Coming off an 89-win season and their first playoff appearance since 2021, the Boston Red Sox are heading into a pivotal offseason as they look to go from Wild Card team to World Series contender. One area where the Red Sox need to improve is the starting rotation, where they still need a true No. 2 starter behind Garrett Crochet after failing to acquire one at the trade deadline. While they have plenty of pitching depth, the staff could use another top-of-the-rotation arm to slot in behind Crochet, similar to how Boston traded for Chris Sale to pair with David…

Spoiler alert: You’re going to see a familiar face in our “Stock Up” section this week. The New England Patriots earned their fourth straight victory Sunday in Tennessee thanks to another brilliant performance by second-year quarterback Drake Maye, who completed 21 of 23 passes while carving up the Titans’ defense for 222 yards and two touchdowns. This time around, however, Maye had some help from his rushing attack: Rhamondre Stevenson rumbled for 88 yards on 18 carries after managing 70 total rushing yards in his previous three games combined. The Patriots’ defense, meanwhile, rebounded from a slow start to stifle…
The coach who ended the Celtics’ 2024-25 season was on hand Monday to help them prepare for 2025-26. Tom Thibodeau, who was fired by the Knicks weeks after New York’s second-round triumph over Boston this past spring, visited a Celtics practice at the Auerbach Center ahead of Wednesday’s season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers. It’s not unusual for unemployed coaches to travel to other teams’ facilities — ex-Memphis Grizzlies bench boss Taylor Jenkins attended a C’s practice earlier this month — but Thibodeau was able to provide a unique perspective. “I think that was awesome having Thibs,” Jaylen Brown said.…
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor NutshellOne of the most valuable players on the 2025 Red Sox was, for two months, one of the worst players in baseball. But at least he was playing baseball at all.Trevor Story was saved by money. Amidst a Red Sox tenure that had been defined almost entirely by injuries, Story entered the 2025 season healthy, finally. And with that health. . . he proceeded to be one of the worst players in the world for two whole months of the baseball calendar. His OPS bottomed out at .581 on May 28. He’d struck out 67 times…
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — “Vra-bel. Vra-bel. Vra-bel.” That’s the sound the Patriots and their head coach heard as they salted away another victory Sunday afternoon, closing out a 31-13 rout of the Tennessee Titans with a series of kneeldowns. Were those chants coming from the scores of traveling New England fans, who occupied roughly half of the seats at Nissan Stadium? Or from Titans supporters rueing their team’s decision to fire Mike Vrabel? “That’s neither here nor there,” said Vrabel, who tried hard to downplay the game’s most obvious storyline. “I mean, I’m happy for my players. … I guess it’s…
NASHVILLE — Judging only by the final score, one would think it was an easy victory for the Patriots on Sunday against the Titans. But not only was the 31-13 win close in the first half, it also took some impressive plays from Patriots pass-catchers to get the job done. It started with tight end Austin Hooper leaping over cornerback L’Jarius Sneed and reaching over his head to pick the ball out of the air while landing with two feet in the end zone for a touchdown on a perfectly placed ball from Drake Maye midway through the second quarter.…
Florida Panthers star forward Brad Marchand had Tuesday’s game circled on his calendar. The Panthers are set to go on the road to play the Boston Bruins on Tuesday, as Marchand will make his return to Boston. Marchand played 16 seasons with the Bruins, but was traded to Florida at last year’s trade deadline, where he helped the Panthers win the Stanley Cup. Marchand ended up signing a six-year extension with Florida, and once he re-signed, he looked at when he would be making his return to Boston. Ahead of his return, Marchand is expecting it to be emotional and…

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Twenty-three passes left Drake Maye’s right hand Sunday afternoon. Just two hit the Nissan Stadium turf. That’s a rare level of accuracy and efficiency for an NFL quarterback. How rare? Well, it’s something Tom Brady never did during his unparalleled Patriots tenure. Maye’s 91.3% completion percentage in New England’s 31-13 win over the Tennessee Titans was a new regular-season franchise record, breaking the previous mark of 88.5% set by Brady in a 2009 victory over Jacksonville. It was the eighth-best completion rate in NFL history. “I left some out there that I ended up running that I…
Mackenzie Clarke couldn’t hide what she felt. The Belmont senior midfielder’s red face showed exhaustion from yet another big matchup she was heavily utilized in. The disappointment of losing to Watertown yet again, this time a 2-1 decision in early September that could’ve gone the other way. And whatever she didn’t show of the weight she put on her shoulders for sailing a potential game-tying reverse chip too high on the game’s last play, she muttered it right after. Nobody on Belmont could point fingers at its all-time leading scorer – a two-time All-Scholastic headed to UConn – for the…
