If Wyc Grousbeck had his way, his family would not have sold its majority stake in the Celtics. But Boston’s former lead governor is excited to remain involved with what he called a “great” new ownership group. Seated to Bill Chisholm’s left during the new majority owner’s introductory news conference on Thursday, Grousbeck admitted the sale process — which he called “an 18-month journey” that began with his family voting to sell the team — was a difficult experience for him. “This was a challenge to wrap my head around this,” said Grousbeck, the face of the Celtics’ prior ownership…

In what may have been his final start of the 2025 regular season, Garrett Crochet delivered. The Boston Red Sox ace was on top of his game, firing eight shutout innings against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on Wednesday. He scattered three hits and no walks while striking out six, pitching the Red Sox to a 7-1 victory and moving them one step closer to a playoff berth. While Crochet could still pitch Sunday on short rest if absolutely needed, that seems unlikely now with Boston’s magic number at one. All the Red Sox need to do is…

TORONTO — Brayan Bello is nearing the end of a standout year with the Red Sox, but the past couple of outings haven’t gone smoothly. Taking the mound one last time in the regular season, Bello will look to finish on a high note. Bello (11-8, 3.34) will get the start Thursday as the Red Sox look to complete a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. With a magic number of one the Red Sox can clinch a postseason berth with a win tonight, though a loss by the Houston Astros earlier Thursday would also be enough to punch…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Christian Gonzalez wanted to play in the New England Patriots’ loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.After being held out by coach Mike Vrabel, Gonzalez appears to be on track to make his season debut this week against Carolina.The cornerback practiced in only a limited basis prior to the Pittsburgh game, but Vrabel said Wednesday that the plan this week is to ramp up Gonzalez’s participation with the goal of him being active Sunday versus the Panthers.“Yeah, I think that’s the plan,” Vrabel said. “I’m excited about his efforts and willingness to get back and work hard in practice last…
The Boston Red Sox appear destined to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2021. The club’s magic number is down to one, meaning the next Houston Astros loss or Red Sox win will send Boston to the postseason. But who the Red Sox will play remains quite uncertain. Masslive.com’s Chris Cotillo broke it all down on X: “In all likelihood, Red Sox will be traveling to NY, TOR, CLE or DET for a Wild Card Series starting Tuesday,” Cotillo posted. But if the Red Sox clinch on Thursday, that puts some wheels in motion. “(It) allows the…
Robert Kraft and his family have owned 100 percent of the New England Patriots since purchasing the team in 1994. That’s about to change, it appears. The private equity firm Sixth Street has a deal in place to acquire 3 percent of the Patriots from the Kraft family, Ben Fischer of the Sports Business Journal reports. Per Fischer, the deal is part of Kraft’s plan to divest 8 percent of the Patriots franchise, which is currently valued at $9.25 billion, per CNBC. The buyer of the other 5 percent is currently unknown, Fischer reports, but both deals are expected to…
FOXBORO — Progress has not always been linear for Drake Maye, but the future still looks bright for the young Patriots quarterback. It appears Maye is beginning to take a second-year leap this season while playing for a new head coach in Mike Vrabel, in a new system under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and with improved pass-catchers and an upgraded offensive line. But Maye has also still played inconsistently through the first three weeks of the season as he’s led the Patriots to a 1-2 record. Depending on what stat you’re weighing, Maye has either already ascended into the upper…
I breathed in as I stepped up to take my first drive ever at Scituate’s famed Widow’s Walk Golf Course, trying to set aside my fear. Fear? What a crazy golf concept. But the legend of Widow’s Walk runs deep. It’s super hard, they say. The wind will mess with your game and your mind, they claim. Bring a ton of balls, they warn with a wink; go into the deep fescue off the narrow fairways and you can’t find your ball even if it’s the the size of watermelon. As a developing golfer, I wasn’t sure I was ready…
The Sox are doing what’s been asked of them, by getting wins and taking series in the midst of this final gauntlet to the postseason. The Blue Jays have spooked the Sox all season, especially in Toronto, but Boston has taken this series when it may matter most. There was lots of good stuff for me to write about today!Garrett Crochet: You couldn’t have asked for a better start from him, and he was so efficient against the slumping Blue Jays that he was able to go 8 innings. His final line was 8 IP, 3 hits, 0 runs, 0…
