The Boston Red Sox made their first major move of the offseason on Tuesday, acquiring three-time All-Star right-hander Sonny Gray in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals. Gray will add much-needed depth to Boston’s starting rotation, but what kind of upside does the 36-year-old offer at this stage of his career? Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow clearly still thinks highly of the 13-year veteran as he parted ways with right-hander Richard Fitts and promising left-handed pitching prospect Brandon Clarke. Gray is owed $41 million in 2026, but the Cardinals will pay $20 million of that hefty salary.…

The Detroit Pistons hadn’t lost in nearly a month before visiting the Boston Celtics at TD Garden on Wednesday. That didn’t faze the short-handed Celtics, however, who handed them their first loss since Oct. 27 with a thrilling 117-114 victory, snapping the Pistons’ 13-game winning streak.

The Red Sox have a new top of the rotation arm in Sonny Gray, who has put up a career ERA+ of 117 in 13 seasons. But it hasn’t always been pretty. The nadir of his career came in 2018, when Gray fell flat on his face in his lone full season with the Yankees. But if you’re worried that he can’t handle the AL East, know that the man himself is not. Gray waived his no-trade clause in order to sanction the move and told Craig Breslow that he’s excited to come to Boston. (Christopher Smith, MassLive)And Craig Breslow…
For three quarters, Newton North’s offense could not solve Brookline’s defense. Then a solid drive resulting in a touchdown, a blocked punt and a catch along the end zone boundary provided the spark needed for the Tigers to claim a 14-13 victory at Fenway Park. It was the 134th all-time meeting between the Tigers (6-4) and the Warriors (1-8). Newton North now holds the all-time series record 69-54-11, and head coach Nick Capodilupo said the comeback victory was a perfect description for how gritty his team was this season. “I’m just really proud of these kids and this staff,” Capodilupo…
