A recent exercise reflected just how much the Boston Red Sox bolstered their roster last offseason. Boston made several key acquisitions entering the 2025 season. MLB.com’s Thomas Harrigan recognized three of them when ranking the top-10 offseason additions. Harrigan placed the Aroldis Chapman signing ninth, which some fans may argue is too low amid the closer’s dominant stretch. Alex Bregman resides one spot higher, and Harrigan named Garrett Crochet the No. 1 offseason move. Crochet drew the top spot over the New York Mets signing Juan Soto, the San Diego Padres signing former Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta and…

The expectation is now reality: Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez will not play in New England’s season opener against the Raiders. Gonzalez has been sidelined since July 28 with a hamstring injury. Missing your most talented defender isn’t the best way to start the season. Especially with “terrific” skill players on the other side of the ball, which is how Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel referred to the group led by First Team All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers, rookie running back Ashton Jeanty and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. “Everybody’s got to be ready to go,” Vrabel said at Gillette Stadium on…
Realignment is coming to Major League Baseball. It’s not a matter of if, but when. At some point in the next decade MLB is going to expand to 32 teams. Commissioner Rob Manfred has said in the past he hopes to have the two new clubs chosen by the time he retires in 2029, and recently at the Little League Classic he suggested that moment would be a good opportunity for the league to geographically realign its divisions. Rob Manfred says that MLB could geographically re-align if the league expands (via @ESPN) pic.twitter.com/w1g510LIUS — SNY (@SNYtv) August 18, 2025 “I…

Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is now a winner at the college football level! Belichick’s North Carolina Tar Heels entered the W column on Saturday with a 20-3 victory over the Charlotte 49ers, a football program that has only been in existence since 2013. But hey, a win is a win. Wondering if any NFL scouts were in the bleachers for the game? Don’t lose any sleep over it. Belichick made headlines this week for banning Patriots scouts from his Tar Heel practices, a move that was universally graded by pundits as a petty one. The Athletic’s…

CHICAGO (AP) — Jonathan Bamba, Philip Zinckernagel and Hugo Cuypers each scored a goal on Saturday night to help the Chicago Fire beat the New England Revolution 3-2. André Franco made his second MLS appearance and had two assists — his first career goal contributions — for the Fire. Franco, a 27-year-old midfielder, was acquired Aug. 13 on loan from Portuguese powerhouse FC Porto and made his debut for Chicago on Aug. 23.

The Red Sox dropped a third straight game late Saturday night, falling 5-1 to the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was their sixth straight loss to Arizona. The last four starting pitchers for the Red Sox have delivered shaky or out-of-character performances, including Saturday’s pitcher, Lucas Giolito, who allowed four runs and walked three while only striking out two. Masataka Yoshida, who batted in the leadoff spot for the first time in his Major League career, drove in the sole Red Sox run. Ceddanne Rafaela made a spectacular catch to rob a home run from Corbin Carroll. For more, check out the…
