Wrong: "JD Martinez is officially a Red Sox."
Correct: "JD Martinez is officially a member of the Red Sox"
Wrong: "He's the first Red Sox ever to..."
Correct: "He's the first Red Sox player ever to..."
And so on.

I agree with you guys, but I could swear like 10 years ago I saw something about this very subject on one of the NESN pre-game shows and they said the official usage is "Red Sox" as in "JD Martinez hits his first HR as a Red Sox."

it turns out it was a 3-HR injury! The feeling returned to his hand by the 8th inning so he did some tosses away from the field. What a guy!Coach wrote:elliseamos wrote:I almost commented that I expected Price to shit his pants. What a waste.
