Whatever the Boston Red Sox need or want, the Boston Red Sox seem to get these days. As a result, that’s prompted one prominent baseball writer with Hall of Fame credentials and Boston connections to anoint the Red Sox as baseball’s new “Evil Empire.” During an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show last week, Peter Gammons, currently of MLB Network, suggested the Red Sox now represent everything they used to…

A starter and a closer last year, along with some spare parts. An ace and a top reliever this year. Look what Dave Dombrowski has done … to the Boston Red Sox once-vaunted minor league system. To obtain the players he wants, like White Sox left-hander Chris Sale this past week, Dombrowski has given away prospects like candy canes. He has gutted the farm so much that it could be…

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court seems to agree with Kevin Costner that there’s no better place to play baseball than on fields cut out of the corn.

Thursday marked the end of MLB’s Winter Meetings, when each team’s top brass converge on a hotel and jam pack a bunch of offseason trades into one week.  For baseball fans, it’s heaven, the first major MLB event since the World Series. But it also tends to be heavy on conjecture and rumor — a lot of “X team talking to X players about a deal.” If you’re not a…
