Friday marked the deadline for all MLB clubs to tender contracts to players still under team control, and any player who isn’t offered a deal prior to the deadline is considered “non-tendered” and made a free agent. For the Red Sox, the day went exactly as expected. The Red Sox announced they have non-tendered two players, first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and right-hander Josh Winckowski, formally cutting both players loose. All 26 other unsigned players under team control were tendered contracts. Both Lowe and Winckowski had already been designated for assignment earlier this week to clear space on the 40-man roster…

The New England Patriots will face a beat up and historically bad Cincinnati Bengals defense in Week 12. Cincinnati ruled out superstar defensive end Trey Hendrickson on Friday, which will only exacerbate its problems. Sports Illustrated Bengals writer Jay Morrison explained just how bad head coach Zac Taylor’s defense has been this season in a discussion with Patriots insider Tom E. Curran on the “Patriots Talk Podcast.” “No team in NFL history has finished last in passing yards allowed, rushing yards allowed and points allowed. And they are 32nd, 32nd and 31st in those three categories,” Morrison said. “Right now,…

FOXBORO — Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai and defensive tackle Eric Gregory were missing from the team’s final practice before they travel to take on the Bengals this Sunday. Tavai and Gregory were the only players absent at the start of Friday’s practice. Tavai was limited in Wednesday’s practice for personal reasons but was a full participant Thursday.

MLB Network’s Jon Morosi said recently that he expects the Boston Red Sox to either re-sign All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman or sign free agent first baseman Pete Alonso this offseason. ESPN’s Jorge Castillo wrote on Friday that he sees a way that the Red Sox could possibly bring back Bregman and ink Alonso to a deal over the winter. “The Red Sox president of baseball operations, Craig Breslow, has made it clear: He wants to acquire an accomplished middle-of-the-order bat, preferably a right-handed one,” Castillo said. “Trading (Rafael) Devers, combined with Alex Bregman’s free agency, has left the Red…

FOXBORO — Drake Maye gets all kinds of credit for having rare physical traits. He’s been lauded for his ability to process behind center and his willingness to lead. But there’s one skill he possesses that is among the most fundamental for any quarterback, at any level, hoping to achieve some modicum of success: He can place the football just about wherever he wants, whenever he wants. Maye has been unquestionably one of the most accurate quarterbacks in football in 2025. No small feat, especially given that at the time he was drafted, one of the knocks on his game…
