With J.D. Martinez posting a slash line of .306/.388/.543 with an OPS+ of 143 before Wednesday’s action, we are getting even more evidence than we need that he sure can hit. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

Speaking of Tuesday’s collapse, Matt Barnes can’t be the only guy who can get outs in the bullpen. (Chris Cotillo; MassLive)

For now, that’s the plan and Alex Cora is sticking to it. (Ryan Hannable; WEEI)

Terry Francona hasn’t been with the Red Sox for quite some time, but he may play a role with members of the organization very soon. (Chris Cotillo; MassLive)
