The Boston Red Sox made a huge commitment on Wednesday when the team finalized an eight-year $130 million contract extension with rookie outfielder Roman Anthony that will keep the talented young slugger in a Red Sox uniform for a very long time. The deal, which could reach $230 million with escalator clauses built in, seemingly came out of nowhere, and with Anthony now in the fold until at least the 2034 season, the Red Sox’s young core is mostly locked up for the foreseeable future. News of Anthony’s contract extension moved like wildfire through social media and beyond, with former…

By signing Roman Anthony to an eight-year contract extension, Wednesday could go down as a momentous day in Red Sox history. Just don’t ask how things went later that night.

FOXBORO — Patriots quarterback Drake Maye took a positive step forward Wednesday in one of his biggest tests of training camp. Maye has been facing off against the same defense running the same scheme since the spring, so Wednesday’s joint practice against the Commanders presented a new challenge. Maye passed it — maybe without flying colors — but Wednesday served as a win for the second-year pro. “I thought we moved well. It was good playing against another team, having all our guys out there and kind of getting the rhythm, build some plays together, and move the ball,” Maye…

Asked how much Drake Maye and the Patriots’ starters will play, Vrabel said he expects the majority of the Patriots’ healthy players to suit up against Washington “Again, (we’re) focused on today and they’ll get a lot of reps today, different situations. And again, I would say most everybody that’s healthy should expect to play in the game. How long they’ll play, I don’t know,” Vrabel said. “But we have to prepare to play in football…

The New England Patriots have a lot of competition on their roster in training camp this year, but easily the most competitive position of them all has been wide receiver, where several players are competing for one or two spots on the 53-man roster. Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams appear to be the locks at this spot. That leaves Ja’Lynn Polk, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Javon Baker and Efton Chism III competing for the final roster spots at wide receiver. Early at training camp, Boutte has emerged as a standout performer, increasing the likelihood he will…
