With two days left before Major League Baseball’s trade deadline, the Boston Red Sox have remained quiet so far, with rumors beginning to swirl around a couple of the team’s American League East rivals. With the Red Sox currently sitting 6.5 games behind the division-leading Toronto Blue Jays and owning the third Wild Card spot leading into action on Tuesday, it appears it’s only a matter of time before chief baseball officer of the Red Sox Craig Breslow pulls the trigger on an impact trade. And while the New York Yankees have already completed deals for third baseman Ryan McMahon…
If you didn’t stay up for the end of last night’s Red Sox game, I’m very jealous of you. A 90-minute rain delay, followed by a reliever who fully warmed up and then was told to sit back down hitting two hitters and surrendering the lead, is a tough way to lose a ballgame. Hopefully, Aroldis Chapman and Garrett Whitlock are feeling better tomorrow, so we don’t run into the same issue. In other news, I caught a fly ball off my own chin last night in my softball game when I misjudged it and deflected off the top of…
FOXBORO — Star Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez limped off the practice field Monday after suffering an apparent leg injury. Gonzalez sustained the injury while covering wide receiver Stefon Diggs early in 11-on-11 drills. After Diggs caught the pass from quarterback Drake Maye, Gonzalez grabbed the back of his left leg, then walked slowly toward the medical shed, flanked by team trainers. The nature and severity of Gonzalez’s injury were not immediately clear, but he did not return to the practice, which was the Patriots’ first in full pads. Regarded as one of the NFL’s best young corners, Gonzalez earned second-team…
FOXBORO – “Real football” started Monday when the Patriots strapped on the pads for the fifth day of training camp. Per the NFL collective bargaining agreement, teams are not permitted to hold padded practices until Day 5 of training camp. The Patriots held their previous practices as walk-throughs or in shells, helmets and shorts. The weather didn’t let up as players carried extra weight with humid temperatures in the 80s and a real feel creeping up into the 90s and 100s. The bleachers bordering the practice fields were mostly packed for Monday’s session despite being held on a workday in…
Ja’Lynn Polk is under more pressure this summer than perhaps anyone on the New England Patriots roster. But the embattled second-year receiver apparently got off to a strong start in training camp, albeit a delayed one. Polk, terrible as a rookie after being drafted as a second-round pick, missed the first three practices of camp due to a reported soft-tissue injury. It was bad news for a player who underwent shoulder surgery during the offseason and entered camp on the Patriots’ roster bubble. However, Polk returned for Monday’s practice, which marked the first time the Patriots wore full pads. And…

FOXBORO — When it comes to training camp fights, Mike Vrabel wants his players to do as he says, not as he did. Before the Patriots took the field for their first padded practice of the new season, Vrabel was asked to recall his first day in full pads as a Steelers rookie in 1997, during which he got into it with a Pittsburgh tight end. The scrap itself wasn’t especially memorable, Vrabel said, but the reaction to it was. His intensity earned him the respect of All-Pro linebacker Greg Lloyd, who’d completely ignored the third-round draft pick up to…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Cornerback Christian Gonzalez left the Patriots’ first full-pads practice of training camp on Monday with a lower body injury.Gonzalez limped off the field following a play during 11-on-11 drills in which he had been matched up with receiver Stefon Diggs. Gonzalez left the field under his own power, but was attended to by the training staff in an area adjacent to the field. He then exited the field in the direction of the locker room and didn’t return.Gonzalez earned second-team All-Pro honors last season. He had two interceptions, 59 tackles and 11 pass breakups in 16 games.A first-round…
The Boston Red Sox have endured their fair share of fluky and frustrating losses this year, but Monday’s 5-4 loss against the Minnesota Twins was especially painful. Coming off consecutive comeback wins against the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend, the Red Sox appeared poised for their third straight win after taking a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth at Target Field. But with only three outs to go, Mother Nature suddenly intervened. A rain delay halted the game for 90 minutes in the middle of the ninth, sapping Boston’s momentum and allowing the Twins to regroup. When…
