Two years ago, Triston Casas hit 24 home runs and finished third in American League Rookie of the Year voting, and it looked like the Boston Red Sox had found their first baseman for years to come. They’ve entered the subsequent two offseasons with a question mark hanging over the position. “It’s no secret that Triston has tremendous potential,” chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday, during a videoconference to discuss the club’s acquisition of Willson Contreras, “but (he) also hasn’t been able to stay on the field the last couple of years, thanks to really unfortunate but significant injuries.”…

The New England Patriots are unlikely to be picking high in the 2026 NFL Draft unless they pull off a surprising trade. Meanwhile, two of their biggest rivals, the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets, are expected to be near the top of the draft order. Both Miami and New York might be eyeing a rookie quarterback in the first round. Pro Football Focus’s Gordon McGuinness released a mock draft on Monday that had the Dolphins moving up from Pick No. 10 to No. 1 by trading with the New York Giants to secure Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. “Projected trade:…

The Red Sox today acquired three-time all-star first baseman (former catcher) Willson Contreras — and $8 million in cash to pay down part of the $41.5 million that remains in the last three years of his contract — from the St. Louis Cardinals (obviously) in exchange for Hunter Dobbins, single-A prospect Yhoiker Fajardo (#8 in the system according to Soxprospects.com), single-A non-prospect Blake Aita (#36), and . Those are the details of the deal. Now to the important part: should you complain about this?Let’s start with this: Willson Contreras is probably better than you think. Don’t just roll your eyes…

After a decade-long wait, Jaylen Brown is thoroughly enjoying his first season as the Celtics’ unquestioned leader. Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury last spring moved Brown to the top of the team’s pecking order, and Boston has overachieved thus far on his watch, sitting third in the Eastern Conference at 18-11. Brown has flourished as the Celtics’ new centerpiece, averaging career bests in scoring, assists and field-goal percentage while spearheading the NBA’s fourth-highest-rated offense. The 10th-year pro is playing at an All-NBA level — an honor he’s received just once in his career — and generating buzz as a fringe candidate…

A glance at the stat sheet would suggest Jaylen Brown, with his game-high 31 points and nine rebounds, was the driving force behind the Celtics’ latest victory. But credit for the 103-95 win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night belonged to Boston’s bench. Down 20 early in the third quarter, head coach Joe Mazzulla sent in reserves Hugo Gonzalez, Luka Garza, Anfernee Simons, Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman, and that unit changed the game. The Celtics outscored the injury-depleted Pacers by 28 points over the final 19:22 to avoid a home upset and improve to 18-11. Of those Boston…

According to a new report from The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon published Monday, the Boston Red Sox have discussed a potential Brendan Donovan trade with the St. Louis Cardinals. “St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, who already has traded right-hander Sonny Gray and first baseman Willson Contreras to the Boston Red Sox, might not be done dealing with his former club,” Rosenthal and Sammon wrote. “The Cardinals and Red Sox also have discussed a trade that would send infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan to Boston, according to people briefed on the conversations.
