Expectations have been significantly raised for the Patriots in 2026. In Year 1 under new head coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots went 14-3 during the regular season and unexpectedly made the Super Bowl after finishing 4-13 in consecutive seasons. Now it’s about figuring out how to get back to the Super Bowl and win it all. Vrabel and top front-office executives Eliot Wolf, Ryan Cowden and John Streicher have over $40 million in cap space (with other means to free up more) and 11 selections in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Herald is publishing a daily series with five offseason…
The Boston Red Sox infield will look much different in 2026. Veteran third baseman Alex Bregman was a one-and-done in Boston as he left for the Chicago Cubs in free agency. He’ll likely be replaced at the hot corner by either Marcelo Mayer or newcomer Caleb Durbin. First baseman Willson Contreras and utility man Isiah Kiner-Falefa have also entered the equation. The Red Sox traded for Contreras to address their need for a right-handed bat, and later signed Kiner-Falefa as a versatile infield depth option. Boston will need its infield defense to improve next season, because the revamped starting rotation…

In making his announcement, Cora described the right-hander as “intriguing.” “Different arm angle,” the manager said, “throws a lot of strikes.” The Red Sox selected Uberstine, now 26, in the 19th round of the 2019 draft.

Last November the Red Sox added Uberstine to…
