In case you haven’t noticed, New York Yankees fans have grown more than impatient with shortstop Anthony Volpe, with many calling for an upgrade at the position worthy of the club’s illustrious history of talented rosters. Volpe bursted onto the MLB season as a rookie in 2023, but he’s regressed since. Last year got so bad for Volpe at the plate, that the Yankees finally decided to bench Volpe for a bit in favor of Jose Caballero. The change wasn’t permanent. Volpe returned to the lineup after a little while. He even hit a random home run off of Boston…

The Bruins appeared to have the Vancouver Canucks gripped by the collar with their collective fist cocked for the knockout punch all night on Saturday at the Garden. But the suddenly tenacious Canucks bobbed, weaved and came away with a 5-4 shootoout win in a highly entertaining game. After the B’s coughed up a one-goal third period lead, Andrew Peeke tied the game late in the third to get it to extra sessions. The B’s, who outshot Vancouver 42-22 in regulation and OT, had numerous chances to win it in overtime but could not get the handle on numerous glittering…
Hugo Gonzalez is making the most of his increased opportunity with the Boston Celtics. The 19-year-old rookie followed his 10-point, eight-rebound performance in Friday’s win over Miami with another gem Saturday in Toronto. He was an incredible +37 while notching 10 points, 10 rebounds, and two steals in the Celtics’ 112-96 victory. Gonzalez played 28 minutes after logging 29 against the Heat. After Saturday’s win, NBC Sports Boston’s Abby Chin asked the Spaniard how he still had the energy to come up big for Boston. “It’s what everyone told me, like, you can’t be tired because you’re 19,” Gonzalez said. “So I tried…
FOXBORO — Win and in. It’s that simple. If the Patriots beat the Ravens tonight, they will clinch a postseason berth for the first time in four years. Were it not for a loss last weekend versus Buffalo, the Pats (11-3) would already be wearing the division crown. Alas, the AFC East title is still within reach — provided they don’t falter down the stretch. Starting in Baltimore, Drake Maye and Co. will battle a Ravens team fighting for its playoff life. Baltimore (7-7) shut out the Bengals 24-0 last week, thanks to a dominant defensive effort that included a…

Over the past few years Red Sox fans became quite familiar with the top names in Boston’s farm system. For a while it was Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel who reigned as the “Big Three,” then Kristian Campbell took Teel’s place after Teel was dealt in the Garrett Crochet trade. Once all of them reached the majors, several pitchers separated themselves from the pack as well, most notably Connelly Early and Payton Tolle, the latter rising all the way from High-A to the majors in his first professional season. Now, the Red Sox farm system is entering a…
Good morning. Kristian Campbell is starting to look a little bit better at the plate down in Puerto Rico.He’s also reportedly going to be playing exclusively left field down there. Interestingly, Campbell did not start any of the final 10 games of the 2025 season in left. (Moreover, the last thing the Red Sox need roster wise is yet another corner outfielder.) Regardless, his development could end up being an unexpectedly important part of the story of the 2026 Red Sox.Talk about what you want and be good to one another. Source link

Originally scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff, the Patriots’ Week 16 matchup with the Ravens was flexed into the 8:20 p.m. “Sunday Night Football” window last week. “That’s what you play for. That’s what we’re trying to play for, for many years down the road,” quarterback Drake Maye said Wednesday. “Trying to be the team that people want to see at night. People want to see when the only game on is us. That’s what you want this environment to be. That’s what you want the New England Patriots to be. Playing…

The college football season is winding down, and it’s officially time to start considering where some of the top players in the sport might end up in the 2026 NFL Draft. Although the Patriots still have three games remaining in the regular season and a possible playoff run ahead, New England can also start considering players to add for next season. USA Today’s Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz published a mock draft on Friday, featuring the Patriots selecting Texas A&M pass rusher Cashius Howell with the 30th pick. “An undersized edge rusher who took the Southeastern Conference by storm after transferring from Bowling…
