Kevin Thomas does not always write about baseball. It just seems that way, starting with his early days covering spring training for the St. Petersburg Times, to his current role of bi-locating at both Hadlock Field and Fenway Park, reporting on the Portland Sea Dogs and Boston Red Sox.

On Baseball: Trade balance put Red Sox on right path
Happy Anniversary. One year ago, the Boston Red Sox looked in the mirror and said to themselves, “this isn’t working.” Addicted to too many long-term contracts and free-agent gambles, the Red Sox jettisoned three high-priced players and a utility infielder to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a mega-trade that signaled bold directions for both teams.
