The last Fenway Friday of August will be headlined by a thrilling pitching matchup between Red Sox top pitching prospect Payton Tolle, in his major league debut, and Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes. The Red Sox drafted Tolle in the second round of the ’24 draft, but he did not make his professional debut until April 8 of this year. After 11 games in High-A Greenville, the lefty was promoted to Double-A Portland on June 28, Triple-A Worcester on Aug. 10, and now, after just three starts for the WooSox, will take the mound at Fenway. At 22 years and…
Ranking the top 50 players in NBA history… 32. Bob Cousy Cousy was the original point guard and the NBA’s first superstar. Nicknamed “The Houdini of the Hardwood,” Cousy revolutionized the game with his innovative ball-handling and passing, leading the NBA in assists for eight consecutive seasons and becoming the first to reach 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 career assists. He averaged 18.4 points, 7.5 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game over 924 games. Story continues below advertisement Cousy was an All-Star in each of his 13 NBA seasons and won the NBA Most Valuable Player award in 1957 while leading…
The New England Patriots are parting ways with a veteran safety and former team captain. And we’re not talking about Kyle Dugger. The Patriots are releasing Jabrill Peppers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday. Peppers’ release is an eye-opener, as the 29-year-old still has $4.32 million guaranteed remaining on his contract and projected as a key contributor for New England in 2025. But as Patriots Insider Phil Perry noted Friday, Peppers’ skill set doesn’t quite mesh with New England’s new-look defense under head coach Mike Vrabel and defensive coordinator Terrell Williams. “For some of the same reasons Kyle Dugger (who is…
Three days after the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline, the Patriots are releasing veteran safety Jabrill Peppers in a surprise move, a source confirmed to the Herald. Peppers once projected to start for New England, having spent most of training camp with the first-team defense. The 29-year-old safety did take several snaps in the team’s preseason finale last week against the Giants, a decision coach Mike Vrabel explained by saying the coaching staff wanted him to get reps with fourth-round rookie Craig Woodson, another projected starter. “Pep’s played a couple of different spots and I wanted to just see him play…
When this past week’s crucial eight-game road trip began, the Red Sox were 27-34 away from Fenway Park and coming off a disappointing 2-3 homestand. With the postseason chase heating up, the Red Sox needed to turn things around on the road in a hurry, and boy, did they ever. Thursday the Red Sox completed their best road trip of the season, beating the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 to finish a four-game sweep and cap off a 7-1 trip. Romy Gonzalez drove in the go-ahead run with an RBI single in the top of the eighth, and Garrett Whitlock and Steven…
The New England Patriots worked hard on revamping their wide receiver room this offseason, with Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte being the only holdovers from 2024 on the roster currently. After signing Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in free agency and selecting Kyle Williams in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Pats already had the makings of a much better group than the one they had last season. Making things even better for the Patriots is the fact that they may have unearthed a diamond in the rough in undrafted rookie Efton Chism III. Chism earned the…
I won’t begrudge you for feeling like the world is mostly a hopeless cesspool right now. It very much is!But there are still things to get excited about, e.g.:Yes, Paul Skenes, the best young pitcher of his generation, is in town tonight. And the Red Sox are countering with Payton Tolle, the best pitching prospect the organization has produced in years, making his MLB debut. Skenes comes into tonight’s game having compiled a league-high 6.2 bWAR and a league-low 2.07 ERA this season. Tolle, on the other hand, will be playing on his fourth level of professional baseball in 2025…
The Patriots should not be finished amending their roster after Tuesday’s roster cuts and Wednesday’s waiver claims and practice squad signings. They should continue to scour the waiver wire for potential post-cutdown additions and keep calling teams about trades. Most trades occur before roster cuts, but there are some high-profile names still available. At the very least, the Patriots should be adding players to their practice squad who didn’t spend the summer in Foxboro. So far, 13 of the 17 practice squad players spent training camp with the Patriots. Since cuts, the Patriots claimed quarterback Tommy DeVito (Giants) and slot…
