Carlos Narváez named starting catcher, ‘would love to be a Red Sox forever’ Carlos Narváez, named starting catcher, says he ‘would love to be a Red Sox forever. I would like to retire with this team.’

“I would love to be a Red Sox forever. I would like to retire with this team.”

In the last year, Carlos Narváez has gone from rookie ex-Yankees backup catcher to being named Red Sox starting catcher by manager Alex Cora.

Cora says Story made contract decision ‘5 minutes’ after postseason ended Alex Cora says veteran Red Sox leader made contract decision ‘five minutes after the last out’ of the 2025 Red Sox’s short postseason run.

Alex Cora and Trevor Story remember their post-playoff elimination talk about his contract a bit differently, but the point remains the same:

When faced with an opportunity to cash in his comeback season for longer-term contract security, Story chose to stay:

Alex Cora said Trevor Story had his opt-in decision ready during the postseason.

"That was right away. We had that conversation five minutes after the last out in New York. He came into the office, he's like, 'I'm in. I ain't going nowhere.'"

Starr: In failing to re-sign Bregman, Red Sox outdo themselves in worst way In failing to re-sign Alex Bregman, the Boston Red Sox have outdone themselves in worst way.

In the ‘Groundhog Day’-esque nightmare that never ends, the Red Sox are up a creek without a paddle, vessel, or excuse, having lost out on a top – and very sign-able – free-agent target once again.

But this time, it's somehow even worse.

After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

Crochet bests Fried in pitcher’s duel, Red Sox snatch Game 1 from Yankees A pair of stunning pitching performances by Garrett Crochet and Aroldis Chapman give the Red Sox a Game 1 win over the Yankees in the Wild Card round.

On Monday, Garrett Crochet told Alex Cora exactly how his Game 1 performance would go.

“He’s like, ‘Tomorrow you’re going to make one call to the bullpen.’ I said, ‘Maybe two.’ He’s like, ‘No, no, no, one. It’s going to be straight to Chappy.’"

Cora pumps brakes amidst Red Sox skid: ‘We should stop talking October’ With his team’s season at a crossroads, Red Sox manager Alex Cora wants to pump the brakes on postseason talk.

More on this, including #RedSox injury updates: www.bostonherald.com/2025/09/13/r...

A frank, but kind of ominous quote from #RedSox Alex Cora today:

“I think we should stop talking October, to be honest with you. There's a lot of stuff going on and we have to play better. I'm not saying we're in a bad spot, but I think we have to wait, you know, to see if October is part of this.”

Trea Turner's 2023 season with the Phillies was the first.
