Who is he and where did he come from?He’s Matt Clyde Joe Teran Fraizer, and he comes to us from Clovis, California via the University of Arizona and the Pittsburgh Pirates minor league system. The Red Sox signed him as a minor league free agent last week after he was released by the Pirates. He’s been given a non-roster invitation to big league spring training.There are some surface-level aspects of Fraizer’s biography that could reasonably lead one to think he’s a decent prospect: He was a third-round pick out of a traditional baseball powerhouse; he was the Pirates 2021 Minor…

At halftime, Monday’s Celtics-Bulls game didn’t seem like a remarkable one for Anfernee Simons. Boston’s third guard had logged nine first-half minutes and, like most of his teammates, shot the ball poorly, missing all three 3-pointers he attempted. He’d held up well defensively — the Celtics were bludgeoning Chicago, 54-33, despite their offensive issues — but had zero points and zero assists. Simons sat for the first six minutes of the second half, watching as Payton Pritchard padded Boston’s lead with a pair of threes and an and-one jumper. Then, he checked in — and took over. Simons played the…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Drake Maye was the most accurate starting quarterback in the NFL this season.He has also been adept at deflecting any praise that has come his way during the Patriots’ run to their first AFC East title since 2019.But after playing an integral role in steering New England to one of the best one-season turnarounds in league history following its 38-10 win over Miami, the second-year quarterback may soon be tagged with something that’ll be difficult to shrug off: being selected NFL MVP.“He’s been everything that we’ve asked and he continues to get better. He’s not satisfied,” Patriots…
Outside of earning a first-round bye, the New England Patriots may have gotten the next best thing to start the playoffs, a wild-card round matchup vs. the injury-ravaged Los Angeles Chargers.

Coaching legend Bill Belichick discussed New England’s upcoming battle with the Chargers on Tuesday and explained how Justin Herbert and company could be…

DANVERS — Beverly began its calendar year with an 80-36 victory over Northeastern Conference rival Danvers. Beverly (5-1) entered its matchup with Danvers (4-3) Monday night looking to bounce back from a loss to Central Catholic in the championship game of the Commonwealth Motors Classic. “We had a really tough tournament; we put together some good practices,” Beverly head coach Matt Karakoudas said. “The kids had a really good attitude coming off of that loss.” Senior guard Jacob Klass entered the game needing 31 points to eclipse 1,000 career points. The Falcons defense well aware of Klass’s potential milestone were determined…
Sunday’s tape, believe it or not, is the roadmap. The leaks in this Patriots defense? Patched with a few red-zone stops and a couple of turnovers. The offense? That league-leading, high-powered, high-flying offense, occasionally grounded by an inefficient run game? Lifted by four explosive runs that covered as much ground as if the Pats had instead churned out 20 straight carries at six yards a pop. Create explosive runs and turnovers, easier said than done, yes. But nothing’s easy now. Welcome to the NFL playoffs. “You’d better be able to (run the ball) in the tournament, and you’d better be…
The Boston Celtics moved into second place in the Eastern Conference standings on Monday night with a 115-101 win over the Chicago Bulls at TD Garden. The Celtics are now 23-12 on the season. Anfernee Simons led the Celtics in scoring with 27 points, his career-high in a Boston uniform. Simons has scored 25 points twice in his young Celtics career, but he bested that mark against Chicago on 8-of-14 shooting from 3 in 27 minutes off of Joe Mazzulla’s bench. Payton Pritchard added 21 points to go along with six rebounds, five assists, and zero turnovers. It was a…
The New England Patriots exceeded everyone’s expectations this season, earning a 14-3 record and their first AFC East division title since 2019. The list of reasons why the Patriots transformed from a 4-13 disaster last year to a 14-3 powerhouse in 2025 is a long one, but nobody made a more profound impact on this franchise’s dramatic turnaround than starting quarterback Drake Maye. The No. 3 pick from the 2024 NFL Draft had one of the most impressive sophomore seasons by a quarterback in league history. He has a very strong case to win league MVP. Setting records and climbing…
BOSTON — The Celtics continued their climb up the Eastern Conference standings Monday night, routing the Chicago Bulls to claim sole possession of second place. The 115-101 win at TD Garden pushed Boston ahead of the New York Knicks, who were blown out by the first-place Detroit Pistons earlier in the evening for their fourth consecutive loss. The Celtics, now 23-12, have won four straight and eight of their last nine. They own the East’s best point differential this season and rank top-three in the NBA in offensive rating and net rating, far outpacing their lukewarm preseason expectations. Jaylen Brown…
