During the general manager meetings in Las Vegas, Craig Breslow mentioned that if the Red Sox add to the starting rotation, it will be a frontline arm. Jacob deGrom could be a phenomenal fit for the Red Sox. deGrom is a two-time Cy Young Award winner and five-time All-Star. However, injuries have set him back lately. Going into last season, he had not made 20 starts in any of the previous four years. However, when he is on the mound, he is one of the best in the sport. Breslow wants a frontline starter, and deGrom is just that. He…

The Boston Red Sox added an infielder Tuesday. No, his name isn’t Pete Alonso. The Red Sox acquired Tristan Gray from the Rays in a trade that sent minor-league pitcher Luis Guerrero to Tampa Bay. Boston designed first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for assignment to make room for Gray on the 40-man roster. Gray isn’t exactly a household name — he’s spent time with four teams over the last two years since making his major league debut in 2023. The 29-year-old appeared in 30 games for the Rays last season, however, posting a .231 batting average with a .693 OPS to…
The team with the worst record in the NHL – and thus first in line on the waiver wire – claimed now former Bruins’ center/wing John Beecher off waivers on Tuesday. And fortunately for Beecher, he was indeed claimed. If he passed and had been assigned to Providence, it didn’t sound like he would have been coming back to Boston any time soon. The 2019 first-round pick (30th overall) did not leave Boston with the most glowing of recommendations. Asked what the main reasons were for waiver designation, coach Marco Sturm didn’t really hold back. “This is something we touched…
The New England Patriots were given some time off by head coach Mike Vrabel after taking down the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week 11. It’s safe to say that time off was a welcome sight, considering how hectic last week was for the Pats. After pulling off a big victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in Week 10, New England quickly turned its attention to Week 11. Off the field, the team welcomed back legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski, who signed a one-day contract with the team so that he could retire as a…
Hours before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. ET deadline to finalize their 40-man roster for next month’s Rule 5 Draft, the Red Sox swung a trade with a division rival and designated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and right-hander Josh Winckowski for assignment. Right-handed reliever Luis Guerrero is going to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for Tristan Gray to Boston. Guerrero, however, was no longer on the 40-man roster after being designated for assignment, clearing waivers, and being outrighted to the minors earlier this month. Thus, the Red Sox opened a roster spot for Gray by DFA’ing Lowe. Winckowski’s spot will be…
Today is one of the more significant days of the offseason, regardless of whether the Sox make any trades or significant free agent signings. That’s because it’s the final day to finalize the 40-man roster. While there has been speculation that Tanner Houck, who may miss all of 2026 and is a free agent after 2027, would be non-tendered, multiple sources now report that the Red Sox have no intention of doing so. (Chris Cotillo, MassLive)It’s hard to believe that we’re even discussing the possibility of non-tendering Houck when, last season, we were wondering whether he might start the All-Star…
