BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox added 36-year-old right-hander Sonny Gray to their rotation on Tuesday, filling one of their biggest needs by acquiring the three-time All-Star from the St. Louis Cardinals with more than two months left in the offseason.The Cardinals will eat $20 million of Gray’s salary and receive righty Richard Fitts and a prospect in the deal. Gray gives Boston a dependable option who could take some of the pressure off the rest of the rotation behind ace Garrett Crochet.“We’ve been pretty transparent about our desire to add to the rotation, and our desire to add…

The Boston Red Sox couldn’t finalize their acquisition of starting pitcher Sonny Gray until talking to… well, Sonny Gray. Gray wasn’t eligible to be moved unless he waived the no-trade clause in his contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, which he agreed to do after learning which team was interested in obtaining his services. “The no-trade (clause) is a great barometer for how interested a player is in coming to a specific destination,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said during his media availability Tuesday, per MassLive’s Christopher Smith. “And so by nature of Sonny’s willingness to waive it…
If you’re looking for the latest on Neemias Queta’s injured ankle, Joe Mazzulla apparently is the wrong person to ask. Queta suffered a sprained left ankle in the first quarter of the Boston Celtics’ win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday and didn’t return. Since the Celtics don’t play again until Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons and didn’t practice Monday, we hadn’t received many updates on the 7-foot big man since Sunday. And when Mazzulla was asked about Queta’s status after Tuesday’s practice at the Auerbach Center, he played mysteriously coy. “I haven’t seen him,” Mazzulla told reporters, before repeating…
The Patriots added two familiar faces Tuesday in a roster reshuffling. The team re-signed offensive tackle Thayer Munford Jr. to the 53-man roster off the Browns’ practice squad, re-signed guard Bill Murray to their practice squad, placed cornerback Alex Austin on injured reserve and released running back Jonathan Ward from the practice squad. This is Munford’s second stint with the Patriots. He was signed to the Patriots’ practice squad before the season but was signed away to the Browns’ 53-man roster. Munford, 26, was waived by the Browns last month and re-signed to their practice squad. Now he reunites again…
The good news for the Bruins is they have reaffirmed that they’ve got another goal-scoring threat beyond David Pastrnak in Morgan Geekie. The bad news? Right now, Geekie is the only player who is scoring goals regularly. As they try to break even in their four-game road trip on Wednesday against the Islanders, the Bruins have scored six goals in the first three games and Geekie has scored five of them. Mikey Eyssimont is the only play other than Geekie to score a goal on the trip, during which an overtime win in Los Angeles was sandwiched between losses in…
After taking down the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12, Drake Maye and the New England Patriots are turning their attention to their upcoming Week 13 matchup with the New York Giants. With the team having a shot to win its 10th straight game, you can bet they will be fired up for this contest. Across the league, players will be participating in the “My Cause My Cleats” movement in Week 13. The program allows players to highlight causes off the field that are important to them with unique cleat designs that typically would not be allowed by the NFL. Maye…

The Boston Red Sox could benefit from adding an elite hitter and more power to their lineup next season. This free agent class has no shortage of elite power bats. Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber and Eugenio Suárez are all free agents. All three figure to have plenty of suitors in free agency, but Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer called the Red Sox the perfect fit for Alonso. “The Red Sox are $40 million in average annual value below the 2026 luxury-tax threshold, so they should be able to afford a nine-figure deal with Alonso,” wrote Rymer on Tuesday. “And the buzz is…
