With each of their first three preseason opponents choosing to rest their regulars, the Celtics don’t yet have a clear picture of how their offseason additions will stack up against top competition. But the early returns from Boston’s quintet of rostered newcomers have been largely positive. Ahead of Wednesday night’s exhibition finale against the Toronto Raptors at TD Garden, here’s a look at how each new face on the 15-man roster has fared thus far: Anfernee Simons In his first time coming off the bench since Dec. 29, 2021, Simons showcased the type of explosive offensive potential he’ll bring to…

Mike Vrabel is no longer the last head coach to be fired by the Titans. But that won’t make his return Sunday to Tennessee any less intriguing. A day after the Patriots held off New Orleans 25-19 for a third straight road win, Vrabel took a peek ahead to their next trip to play the Titans. “Having spent six years there or seven years there, I think it’ll be nice to see some people that I haven’t seen in a few years that helped us win, players and staff,” Vrabel said Monday. “But we’ve got a huge job to do…
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is on a mission this season, proving he can be a franchise talent. His early success suggests he may even be a top-tier quarterback. After New England defeated the New Orleans Saints 25-19 on Sunday, Boston Sports Journal Patriots writer Greg A. Bedard believes Maye might soon make a push in the MVP race. “If he does this for the rest of the year, he’s headed for a top-five MVP season,” Bedard said on Sunday, via Patriots on CLNS. Maye significantly impacted the NFL landscape when the Patriots traveled to Buffalo last week and…
We never quite figured out why third-string catcher Ali Sanchez was ever in Boston to begin with, and now we may never know. As a minor leaguer who is not currently on the 40-man roster, Sanchez exercised his right to become a free agent, as did pitcher Nick Burdi. Sanchez made four appearances for the Sox this year, with each one coming as a 9th inning defensive replacement. He made just two plate appearances, failing to get on base and striking out once. Word on the street is that Sanchez is now planning on getting his MD, moving to a…
At times, it seemed like the Patriots were facing two opponents in Week 6. Of course, there were the Saints, whom the Patriots beat 25-19, but there were also the officials, who made some head-scratching calls against Mike Vrabel’s squad. The Patriots head coach was asked about how to fix the officiating on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” on Monday morning. “I got a tough enough job to coach this football team,” Vrabel said, laughing. “There’s not much. It becomes comical at a point, and they send these videos out every week, and they do a great job. (NFL rules…
BOSTON (AP) — Jayson Tatum wants to return to playing in an NBA game as soon as possible. He also doesn’t feel any added push for that to happen just five months after rupturing his right Achilles tendon.“No pressure,” Tatum said Monday at the Celtics’ media day. “No pressure to return back any sooner than when I’m 100% healthy. No pressure from (Celtics president of basketball operations) Brad (Stevens), (coach) Joe (Mazzulla), the team, the organization. The most important thing is that I’m 100% recovered and healthy whenever I do come back.”The All-Star looked game-ready as he took the dais to…
It’s been one week since Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow pumped the brakes on the club hiring a general manager. So no time like the present for the latest rumor on who could be moving on up. “At what point does the Red Sox director of player development Brian Abraham start getting mentioned — either here or elsewhere — as a GM candidate?” Masslive.com’s Sean McAdam wrote Sunday. “The Red Sox have consistently turned out top prospects from their system the last few seasons, and with all the emphasis industry-wide on internal development, Abraham should be on…

Entering last year’s Div. 1 state tournament, Lincoln-Sudbury could feel the wind behind its sails. It just finished its first unbeaten regular season in program history. Never in the power rankings era had previous Warriors teams earned a seed higher than No. 16, but they ranked No. 1. Confidence was at an all-time high. A longtime wellness teacher at the school, head coach Vicky Caburian is always urging her players and students to accept lessons in stride. When 17th-seeded King Philip upset L-S in the second round, that’s exactly the approach she looked for. A strong returning core isn’t treating…
LOUISIANA — Drake Maye didn’t do it alone in the Patriots’ 25-19 win over the Saints. The young quarterback had a lot of help from his offensive line as he completed over 69% of his passes for 261 yards with three touchdowns and no turnovers. And protecting his blindside was 2025 fourth-overall pick Will Campbell in his return to Louisiana. “It was super cool being able to come and play back home in my rookie season is pretty special,” Campbell said. “I grew up coming to games here. Played my first college game ever here, so getting to play here…
