It's probably safe to say that the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox don't particularly care for one another. It's probably also safe to say that their respective fans bases don't either.

One MLB executive says the Red Sox are "trying to dump him (Beckett)." So what's the holdup? Let's examine.

A lot of Chicago White Sox fans are really excited about the recent trade their team made, acquiring Kevin Youkilis from the Boston Red Sox, in exchange for utility man Brent Lillibridge and reliever Zach Stewart, but this young fellow isn't one of them.

Normally, at this time of the year, the Boston Red Sox are trading for veteran talent. This year, the fourth-place Red Sox are sending a veteran player to a team in the playoff race.

Former Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona spoke with Boston sports radio station WEEI on Wednesday, his first public comments since he parted ways with the team last week. Francona, who guided the Red Sox to World Series victories in 2004 and 2007, said that after the team’s historic late-season skid he chose to leave.

Want to own a part of baseball history? The ball that went through Bill Buckner’s legs in game six of the 1986 world Series will hit eBay on October 15, and the auction will close 10 days later at the exact minute of the 25th anniversary of Buckner’s error. Bidding starts at a cool $1 million.

On the heels of Red Sox manager Terry Francona being let go this morning, David Letterman’s “Top Ten Things Overheard in the Red Sox Clubhouse” will be seriously painful to Red Sox fans (but funny for everyone else).

Terry Francona, who led the Boston Red Sox to two World Series titles, and five playoff appearances, likely won't be back as the team's manager in 2012. The Red Sox failed to make the playoffs, after  blowing a nine-game game lead in the American League wild-card race, the biggest ever held by a team in September that failed to make the playoffs.
