9/15/24 Red Sox' Masataka Yoshida gets rare start vs. LHP after BBQ dinner with Alex Cora. Since acquiring Danny Jansen at the trade deadline for a different look against left-handed starters, the Red Sox haven't let Masataka Yoshida play much against left-handed hitters. Yoshida will bat sixth as the designated hitter as the Red Sox try to split a four-game series in the Bronx and remain in the wild card race. Another reason why Yoshida is starting?

9/04/24 Underwhelming Red Sox Hitter Surprisingly Predicted To Break Out In September. The current offensive drought plaguing the Boston Red Sox is well-documented at this point. As the Red Sox have plummeted from playoff contention, the lineup has gone silent. Superstars and role players alike have stopped driving the baseball, as Boston has lost eight of its last 11 games, including four in a row entering Wednesday night. One culprit in the case of the missing offense, fair or unfair, is catcher Danny Jansen, who the Red Sox acquired from the division rival Toronto Blue Jays at the trade deadline.

9/02/24 Danny Jansen yet to provide power lift Red Sox expected when acquiring him from Blue Jays. The Red Sox acquired Danny Jansen from the Blue Jays, in part, because the club believed his pull-side power would work well at Fenway. Entering Monday, the Red Sox had hit .220/.288/.385 in their last 24 games, going 9-15. How do the Sox plan on getting out of that funk? “Like I always said, you got to chase good at-bats,” said Cora.

8/19/24 Danny Jansen could make MLB history when Red Sox-Blue Jays game resumes: 'Going to be nuts'. A bit of MLB history could be in play next Monday when the Red Sox and Blue complete a game that started on June 26 and had to be suspended due to the weather. While a game having to restart due to the weather is nothing earth-shattering, the possibility that Danny Jansen could end up in the box score for both teams would be a first at the major league level. Jansen had originally been catching for the Blue Jays and at bat when rain forced the suspension of play between the Sox and Jays at Fenway nearly two months ago. While a date was set to complete the game, Jenson was dealt to the Red Sox at the trade deadline late last month creating the possibility of a rare occurrence next week when the

8/15/24 Red Sox catcher was shocked by DFA at MLB trade deadline. At this year's MLB trade deadline, the Boston Red Sox made a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays to bring in catcher Danny Jansen, and with two catchers already on the roster, they had to move on from one. Boston opted to keep Connor Wong and designate Reese McGuire for assignment, which was a shock to the latter. McGuire has hit .264 with a .686 OPS, seven home runs and 46 RBIs during his three seasons with the Red Sox. “It's tough because I feel like I belong in the big leagues and this one did hurt me a lot,” McGuire said.
