Hugo Gonzalez sits It’s been a hectic couple of weeks for the Celtics’ first-round pick. Gonzalez was drafted hours after finishing his Spanish league season with Real Madrid, then went straight into Summer League practice with his new NBA club. The 19-year-old showed off his renowned motor in Boston’s Vegas opener against Memphis (12 points, five…

The good times keep rolling for Ceddanne Rafaela and the Red Sox, who officially go into the All-Star break as the hottest team in baseball. Rafaela delivered the exclamation mark again in Sunday’s 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, following his go-ahead knock on Thursday and his walk-off home run on Friday with a two-run shot in the bottom of the sixth that capped off a three-run rally. Trevor Story kicked that rally off with the go-ahead RBI single and Brayan Bello painted a gem, allowing one run over 6.1 innings to help complete the four-game sweep and give…
The New England Patriots underwent quite a few changes this offseason. Perhaps the biggest of the bunch saw them fire Jerod Mayo as their head coach, before quickly hiring Mike Vrabel to come in and be his replacement. Vrabel previously enjoyed a successful a strong six-season run as the Tennessee Titans’ head coach from 2018-2023, turning them into a surprisingly strong squad out of the AFC. As a player, Vrabel won three Super Bowls with New England as a star linebacker anchoring their defense. The hope is that Vrabel’s arrival will result in improvement across the board for the Patriots.…
Sunday marks the final game before the All-Star break, and the Red Sox have a chance to go into the second half riding a 10-game win streak. They also have a chance to sweep a division rival and shore up their playoff position in the process. The Red Sox will wrap up their four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday afternoon, with Brayan Bello (5-3, 3.27) set to take the mound against Tampa Bay’s Ryan Pepiot (6-6, 3.32). Coming in the Red Sox (52-45) hold a 1.5 game lead over the Rays (50-46). They are currently four games…
Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet pulled himself out of the 2025 MLB All-Star Game to keep his arm fresh for the second half of the season. Crochet earned his second straight All-Star nod amid a Cy Young-caliber campaign, but at an MLB-leading 120.1 innings pitched this season, the left-hander is already 25.2 innings away from matching his career-high. The 26-year-old left-hander understandably doesn’t want to add to that hefty workload during an exhibition. “For me, it’s just looking at my past four years,” Crochet said, per MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo. “In 2022, I threw zero innings. In ‘23, I threw…
Buon giorno, Herald readers. I’m back from my two-week Italian honeymoon and have some thoughts on the moves the Celtics made (and didn’t make) while I was away: — Brad Stevens said in his recent news conference at the Auerbach Center that the word “rebuild” is “not going to be part of the lexicon in (that) building” this season. Fair enough. But however you want to phrase it, there’s no denying that Boston’s current roster is the weakest the franchise has fielded in years. Consider this: If you include Jayson Tatum, who’s out indefinitely as he recovers from his ruptured…
The Boston Red Sox made an under-the-radar trade just days before the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. Blake Sabol was shipped off to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for cash considerations on Saturday, according to an announcement from Triple-A Worcester. Sabol, 27, appeared in just eight games this season for Boston before being outrighted off the active roster earlier this month, subjecting him to an eventual trade. Chicago did not need to make a corresponding transaction to acquire him, as he is now on a minor league contract and has been assigned to Triple-A Charlotte Sox Prospects’ Chris Hatfield pointed…
The Red Sox have won nine straight in honor of Teddy Ballgame, and in that span, we’ve seen Brayan Bello and Garrett Crochet pitch their first career complete games. Crochet’s came in an exclamation point of an end to his first half in Boston, as he finishes with a 2.32 ERA and 129.1 IP. His dominance was on display when he decided to use his sweeper 26% of the time (it’s been his fourth-most used pitch over the rest of the season) just for fun en route to allowing three total base runners and striking out nine. He got some…
