Glove (2018).
Congratulations to Mitch Moreland on officially announcing his retirement.
One of my favorite Red Sox players to root for in recent memory.
By the way, this ball still hasn’t landed.
It’s a miracle Dustin Pedroia and Xander Bogaerts didn’t get hurt on this play. All hustle on both ends.
Jerry Remy breaking it all down makes it even better. 🥲

Justin Turner’s message to Red Sox fans after getting lifted from last night’s game:
"Look at tonight, it’s the last game of the season, out of playoff contention, but the house is packed and everyone's into the game and it's just been an absolute pleasure to play in front of…
2 years ago, fans woke up to the Red Sox acquiring Kyle Schwarber from the Nationals for Aldo Ramirez (fleece).
He ended up being a savior for the offense once he got right, slashing .291/.435/.522/.957 with 7 HR in 41 games.
Kyle from Waltham forever.
Happy 40th birthday to Dustin Pedroia.
Nobody played harder and with a bigger chip on their shoulder. Feel lucky that I got to watch his entire career.
3 WS Rings, ‘07 AL ROY, ‘08 AL MVP, 4 Gold Gloves, 4 ASG Appearances, 1 Silver Slugger.
According to
@pgammo
, an NL executive long familiar with Shohei Ohtani believes he could have interest in coming to Boston.
Big reason is his relationship with New Balance CEO Jim Davis.
He views Yoshida as a potential issue because Ohtani needs to DH. For Ohtani… Yoshida can…
RED SOX COMPLETE THE SWEEP AND HAVE WON 6 STRAIGHT!
They are now 3rd in the AL East and hold the 2nd WC.
⚾️ Masataka Yoshida continues to be a freak. 3-for-5 with his 6th homer. 3 RBI.
⚾️ Rafael Devers had himself a big night with his 11th homer. 3-for-5 with 4 RBI. 150…
Rafael Devers out with the crew 👀
Brayan Bello, Pablo Reyes, Triston Casas, and David Hamilton left to right…
Really cool to see Devers bonding with some of the younger guys on the team.
