4/24/25 | Red Sox Urged To Make Difficult Roster Decision Involving Infielder. The Boston Red Sox have have had an up-and-down start to the 2025 Major League Baseball season, but there has been more good than bad for sure. One guy who has been a part of this is infielder David Hamilton. Because of this, FanSided's Devon Platana suggested that Boston should send him down to the minors in favor of Vaughn Grissom or Nick Sogard. "If that isn't disappointing enough, Hamilton is striking out on a career-worst 27.6 percent of plate appearances (MLB average is 22.6 percent) while his average exit velocity (83.6 mph) is also noticeably below last year's effort (83.6)," Platana said.

4/17/25 | Garrett Whitlock Clears Air About 'Terrible' Pitch In Stellar Outing. David Hamilton wasn't the only member of the Red Sox who turned in a much-needed, game-changing performance Wednesday night. Garrett Whitlock was called on by Alex Cora after starter Sean Newcomb and Greg Weissert combined to pitch six scoreless innings. Whitlock was terrific for the visitors, who saw the right-hander throw a pair of clean frames in which he only allowed one hit and struck out four. The dominant outing paved the way for Justin Slaten to notch a save and seal a 1-0 triumph and a series victory. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/04/garrett-whitlock-clears-a... |
4/17/25 | David Hamilton Makes Admission About Game-Winning Home Run. The lone run the Red Sox scored Wednesday night at George M. Steinbrenner Field was unexpected for multiple reasons. The source of the run was unlikely, as David Hamilton only logged one hit through his first nine games this season. “I was hoping it would get down for (a hit) but no, I didn't think it was going over,” Hamilton told reporters, per MassLive. Hamilton's homer was the definition of a frozen rope, as it had an exit velocity of 105.8 mph with a launch angle of only 20 degrees. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/04/david-hamilton-makes-admi... |
4/17/25 | Hamilton homers, bullpen retires 13 of final 14 hitters, and Red Sox beat Rays 1-0. By ZAK GILBERT Associated Press TAMPA (AP) — David Hamilton hit a third-inning home run, four pitchers combined to strike out 13 and the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 on Wednesday night.

The Red Sox rebounded from Monday's 16-1 loss to win the final two games.

4/13/25 | Red Sox could part ways with second baseman to land bullpen help from Mariners. The Boston Red Sox could be on the hunt for relievers at the trade deadline. They could turn one of their infielders into a much-needed bullpen arm. The Red Sox bullpen has a 4.11 ERA so far this season. That is ranked 19th in Major League Baseball. AthlonSports' Sam Bernardi proposed this trade that would land a reliever from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for David Hamilton: Red Sox receive: left-handed pitcher Gabe Speier Mariners receive: second baseman David Hamilton and right-handed pitcher Luis Guerrero "Seattle would have a tough time giving up Speier, who has a phenomenal four-seam, sinker, slider combination and has not allowed a run through five and 2/3 innings this season," wrote Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/boston-red-sox... |

9/11/24 | Many Such Casas. So. The Red Sox' lead over the other AL Wild Card competitors has diminished. And now the Sox, Mariners and Tigers all have the same record, and are all waiting for the Twins to fall so that there's even the slightest chance of sneaking in. Now, as they say, it's a party. The Red Sox, this year, have been one of the best okay teams in the bigs. At no point this year did they have any shot at first...but they were never a shoo-in for last either. They seemed to get over debilitating injuries fine, having David Hamilton and Dominic Smith cover for Trevor Story and Triston Casas, then got 'em both back by September.

8/31/24 | Red Sox Underperforming Trade Acquisition Could Get Another Shot This Season. September call-ups can mean different things to different teams. On Sunday, the Red Sox will be granted two more roster spots, which they reportedly plan to use on one position player and one pitcher. Given the injury to rookie speedster David Hamilton earlier this week, it seems likely the Red Sox will add someone who can fill in at second base.
