2026 Red Sox thread

In 2004, Terry Francona achieved a career-defining moment when he managed the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title since 1918, effectively ending the infamous 'Curse of the Bambino.' Under his leadership, the team staged an unprecedented comeback against the New York Yankees in the ALCS after being down three games to none, eventually sweeping the St.
Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
This victory was not only a monumental achievement for Francona but also a historic moment for Red Sox fans who had waited generations to see their team crowned champions again.

Good that Hicks is gone. I just hope the dump cost doesn't end up being too high.


Edit: They had to swallow a fair chunk of money, which will count over 2 seasons, and had to trade the better prospect.



So.... No bueno, but at least it's just a low level error admission.

Remembering the hit man Mike Easler.

In 6 years Mike ranged from 7-54 at bats.
😲
He didn't get a job until he was 29 in 1980 for the Pirates, that year he hit .338 with 21 Home Runs. He made the All-Star team in 1981 and was traded to Boston for left-handed pitcher John Tudor after hitting .307 in his final year in Pittsburgh. With a STACKED team that featured Righty super sluggers like Rice, Evans and Armas... Easler, Gedman and Boggs gave the team much balance. In 1984 Easler had a 27hr, 91rbi, .313avg line with 188 hits and 31 doubles
🤯
Easler would go on to play one more season with the Sox as they brought in dangerous Don Baylor for their 1986 World Series run. Easler would go on to the dreaded and hated Yankmees and then to Philly and back to the spanks before calling it quits in 1987. As a hitting instructor Mike Easler was known for teaching Mo Vaughn and perfecting his launch angle power swing. Mo became MVP in 1995.
