4/24/25 | Red Sox Urged To Make Difficult Roster Decision Involving Infielder. The Boston Red Sox have have had an up-and-down start to the 2025 Major League Baseball season, but there has been more good than bad for sure. One guy who has been a part of this is infielder David Hamilton. Because of this, FanSided's Devon Platana suggested that Boston should send him down to the minors in favor of Vaughn Grissom or Nick Sogard. "If that isn't disappointing enough, Hamilton is striking out on a career-worst 27.6 percent of plate appearances (MLB average is 22.6 percent) while his average exit velocity (83.6 mph) is also noticeably below last year's effort (83.6)," Platana said.

4/13/25 | Red Sox could part ways with second baseman to land bullpen help from Mariners. The Boston Red Sox could be on the hunt for relievers at the trade deadline.

9/11/24 | Many Such Casas. So. The Red Sox' lead over the other AL Wild Card competitors has diminished.

The Red Sox, this year, have been one of the best okay teams in the bigs. At no point this year did they have any shot at first...but they were never a shoo-in for last either. They seemed to get over debilitating injuries fine, having David Hamilton and Dominic Smith cover for Trevor Story and Triston Casas, then got 'em both back by September.
