Back in spring training when the Red Sox initially approached Roman Anthony about the possibility of signing a long-term extension, the club’s top prospect wasn’t sure he was ready to make that kind of commitment to a place he hadn’t yet gotten to really know. But now, even just two months into his big league career, Anthony knows Boston is where he wants to be. The Red Sox announced Wednesday that they’ve signed the 21-year-old outfielder to an eight-year extension that will keep Anthony in Boston throughout the next decade. The deal will take effect next year and covers the…

The Boston Red Sox seemingly don’t have to worry about Carlos Narváez missing much more time. Yet to record a base hit in August, Narváez has sat out three of Boston’s last four games. The starting catcher missed Wednesday’s 7-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals with a knee issue. Narváez hopes to return to the lineup soon. He said after Wednesday’s game, per the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey, that his knee simply felt sore after undergoing medical evaluations. The rookie expects to play on Friday or Saturday. Narváez limped down the first-base line while running out a batted ball…

The only place to start is the closet. The dark wooden door inside a meeting room at Ohio State’s football facility, and the empty space behind it, seven feet long and three wide. This is where John Streicher walked in, laid down, slept hundreds of times, and over time, the man they now call “Stretch” walked out. This is where Mike Vrabel says he first found him, then an unpaid coaching intern who lived there starting in 2012, out of pure hustle and love of the game. “I said, ‘Who are you?’” the Patriots head coach remembered from his office…

Dustin May took the mound for a team other than the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time in his career when he started for the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. The final line wasn’t pretty for May. 3 2/3 innings pitched, three runs, six hits, four strikeouts and one walk. He also hit two batters. He also took the loss as the Royals won, 7-3. The line doesn’t tell the entire story of his Red Sox debut, though. With the Dodgers, May used almost exclusively his sinker and sweeper against right-handed hitters. On Wednesday, he changed the mix and…

Roman Anthony can’t think of a better place to spend the next eight-plus years of his promising career. Anthony, who entered the 2025 campaign as the top prospect in all of baseball, signed an eight-year contract extension with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. The 21-year-old reportedly will earn $130 million during the life of the contract, which spans the 2026-33 seasons with a club option option for 2034. “I wanted to be here,” Anthony said during a press conference at Fenway Park on Wednesday evening. “It was as simple as that. I wanted to be in Boston. “Winning in…

Call us the golfophiles; the folks who need to find a way to weave our sometimes frustrating yet always beloved sport into whatever we are doing and wherever we are. Case in point: It was a Chamber of Commerce day; perhaps the most lovely Saturday of the summer so far. On a sandbar beach that appears off the shore of Massachusetts at every low tide, hundreds gathered. Beach chairs were set in circles; kites flew in the air. Adults and kids alike dipped in the Atlantic and a tiki hut boat served shoreside lobster rolls and hot dogs. Put simply:…

When news of Roman Anthony’s contract extension broke, one of the first people who reached out was fellow rookie Marcelo Mayer, who is one of Anthony’s closest friends in baseball. But while heaping praise on his teammate’s big extension during a pregame media scrum, Mayer was also asked if he’s been approached by the Red Sox about signing his own long-term contract. “No, not really,” Mayer said. “I’m not really focused on that right now, I’ve got a lot on my plate right now trying to get back on the field with my wrist and stuff, but we’re having a…

Well, the win streak is over. The game, honestly, was fairly predictable: Michael Wacha did Michael Wacha things and shoved, Dustin May performed above expectations but it wasn’t fantastic, and the Red Sox couldn’t get the lead back after they lost it. Three Studs: Romy Gonzalez: Went 2-4 today and also gave the Red Sox two runs with his RBI double in the bottom of the first. Trevor Story: Gave the Sox their 3rd run with an RBI single in the bottom of the 8th. It truly is the best to see him having a good season in Boston, after…
