FORT MYERS, Fla. — Red Sox manager Alex Cora has not determined what positions Caleb Durbin and Marcelo Mayer will focus on leading into the new season, but he insists a decision isn’t far off. “The sooner the better,” he said. That decision could potentially come this weekend once both players have appeared in a game at second base for the club. Caleb Durbin, who was once again penciled in at third base on Tuesday, is scheduled to start at second for the first time on Thursday, Cora said. Mayer, who is ramping up slowly following last season’s wrist surgery…

It’s that time of year again. To scout and interview prospects, tamper with free agents and dish on everyone else around the NFL. Coaches, executives and agents will descend on Indianapolis this week for the league’s annual scouting combine. Officially, their business is to prepare for this April’s draft, while unofficially everyone will be hunting for intel on an evolving trade market and free agency next month. The Patriots have 11 picks heading into the draft, starting at No. 31 overall, and roughly $36 million to play with in free agency, good for 11th-most in the league, per Over the…
The New England Patriots will almost certainly be looking to upgrade their wide receiver room this spring. If they pursue a trade, Philadelphia Eagles star A.J. Brown will be among the top options to consider. Brown is coming off a tumultuous season in Philly. The 28-year-old grew frustrated with his usage in the Eagles’ offense and called the situation a “s–tshow” during a live stream. In the team’s playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Brown had a pair of critical drops and got into a spat with head coach Nick Sirianni. A three-time Pro Bowler, Brown’s production dipped for…
FORT MYERS, Fla. — No player’s journey through professional baseball is alike, but you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who has walked a path quite like Noah Song. Originally drafted by the Red Sox in 2019, Song spent three seasons away from baseball fulfilling his military obligations as a U.S. Naval Academy graduate. Immediately upon his return he found himself being shotgunned to the big leagues by a new organization, only to then run into a series of injury setbacks that cost him most of the next two years. Now back with the Red Sox, Song has finally settled…

By JOHN WAWROW and MELISSA GOLDIN WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. women’s hockey gold medal-winning team has politely declined an invitation from President Donald Trump to attend his State of the Union address on Tuesday. “We are sincerely grateful for the invitation extended to our gold medal–winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team and deeply appreciate the recognition of their extraordinary achievement,” the U.S. women’s team said in a statement released Monday. “Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate.

The Patriots have released running back Antonio Gibson, the team announced Monday. Gibson, 27, is recovering from a season-ending torn ACL he suffered during a Week 5 win at Buffalo in early October. Prior to his injury, he had been the Patriots’ lead kick returner and No. 3 running back behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Gibson was set to enter the last year of the free-agent contract he signed in 2024. His release creates more than $2 million in cap space for the Patriots, who are now scheduled to have more than $38 million entering the 2026 league year.…
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — When Connelly Early’s first season as a big leaguer came to an end last October, the message he received from the Red Sox was simple: Get bigger, get stronger. Five months later Early reported to camp with 15 pounds of added muscle, and Monday he put those gains to good use. Early was sharp in his first start of spring training, throwing two scoreless innings in Boston’s eventual 2-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. The 23-year-old left-hander threw 27 pitches, 18 for strikes, and allowed one walk and one strikeout with no hits or runs.…
