Baseball seasons are long. They ebb. They flow. Along the way, people tend to overreact on occasion. It happens. Still, even with that understanding, it did feel like the Red Sox could have really used a victory on Monday night at Fenway Park. After a rough weekend in the Bronx where Boston could manage just one win in the four-game series, and after announcing that Sonny Gray’s Tuesday start would be skipped, and after placing the team leader in home runs and RBIs on the injured list, a dose of positivity felt sorely needed for the Red Sox against the…
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina superstar Lionel Messi announced his retirement from international soccer on Monday, ending 21 years of national-team duty that were capped by winning the World Cup in 2022 to secure his place in the pantheon of the game’s greatest ever players.“It was a decision that hurt — and still hurts deeply — but I understand that the time has come,” the 39-year-old Messi said on his Instagram account.Messi, who will continue to play at club level with Inter Miami in Major League Soccer, played in a record-tying six World Cups. He won it four years ago in a tournament…
Tonight’s game at Fenway Park was capital-B Baseball. Yesterday the Red Sox lost 16-1 to the Yankees in ways that were humiliating in line wit what losing to the Yankees naturally implies, especially around Labor Day. Just over a day later, they won as good a regular season game as you’ll ever seen. It was a 9-8 extra innings walk-off after several comebacks against the Mariners generally but specifically Randy Arozarena, who had a Randy Arozarena Game, and overtook all of Boston’s leads but the last one. The last one came on a Trevor Story single in the bottom of…

The Boston Red Sox parted ways with four of their top 10 prospects before the Aug. 3 trade deadline. Franklin Arias, their No. 1-ranked prospect, was not one of them. Arias remains with Triple-A Worcester, where he continues to show why he’s considered Boston’s shortstop of the future. The 20-year-old could even make his big-league debut before the end of this season if the Red Sox feel that he’d provide a needed spark to the lineup and the middle of their infield. Rather than move Arias in a blockbuster deal, the Red Sox sent right-hander Anthony Eyanson (former No. 2…
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox placed Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list Monday because of a strained left hamstring that’s been hampering the slugger for over a month.“He came out the other day, I don’t want to paint the picture that something way worse happened,” interim Boston manager Chad Tracy said before the start of a three-game series against Seattle.“Just a recurring of the same thing,” Tracy said. “Just to the point where, you know, if we’ve got to give him another few days to let it calm down, it’s tough to be short bodies.”The team decided…
It took eight pitchers and a six-run third inning, but the WooSox staved off the Rail Riders’ (Yankees AAA) late comeback attempt after Wilkes-Barre smacked five homers off the WooSox pitching staff. The offense was super up for the challenge, though, and Kristian Campbell was at the forefront of that challenge, as he had two home runs in his first three times up to the plate and also added a single for a 4-RBI day. He was — obviously, in a 13-run effort for Worcester — far from the only person who was seeing the ball well. Romy Gonzalez also…
