The Red Sox reached the playoffs for the first time since 2021, but their postseason run lasted all of three days after the club was eliminated by the Yankees in the Wild Card round. Time to hand out some year-end grades. Today we look at the infielders, who for better or worse played a sizable role in both getting the Red Sox to the playoffs and in the team’s ultimate defeat. For our purposes Ceddanne Rafaela and Nate Eaton will be considered outfielders even though both saw notable playing time in the infield, while Nick Sogard will be ranked with…

After a shaky, injury-riddled season, Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller redeemed himself in one night… only after giving up a leadoff homer to George Springer on the first pitch, though, and likely giving Mariners fans heartburn along with it. Miller composed himself and shut down the Jays after that, making it through six innings without further damage. Kevin Gausman was just as effective for Toronto until giving up a huge, game-tying blast to Cal Raleigh to start a two-run sixth inning. Are the M’s starting to have that team of destiny feeling to them?Talk about what you want and be good…
By TERESA M. WALKER NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans started this season knowing the franchise is rebuilding with lots of work required to become a good program. Brian Callahan didn’t produce enough growth six games into his second season, and that cost him his job on Monday, when he became the first NFL coach fired this season. “We want to win as many football games as we can possibly win,” Chad Brinker, the Titans’ president of football operations, said Monday night. “But we preached and talked about the growth, and we just have not seen the growth with…
The Bruins showed plenty of gumption, but they could not outhustle their mistakes on Monday at the Garden. They had their chances to complete a comeback from a three-goal deficit – incurred by a series of their own miscues – but the B’s fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-3, suffering their first loss of the young season. Entering the third period down a goal, the B’s pushed hard but could not get the equalizer. The Lightning came into the game with some urgency after losing their first two of the season and, in the early going, the B’s were…
For two decades, the New England Patriots dominated the AFC East, winning a staggering 17 division titles in 19 seasons from 2001 to 2019. Since Tom Brady left the Patriots, however, the Buffalo Bills have taken over, winning five consecutive AFC East titles from 2020 to 2024. The Bills appeared well on their way to a sixth straight division crown this year after starting the season 4-0. They’ve lost their last two games, however, allowing New England to pass them in the standings. While both teams are 4-2 after Week 6, the first-place Patriots hold the tiebreaker after beating Buffalo…

The Bruins played their second game without Hampus Lindholm (lower body, day-to-day), but his replacement Jordan Harris has not let them miss him too much. After setting up Pavel Zacha for a goal in the B’s 3-1 win over Buffalo on Saturday, the Haverhill native’s first goal as a Bruin on Monday helped keep the B’s in the game, though they would eventually lose to the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-3. “He had a really good game last game and today he was solid again. I can’t really say anything bad about him. He works and does his job,” said coach…
Mike Vrabel has made it clear to his players that he won’t shy away from calling them out about things they need to correct.He also doesn’t want to miss an opportunity to praise them.“Give them all game balls on me!” Vrabel shouted as he wrapped his postgame speech in the locker room following the Patriots’ 25-19 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.It was New England’s third consecutive victory, something the Patriots (4-2) haven’t achieved since 2022. It also improved their road mark to 3-0, which Vrabel said his young team should celebrate.“I think that there’s a good balance that can…
For as big of a story as the New England Patriots have been through Week 6 at 4-2, there’s still one glaringly obvious weakness on the team. The Patriots’ ground game ranks 26th in the NFL with 91.5 rushing yards per game. Could a certain “King” be a good fit for New England’s rushing attack? The Ringer’s Bill Simmons floated a blockbuster trade idea between the Patriots and Baltimore Ravens on Monday that would send five-time Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry to New England. Simmons’ trade proposal ships Patriots starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson and a second-round pick to…
It is a big if. A series of ifs, actually. Ultimately, though, it boils down to this: There’s reason to believe Josh McDaniels would pursue a head coaching gig if an opportunity presents itself with a stable organization. “I love living in New England. That’s the short of it,” McDaniels responded last week when asked if he would be content with coaching Drake Maye for the remainder of his career. “I just try to focus on now, really enjoying coaching for Mike (Vrabel). …That would be surprising if I moved my kids out of Westwood.” Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer joined…
