FORT MYERS, Fla. — Over the past few years the Red Sox pitching program has been completely transformed. Since Craig Breslow took over as chief baseball officer, the Red Sox have gone from one of the worst organizations at developing young pitchers to one of the best, and now the club is overflowing with talented arms who are already making their mark in the majors. That hasn’t gone unnoticed, and this past offseason one of the people most responsible for executing the club’s turnaround — former director of pitching Justin Willard — was hired away by the New York Mets…

The Boston Bruins, whether as buyers or sellers, are no strangers to trade deadline moves. General manager Don Sweeney has made at least one move ahead of the NHL trade deadline every year since taking over his current role in 2015. In fact, the trade deadline is typically where Sweeney does some of his best work. He has been a buyer in most of those years, but in 2025, the B’s took a sledgehammer to their roster and dealt veterans such as Brad Marchand, Brandon Carlo, Charlie Coyle, Trent Frederic and others. It was the right move because the B’s…
FORT MYERS, Fla. — With 13 Red Sox players set to leave big league camp to join their respective national teams ahead of the World Baseball Classic, Alex Cora is suddenly going to have a lot of spots to fill.

BOSTON (AP) — The Celtics have been one of the NBA’s hottest teams since returning from the All-Star break.They can add one of the best offensive performances in league history to their list of accomplishments as they await a possible return of star Jayson Tatum to action.Boston shot a season-high 66.7% (52 of 78) from the field in their 148-111 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

The list of all-time great college basketball players that have made their mark on the UConn men’s program feels endless. Ray Allen. Ben Gordon. Richard Hamilton. Donyell Marshall. Emeka Okafor. Caron Butler. Kemba Walker. Shabazz Napier. Donovan Clingan. They transformed the Huskies into a national powerhouse that competes with the bluebloods year in and year out. It’s a pantheon reserved for the few, and one Alex Karaban managed to open the door to, walk right in and introduce himself. The stats for Karaban, a 6-foot-8 redshirt senior forward with two national championships already under his belt, might not compare to…
Credit: Boston Celtics-Facebook It was no secret, preseason, that the Celtics’ biggest worry was crashing the boards.Now, it feels as if the Celtics own the glass on both sides of the court.The starting center position felt like a flip of a coin heading into the 2025 season. It was uncertain if we would see Neemias Queta finally earn the job. Or would free agent Luka Garza emerge as the candidate after training camp? Either way, the general sentiment was not optimistic.Both players were inexperienced and never had a season with over 15 minutes played per game. An acquisition of some…

The year was 1972 and that was the last time Newton North tasted a gymnastics championship. That was until Saturday afternoon at Algonquin Regional.
