If I were the commissioner of Major League Baseball, one of the many rules that I would implement purely to entertain myself would be to require that every team carry at least one player who grew up in that team’s city. And I would be strict as hell about it, too. Sorry, Rich Hill, Milton doesn’t count; your parents should have moved across the Neponset and raised you in one of those cool condos in the old chocolate factory in Lower Mills instead.Would this rule give teams like the Marlins, Rays, Dodgers, and Yankees a built-in advantage over the Twins,…

Even when the odds seem stacked against the Bruins, they can do no wrong these days. A seriously undermanned B’s team traveled to Toronto and took it to the Maple Leafs for much of the night, notching a 5-3 victory on Saturday at Scotiabank Arena, their sixth straight victory. Jeremy Swayman stopped 30 shots, including all 15 he faced in the third period, and the B’s got goals from five different players – with players from all four lines scoring – to improve their record to 10-7. “That’s a huge win for us,” said Fraser Minten, whom coach Marco Sturm…

The Boston Red Sox have a lot of big decisions to make over the offseason after finding their way to the playoffs in 2025. Perhaps the biggest of the bunch involves third baseman Alex Bregman after he opted out of his contract to hit free agency for the second straight year. For all intents and purposes, Bregman seemed to be a perfect fit with the Red Sox last season. In 114 games, Bregman hit .273 with 18 home runs and 62 RBIs, earning the third All-Star selection of his career. Boston is expected to make a big push to bring…
MILTON – Rivalries often bring out the best in players, and in a Saturday afternoon matinee at Milton Academy, quarterback Qur’an McNeill proved exactly why. McNeill started off a little shaky in the first 12 minutes of play but rose to the occasion as the Mustangs rattled off 38 unanswered points – including 21 in the second quarter – to motor past archrival Nobles & Greenough, 38-9, in the regular season finale for both. “This is a rivalry game, the kids get hyped up, and Nobles is a good team. They came into the game with the same record as…
The Patriots, one could deduce, find themselves in a bit of a philosophical bind. On the one hand, they have a dynamic young quarterback whose ability to extend plays and create explosive gains is among his greatest strengths. On the other hand, extending plays the way Drake Maye does can lead to the type of physical punishment that could cause those explosive plays to suddenly disappear in a wisp of smoke. What’s the answer, then? How do they fix it? Maye is second in the NFL this season with 34 sacks taken, behind only Titans rookie Cam Ward (38). Josh…
The Patriots have added depth at running back and linebacker for their Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers. Running back D’Ernest Johnson and linebacker Darius Harris were both elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. Johnson was also elevated last week to serve as depth behind TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) out. The veteran running back played on special teams but didn’t see any offensive snaps. We’ll see if that changes Sunday after another week in the system. He has 215 career carries for 989 yards with three touchdowns and 53 catches…
Boston Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei will be playing his first game since Oct. 27. Lohrei has been a healthy scratch for the past five games, but he will return to the lineup on Saturday when the Bruins go on the road to play the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bruins star defenseman Charlie McAvoy will be out of the lineup as he didn’t travel with the team due to personal reasons. In McAvoy’s absence, Lohrei will draw back into the lineup, and Bruins head coach Marco Sturm sent a clear message to the defenseman. “This is his opportunity now to come in.…
ORLANDO — Jaylen Brown and Payton Pritchard — two just four active, healthy Celtics who were rotation players on the 2023-24 championship team — have both spoken candidly about the current state of Boston’s roster. It’s not as talented, they’ve acknowledged, as the loaded squad that won it all two seasons ago and then went 61-21 last year. That’s been reflected in the Celtics’ 4-6 record thus far; while a step above the bottom tier of the Eastern Conference, they’d miss both the playoffs and the play-in tournament if the season ended Saturday. Those returning mainstays have been encouraged, though,…
