The Boston Red Sox may have passed on aggressively pursuing Pete Alonso, but then again, they’re offseason priority has always been Alex Bregman. With Alonso now off the board, most fans and analysts agree that it’s probably no longer a matter of “if”, but a matter of “when” the Red Sox finalize a deal with Bregman, a two-time World Series champ. On Friday, Tim Kelly of Bleacher Report predicted that Bregman will indeed return to Boston, and Kelly put a contract figure out into the world, too: five years and $135 million. “The market has played out in a way…
FOXBORO — The Patriots will need to make a roster move by Sunday’s game against the Bills. Head coach Mike Vrabel announced Friday afternoon that the team will add running back D’Ernest Johnson to the 53-man roster by Sunday afternoon. That move comes after the team ruled out running back Terrell Jennings with a concussion. Johnson has already been elevated from the practice squad a maximum three times. To play in another game, the veteran running back must be signed to the 53-man roster. The Patriots could elect to place Jennings on injured reserve to free up a roster spot.…
Good morning! Alex Bregman opted out of the final two years of his $120 million deal because, presumably, he thought he could get more money elsewhere. So you have to wonder if he’s getting a little antsy given the recent report that Bregman’s agent, Scott Boras, recently approached the Seattle Mariners to “express Bregman’s willingness to consider Seattle as a destination.”The Jerry Dipoto-led Mariners are (a) famously a team that doesn’t do much in free agency, and (b) seemingly content with their existing infield options. The fact that Boras is now reaching out to teams like that in order to…
Welcome to the Friday Five! Every week during the NFL regular season, I’ll drop five Patriots-related thoughts on Friday to recap the week that was in Foxboro and look ahead to kickoff. Ready, set, football. 1. An underdog explanation What a welcome the Patriots received returning from their bye. Vegas oddsmakers installed the Bills as 1-point or 1.5-point favorites for this Sunday’s showdown. Now, it’s important to remember sportsbooks set odds with the goal of receiving equal amounts of money on both teams to mitigate their risk no matter the outcome of the game. But if more money is placed…
ORLANDO, Fla. – On the final day of the 2024 MLB Winter Meetings, the Boston Red Sox salvaged a week that saw them lose out on Juan Soto and Max Fried by pulling off a blockbuster trade for Garrett Crochet. No such face-saving coup this year. The Red Sox, interested in practically everyone, won no one. Having lost out on Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso, they flew home empty-handed. It’s the same old song and dance in every free agency now. They’re urgent. They’re aggressive. They’re committed. They’re ‘full throttle.’ And then the Red Sox are none of those things –…

The Celtics’ five-game win streak stalled Thursday night in snowy Milwaukee. Facing a scuffling Bucks team that was playing without two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Boston went cold in the second half and lost 116-101 at Fiserv Forum. Antetokounmpo missed the game with a calf strain, but the Celtics could not corral the Bucks’ red-hot role players. Kyle Kuzma led all scorers with 31 points on 13-of-17 shooting, Bobby Portis scored 27 on 11-of-13, including a 5-for-6 showing from 3-point range, and Kevin Porter Jr. finished with an 18-point, 13-assist, 10-rebound triple-double. Jaylen Brown (30 points on 10-of-17) and Jordan…
