Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan has re-entered the NBA landscape. Jordan will be involved with NBC’s NBA coverage during the 2025-26 season as a “special contributor”, with his contributions thus far arriving in the form of a sit-down interview with Mike Tirico, segments of which will be aired throughout the season during NBC broadcasts. The collection of interview segments, entitled “MJ: Insights to Excellence”, debuted on Tuesday, October 21, during halftime of the Oklahoma City Thunder-Houston Rockets NBA season opener.

Here’s something you might not be aware of: the Red Sox absolutely own the third base Silver Slugger award. Of the 45 trophies given out at that position, 11 of them have gone to Red Sox third baseman. This has been thanks mostly to Wade Boggs, who won the award six times with the Sox. But Rafael Devers also won the award twice, with Adrian Beltre, Bill Mueller, and Carney Lansford all picking up the hardware, too.Unsurprisingly, the Sox have done really well in the Silver Slugger overall, having won exactly 50 of them since it was first given out…

The New England Patriots offense is off to a fantastic start this season. Quarterback Drake Maye and veteran receiver Stefon Diggs are significant contributors to the offense’s success. The 31-year-old receiver has 33 receptions for 456 yards over seven games this season. Diggs succeeds largely because he shows his hands late, a strategy offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels saw from another great receiver. “Randy (Moss) was spectacular at it, McDaniels said on Thursday, via Patriots on CLNS. “Probably the best I’ve ever seen. These guys are really skilled.” Diggs reveals his hands late, which keeps the defender guessing about whether Maye…

Third baseman Alex Bregman is Boston’s only Silver Slugger Award finalist this year. That says a lot about the 2025 Red Sox, who were a top offensive team in many metrics, but were also felled by their bats in crucial spots throughout the year and in the postseason. But first, Bregman, who is up against Cleveland’s José Ramírez and José Caballero, whom the New York Yankees acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays at the trade deadline. Ramírez looks like a lock to take home his sixth career Silver Slugger when winners are announced on Nov. 7. Through 158 games, the Guardians’…

Coming off an 89-win season, a third-place finish in the AL East and their first playoff appearance in four years, the Boston Red Sox are trending in the right direction.

That will likely entail some major moves, similar to last winter when the Red Sox traded for Garrett Crochet, signed Alex Bregman and added Aroldis Chapman. Boston needs several impact players, ideally in the middle of the lineup and at the top of the rotation. Accordingly, Red Sox beat…
