FOXBORO — Tommy DeVito played deep into the Giants’ final preseason game last week, as sure a sign as any that the young quarterback wouldn’t be sticking around after cutdown day. But DeVito had a feeling where he was headed next. Turns out, he was right. The Patriots claimed the 27-year-old off waivers Wednesday, and a day later DeVito participated in his first practice with the team. DeVito is the Patriots’ new No. 3 quarterback behind Drake Maye and veteran backup Joshua Dobbs. In his final preseason appearance, DeVito carved up the Pats’ defensive reserves going 17-of-20 for 198 yards…

The Patriots have a new No. 3 quarterback, and it’s a player they recently watched tear their defense apart. The Patriots claimed quarterback Tommy DeVito off waivers from the Giants. DeVito was 17-of-20 for 198 yards with three touchdowns in the Giants’ preseason finale against the Patriots. DeVito, who’s nicknamed “Tommy Cutlets,” joins Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs on the Patriots’ quarterback depth chart. The Patriots also claimed cornerback Charles Woods from the Rams. One spot on the 53-man roster is already cleared after the Patriots agreed to release Kendrick Bourne. They’ll need to create one more spot for the…

The Patriots debuted new alternate uniforms on Thursday morning. The new uniforms are part of the “NFL Nike Rivalries” series. The Patriots will wear the light blue and white uniforms in Week 11 against the Jets. The “Nor’easter” uniforms feature a “storm blue” jersey and white helmet and don’t feature the team’s normal navy blue, red and silver color scheme. The Nor’easter is here.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora has shown his worth yet again this season. The Red Sox struggled to consistently perform during much of the first half, leading some fans to grow frustrated with Cora and point the finger at the 49-year-old manager. Now that Boston has turned things around and sits atop the American League wild-card standings with a 74-60 record (entering Thursday), the narrative around Cora has returned to something resembling its usual state: Cora is in the top tier of MLB managers. Cora’s performance in 2025 should be lauded for his capacity to deal with roster changes,…
Ask anybody involved with the Red Sox in any way whom they believe to be the best center fielder in baseball, and they won’t hesitate. It’s Ceddanne Rafaela. It was downright shocking, then, to see Rafaela make not one but two defensive gaffes on Wednesday night in Baltimore. Both were costly, too, as Rafaela dropped a ball while diving to allow a run to score in the bottom of the second and later didn’t take charge as a fly ball fell directly between him and left fielder Jarren Duran in the seventh, allowing another run to score. Both plays should…
At his introductory news conference back in February, Mike Vrabel detailed a simple but important goal for his first season as Patriots head coach: His team needed to be “good enough to take advantage of bad football.” Up the road in Chestnut Hill, a former New England coach is preaching a similar message. Bill O’Brien, whose maiden season at Boston College was derailed by a string of crippling late-game errors, is making “eliminate bad football” a top priority as he enters Year 2 with the Eagles. BC opens its season at 2 p.m. Saturday against Fordham at Alumni Stadium. “(We…
FOXBORO — It’s time for Efton Chism to find a permanent residence in New England. Chism’s inclusion on the Patriots’ 53-man roster didn’t come as a massive surprise after his breakout summer, but that didn’t make it any less sweet for the undrafted rookie. On Tuesday, during roster cuts, Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf called Chism into his office to deliver the good news that he had made the roster. “It was pretty surreal, pretty sweet,” Chism said. “Give him a couple hugs. Man, I couldn’t thank him enough. So pretty special moment.” Chism had an…
Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman is about as automatic as it gets these days. Chapman hasn’t allowed a hit in over a month, and it’s beginning to feel like he never will. The 37-year-old closed the door yet again on Wednesday night for the Red Sox as Boston defeated the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards, 3-2, behind a ninth-inning, two-run blast from Ceddanne Rafaela. Here’s a question sort of out of nowhere: does Chapman deserve Cy Young consideration in the American League? It’s not impossible for relievers to win the award, although it rarely happens. Los Angeles Dodgers closer…
That game went differently than we all anticipated! The game had started with a bang, thanks to our Young Gun Roman Anthony hitting another leadoff home run. But then the Orioles were able to tie the game on a bloop hit that the outfield couldn’t quite get to, and then they took the lead on an RBI single that should’ve been an easy out, but Duran and Rafaela failed to communicate. The offense had only put up 5 hits all game and had failed to bring runners home in the top of the eighth, when Wong and Hamilton were on…
