Hello and happy Monday, folks. We’re mere hours away from Opening Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!With that in mind, the question of the day is simple: who’s going to be the fifth starter in the rotation?Crochet’s a Cy Young candidate. Suarez and Gray are locks. Bello’s a good of a bet as anyone in the organization to provide 30-ish starts. From there, who’s the fifth guy?Is it top pitching prospect Payton Tolle, with a potentially revamped pitch mix to go alongside his electric fastball?Is it Connelly Early, who made his mark late last season and has a high ceiling in his own right?Is it…

The Boston Celtics are back at TD Garden to begin a three-game homestand Sunday night vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves. Boston has won four consecutive games, including Friday’s surprisingly tough victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

This time, however, the Celtics will have Jayson Tatum in the mix, and Minnesota will be without its superstar Anthony Edwards (knee). Follow our live blog below for score updates,…

Yesterday, manager Alex Cora announced that Marcelo Mayer would be the starting second baseman for the 2026 Red Sox. Thus concludes one of the sillier spring training storylines we’ve seen in a long time. There was never really any baseball reason to suggest that either Isiah Kiner-Falefa or Andruw Monasterio would make more sense for the big league team than Mayer, even considering Mayer’s struggles at the plate in his first taste of the majors last year. But Cora says he “wanted to push him.” (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)As a domino move that corresponded with Mayer making the big league…

Will A.J. Brown be a New England Patriot in 2026? That question has persisted for weeks, and the buzz has only gotten louder in recent days. Ex-Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman added fuel to the fire Thursday by posting a GIF of him telling Brown “We’re all Patriots” during a recent podcast interview. (Brown responded with a sly wink.) And later that day, we saw photos of Brown training with newly-acquired Patriots safety Kevin Byard, who was Brown’s teammate in both Philadelphia and Tennessee and is close with the star wide receiver. So, is this trade happening or not? What…

It’s no secret the Celtics’ winning formula in the Mazzulla era has been “chuck as many 3s as possible”. March has shown us that might not be viable going forward.The season started out well for the Celtics, with one immediately noticeable talking point on the offensive side; Jaylen Brown was taking midrange shots. It felt like a trip back to the 2000s, before the 3-pointer had not completely taken over. It was exciting and refreshing, but now the Celtics are back to their old identity.Before I begin, I am obviously not coming after Mazzulla’s ideologies or even the performance of…
