A Ronald Acuña Jr. trade rumor is gaining steam — and the Boston Red Sox are at the center of the noise. The Atlanta Braves are stumbling into July at 39-46, and with their playoff hopes fading fast, the possibility of a seismic move is creeping into the conversation. “Some have now publicly suggested that the Braves should consider, if they are not already, trading their 27-year-old all-world superstar,” Ian Miller of Outkick wrote. The Red Sox are emerging as a potential landing spot. Boston team president and CEO Sam Kennedy confirmed Thursday that team ownership is “willing to go…

Juan Rivera was already familiar with Payton Tolle. The Portland Sea Dogs pitching coach had worked closely with Tolle during spring training, and even then he could tell the club’s second-round draft pick from the prior summer had a bright future. But when Tolle joined the Sea Dogs last week, Rivera could immediately tell the big left-hander had made considerable strides. “He is so much better now than he was in spring training,” Rivera said. “That’s the first thing that popped into my head.” Tolle was promoted to Double-A Portland last week after a brilliant first half with High-A Greenville,…
The Boston Celtics suddenly have a golden opportunity to add another superstar to their roster. On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Bucks shockingly waived superstar guard Damian Lillard and will pay the remainder of his contract over the next five years. The Celtics — along with the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors — are “known to be among the many teams” eyeing Lillard on the free-agent market, per The Athletic. Lillard is 34 years old and likely to miss the 2025-26 season after suffering a torn Achilles in the NBA playoffs. Still, he’s an intriguing option for a Celtics team…

The Boston Red Sox still have a window to change the trajectory of their season, but they are running out of chances. Boston enters Fourth of July weekend with a 43-45 record, opening a three-game series against the Washington Nationals with plenty to prove. Sloppy defense, baserunning mistakes, and bullpen struggles have kept them from gaining traction in the American League playoff race. But there is still hope, if the players give the front office a reason to act. Team president Sam Kennedy told The Greg Hill Show on Thursday that Red Sox ownership has given the green light for…
Worcester, Game 1: L, 2-5 (BOX SCORE) Kyle Harrison was trotted out to begin this double-header against the Mets… he did not look great, giving up runs in each of the first three innings he pitched, including home runs by Francisco Alvarez and old friend Pablo Reyes. Wyatt Mills put this game further out of reach by allowing a home run of his own. The only offense this game featured on Worcester’s end was a Vaughn Grissom double and a Trayce Thompson home run. After that homer, the WooSox were sitting decently pretty, but, as in Boston, things went awry…

The Department of Homeland Security said officials determined Chávez should be arrested on June 27, a day before the fight. It was unclear why they waited to act for days after the high-profile event.The 39-year-old boxer, according to his attorney Michael…

The New England Patriots have high hopes for their 2025 campaign, and that’s due in large part to second-year quarterback Drake Maye. While things didn’t go his way in 2024 as a rookie, there’s reason to believe things will be different during his sophomore campaign. After being selected with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Maye initially started the year on the bench before eventually being handed the keys to the offense. In 13 games, he threw for 2,276 yards and 15 touchdowns, while also rushing for 421 yards and another pair of scores. That Maye…
