Trevor Story continues to make a strong case to win American League Comeback Player of the Year honors, and just recently became only the third shortstop in Boston Red Sox history to record 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in a season. Signed to a six-year $140 million deal before the 2022 season, Story battled injuries and inconsistency for much of his Red Sox tenure before putting it all together at the plate this season. With that said, Story added his latest career superlative on Tuesday when he connected on career home run No. 200 off Baltimore Orioles starter…

Lucas Giolito goes to the hill where he’s been hot and cold of late. Over his last four starts, Giolito has two excellent outings against the Astros and Marlins, where he allowed a total of two runs over a combined 14.1 inning of work, and then two stinkers where he struggled to throw strikes and only got through 4.2 inning of work against both the Padres and the Yankees. Still, the Red Sox are 14-4 in his last 18 starts, so when Giolito is on the bump, he generally gives the team a good chance to win.For the Orioles, Kyle…
By FABIOLA SÁNCHEZ MEXICO CITY (AP) — Boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. was released Sunday from a prison in northern Mexico where he was sent in August after being deported from the United States. The boxer, son of Mexican boxing great Julio César Chávez, is awaiting trial on accusations of involvement with cartels and illegally trafficking arms into Mexico. Chávez was released after a judge in the northern Mexican city of Hermosillo said he wouldn’t have to remain in custody while awaiting trial, but that he was prohibited from leaving Mexico, a federal agent told The Associated Press on condition…
Former first-round pick and starting left guard Cole Strange was among the 21 players the Patriots released Tuesday to meet the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline. Strange and fifth-round rookie outside linebacker Bradyn Swinson headlined a group of mostly expected cuts. Strange lost his starting job to third-round rookie Jared Wilson after the first week of training camp this summer, the team’s first under Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff. He also struggled to adapt to playing center and right guard, both new positions for a career-long left guard who experimented at center upon returning from a torn patellar tendon last season. Strange…
Jakobi Meyers reportedly requested a trade from the Raiders this week due to a contract dispute, and many Patriots fans believe New England should call Las Vegas. Maybe that will happen, maybe it won’t. However, based on reporting from NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry, there’s reason to believe the Patriots would be interested in trading for Meyers. “The Patriots were interested in Jakobi Meyers this offseason,” Perry said during Tuesday’s episode of 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Zolak & Bertrand” show. Perry, echoing NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, added that the Raiders weren’t interested in trading Meyers during the offseason and seemingly…

FOXBORO — Early in training camp, Drake Maye had a habit of opening team periods with a pass to to the same receiver. Stefon Diggs. Maye targeted Diggs no matter he lined up and no matter the route he was running just to find for an easy completion. Then, Maye often looked elsewhere and occasionally returned to his projected No. 1 receiver as the drill progressed. Naturally, as a second-year quarterback working with a four-time Pro Bowl wideout who wants the ball, Maye might feel pressure to do that again once the games begin. But not so fast. Maye said…
The Patriots granted veteran safety Marcus Epps’ request to be released on Tuesday, according to a source. Epps believed he was not a fit with the Patriots and asked to be released during Tuesday’s roster cutdowns. Epps, 29, had a quiet summer with the Patriots after signing a one-year contract as a free agent this offseason. The veteran defender entered the summer with six years of NFL experience under his belt, starting 45 games with the Eagles and Raiders. He entered the league in 2019 with the Vikings as a sixth-round pick out of Wyoming. The move leaves the Patriots…
The ability to shorten games with a bullpen is critical in baseball. The New York Yankees did it for years with Mariano Rivera, and now the Boston Red Sox are doing it with their own shutdown unit. Aroldis Chapman has been virtually unhittable this year, turning in the best season of his career. In 56 appearances this year, he’s 4-2 with a 1.06 ERA, a 0.69 WHIP, 3.0 WAR and 25 saves in 27 opportunities. His setup man, Garrett Whitlock, has been nearly as dominant. In 52 appearances, Whitlock’s 5-3 with a 2.67 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP and a career-best…
There’s only one way to read the situation involving Patriots defensive end Keion White: He’s fallen down the depth chart. “I know that he’s been surpassed on the depth chart,” Patriots insider Phil Perry said on the Patriots Talk podcast after New England’s preseason finale. White played 30 snaps in that preseason finale against the New York Giants. While fellow veteran pass-rushers Harold Landry III and K’Lavon Chaisson stood on the sidelines in street clothes, White was in a helmet and shoulder pads. It was the most glaring indication that he’s slid in the positional pecking order behind Chaisson, who…
