Carlos Correa put Houston on top with a three-run homer and Christian Vázquez added a solo shot to lead the Astros to a 6-4 win over the Boston Red Sox to complete a three-game sweep.

The Red Sox fan base is rightfully annoyed. America is pissed off too. Shohei Ohtani, who does not need any more help, just got a free endorsement from the quarterback of one of the most visible franchises in American sports. Get this man a Team USA jersey next time. It is not complicated.

Boston acquired Willson "Don't Forget The Second L" Contreras in late December from the St. Louis Cardinals, in exchange for SP Hunter Dobbins and pitching prospects Yhoiker Fajardo and Blake Aita. A catcher for the first nine years of his career with the Cubs and Cardinals, Contreras shifted to first base a year ago, playing 120 games at the position to go with 15 at designated hitter.

At this point, I think the ramp-up would be a little too quick and it'd be a disservice I feel like to myself and the team if I'm not ready to roll and have a good build up.

Just trying to win this league [Grapefruit League] so I just felt that's a good way to set it up,

"It's insane. It just doesn't make a ton of sense,"

As part of Major League Baseball's return to the 2023 jersey template, we approved a design for our home white jerseys, which Fanatics produced exactly to our specs. Once they were produced and seen in person, we felt there should be more spacing between the lettering and piping,

Not everyone might feel the same, but I absolutely love this offseason from Craig Breslow and his staff. Remember, the Red Sox now operate under a budget. Breslow can't light money on fire the way the Red Sox did during the late 2010s under Dave Dombrowski. No, they didn't re-sign Bregman, but the trade for Durbin gives them a player who projects to just one less win in value than Bregman -- a younger, faster, high-contact hitter making $30 million in salary.

After last year's ALCS, Toronto Blue Jays fans have probably seen enough of Eugenio Suárez for a while. Luckily, despite possessing a gigantic need at third base after letting Alex Bregman walk in free agency, the Boston Red Sox simply... didn't make an offer to Suárez, instead watching him sign an eminently reasonable one-year deal with the Cincinnati Reds instead.
