Boston Red Sox fans are hard-pressed to find something to cheer about amid the club’s woeful 13-21 start to the 2026 season. While it won’t help the team turn things around any time soon, Boston’s farm system is worthy of some applause. Even with former top prospects Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer no longer in the mix, the Red Sox’ prospect pipeline is in solid shape. Young left-handers Payton Tolle and Connelly Early headline a system filled with exciting pitching talent. Three of their top 10 prospects — Kyson Witherspoon, Anthony Eyanson and Marcus Phillips — were selected in last…
BOSTON (WHDH) – After staving off elimination Tuesday night in Buffalo, the Boston Bruins are embracing a second opportunity to keep their season alive with a win against the Sabres in front of their home crowd at TD Garden Friday night. Bruins Head Coach Marco Strum said he’s hopeful the team can carry their success from their road win in game five, after dropping games three and four at home by a combined score of nine to two. “Just having the same mentality we had last game, I really liked, I enjoyed it,” Sturm said. “I enjoyed the first to…
If you were plotting out the season before this weekend, taking two of three games against the Astros might have been a nice consolation prize. Losing two instead, when the Astros are a bad team – great offense, poor pitching – is of no consolation. The Red Sox sit 10 games back in the AL East. The Orioles are losers of four straight and at 15-19. But the Sox have lost two in a row, falling to 13-21. Even keeping up with fourth place is seemingly too much right now. They are still just 3.5 games out of a wild…
