7/29/25 | Red Sox 'embracing all the adversity' by turning harrowing flight into creative celebration. It took about 48 hours, but the Red Sox are finally able to laugh about — and even celebrate — their harrowing flight to Minneapolis on Sunday night. Two days after the team charter encountered sustained, severe turbulence both before and after an unplanned pit stop in Detroit, players turned the experience into a new on-base celebration at Target Field. Throughout Tuesday's 8-5 win, multiple players, from Ceddanne Rafaela to Wilyer Abreu, celebrated hits by pantomiming a plane with its wings going up and down. Boston's charter, which left Logan Airport shortly after Sunday's win over the Dodgers, encountered severe weather in the Midwest that left several members of the traveling party reeling due to motion sickness for more than a day.

7/25/25 | Blockbuster Red Sox, Marlins, Padres trade would swap Jarren Duran for $63M pitcher. The Boston Red Sox have clear needs to address at the trade deadline, one of them being the lack of consistency in the starting rotation. Duran was an All-Star last season, but his numbers have declined this year, and he is now expendable thanks to Raman Anthony's call-up. Between Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu, Duran has the most reason to be traded. Anthony is not going anywhere; Rafaela has already signed an extension, and Abreu is younger and has more control than Duran. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/boston-red-sox... |
7/24/25 | How has the Red Sox' Ceddanne Rafaela become one of the best defensive outfielders in all of baseball?. “I was taught to do it that way coming up,” Rafaela said. The result is a pre-pitch approach that is highly unconventional for an outfielder, but is the foundation of Rafaela's elite defense. Per MLB's Statcast, Rafaela's 13 Outs Above Average leads all American League center fielders and is tied for sixth among all position players, making him a candidate to win a Gold Glove in his second full big league season. “He's an infielder at heart,” said Kyle Hudson, the Red Sox' third base coach and outfield instructor.

7/19/25 | Well Ced. The Boston Red Sox are shooting upward in a way where I can't even be that mad at them. The Sox had a straight run of 10 games from July 4th to the 13th and they won all ten of them, including a dramatic walk-off by team MVP Ceddanne Rafaela. The Red Sox are a perfect testament to how to slowly build a youth core, because the pieces have been hiding in plain sight. Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela have been slowly becoming more prevalent in this lineup, to the point where they're not indispensable.

7/11/25 | Red Sox Player Snubbed Again With All-Star Replacement Selection. The American League squandered an opportunity to rectify an All-Star Game oversight. Julio Rodriguez made the AL All-Star roster over Boston Red Sox outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela, who's having a superior season offensively and defensively. The two-time Silver Slugger opted out of his third All-Star appearance in four years, opening the door for Rafaela. Instead, Rafaela got overlooked again. MLB announced Friday that Randy Arozarena will replace his Seattle Mariners teammate. Rodriguez received an All-Star nod on name recognition despite batting .244 with 11 home runs and a career-low .687 OPS. Rafaela, on the other hand, is hitting .268/.312/.467 with 12 long balls and the most defensive runs Source: https://nesn.com/2025/07/red-sox-player-snubbed-ag... |
