The world’s most prominent and connected baseball reporter is out with yet another exposé on the Red Sox front office in the wake of the Rafael Devers trade. If you don’t want to read it, that’s fine — it covers a lot of the same ground as the others did. But there are a few pieces in here that are going to have people talking. The first is a refutation of the earlier rumor that Raffy was upset about Kristian Campbell working out at first (several sources denied it). The second is this: Since the cuts, Breslow’s circle of trust…

Following the injury to Triston Casas, Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro have been handling first base duties for the Boston Red Sox. They’ve performed admirably, but the position remains one the team may look to upgrade. The Athletic’s Jim Bowden wrote that the Red Sox could look to acquire Washington Nationals first baseman Nathaniel Lowe. The Nationals acquired Lowe in the offseason via a trade with the Texas Rangers. His stats at the plate aren’t exceptional right now. He’s hitting .227 with 10 home runs so far this season. The lefty has also seen his walk rate fall from a…
By JIMMY GOLEN, Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Dozens of widows and other caregivers for former NFL players diagnosed with CTE say a published study is insulting and dismissive of their experience living with the degenerative brain disease that has been linked to concussions and other repeated head trauma common in contact sports like football. An open letter signed by the players’ wives, siblings and children says the study published in the May 6 issue of Frontiers in Psychology suggests their struggles caring for loved ones was due to “media hype” about chronic traumatic encephalopathy, rather than the disease itself.…
WORCESTER – If anyone has walked a mile in the shoes of the four players joining the Red Sox organization this week from the Rafael Devers trade, it’s Vaughn Grissom. Like them, he is, through no fault of his own, irrevocably linked to a franchise legend. The Red Sox acquired him right before New Year’s 2024, when they sent Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves. “That was pretty crazy,” Grissom told the Herald of the Devers trade, which he and his WooSox teammates found out after boarding the bus to return to Worcester from a series with the Phillies’ Triple-A affiliate…

The Bruins didn’t wait to see if Pete DeBoer got fired by the Stars before hiring their new head coach Marco Sturm, but they did make a key hire from the Dallas staff. The B’s announced on Friday that they have hired long-time assistant Steve Spott, who had been running the power play under DeBoer for the last three season. The 57-year-old Spott previously was an assistant in Vegas, San Jose and Toronto. More to follow… Originally Published: June 20, 2025 at 9:49 AM EDT Source link
The Boston Red Sox sent Rafael Devers packing in a blockbuster trade to the San Francisco Giants that shook up the landscape of the league. One guy who could be impacted by this trade is former All-Star third baseman Matt Chapman. One of the biggest questions that popped up as a result of this trade is where Devers will end up playing for the Giants. As Red Sox fans know far too well, Devers was not happy with getting moved from position to position this year. At third base is Chapman, who is one of the best defenders in the…

The New England Patriots have selected three wide receivers over the last two NFL Drafts, and for their offense to reach its maximum potential this coming season, at least one of them needs to step up and be a reliable contributor. Kyle Williams could be that guy. The Patriots drafted the Washington State wideout with the No. 69 pick (third round) in the 2025 draft. He tallied career highs with 70 receptions, 1,198 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns for the Cougars during the 2024 season. Speaking at a Boston youth football clinic Thursday, Williams explained his mindset when it comes…
WORCESTER — When Triston Casas sustained a season-ending knee injury, the Red Sox’s first base plans were thrown into disarray. The team had so little depth that for a while the club considered shifting rookie Kristian Campbell to the position. But while the Red Sox eventually found an answer in Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro, another prospect has emerged as a potential alternative down the road. Blaze Jordan is enjoying a breakout season and recently earned a promotion to Triple-A Worcester after spending nearly two years at Double-A Portland. The 22-year-old infielder, originally a third-round pick in the 2020 MLB…
