With every new addition to Major League Baseball’s list of streaming and broadcasting partners in recent years, the response from baseball fans is largely the same: Frustration that the league is raking in more TV money while creating another expensive and confusing barrier between fans and the game. ESPN wants baseball fans to understand that their renewed and revamped partnership with MLB, which includes running MLB.TV, is different. For starters, there’s no need to learn a new streaming service. Though MLB.TV is now available on the ESPN app, it remains accessible through the usual MLB platforms and websites. “(MLB.TV) has…

Alex Verdugo will get another chance to prove himself in the National League West. According to the San Diego Union Tribune’s Kevin Acee, the former Boston Red Sox outfielder is in agreement with the San Diego Padres on a minor league contract. Verdugo returns to the NL West after six tumultuous years on the East Coast, following his part in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ trade for Mookie Betts (and David Price) in 2020. There were bright spots, but controversy was the most consistent aspect of Verdugo’s four-year Red Sox tenure. He arrived, not only as an unwitting part in the…
Call it the Neemias Queta Game. The Celtics center, whose ascent from fourth-stringer to impact starter has been instrumental to Boston’s success this season, delivered the best performance of his career Sunday night to power his team to a 114-98 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden.

Yes, it’s on NESN, first pitch at 1:05 PM.What should we watch for?How about this infield configuration, huh? For most of this spring — including in team fielding drills outside of a game setting — Marcelo Mayer has been at second with Caleb Durbin at third. Alex Cora has flipped that today, while Isiah Kiner-Falefa is playing first base for the first time in his big league career. That’s the only position IKF hasn’t played (including pitcher) and he’s going to have to get used to it over there. Without Romy Gonzalez and Triston Casas, he’ll be the primary backup…

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…
