So you’re saying there’s a chance? Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow remains focused on finding a starting pitcher ahead of Thursday’s 6 p.m. ET trade deadline. That quest could lead Breslow to the Baltimore Orioles, who continue to shop Charlie Morton. “Some of the more coveted starters aren’t having their best years — including Zac Gallen (5.60 ERA), Charlie Morton (5.48) and Sandy Alcantara (6.66),” the New York Post’s Jon Heyman wrote Tuesday. “But with strong track records (and a playoff résumé in Morton’s case), plus a weak starter market, all are drawing significant interest. “Gallen and Morton should go…

Kayshon Boutte began New England Patriots training camp battling for a roster spot. Through six practices, the third-year wide receiver has made a strong case for a key role in the offense. Boutte has been among the most impressive pass-catchers in Pats camp to this point. NBC Sports Boston’s Tom E. Curran and Phil Perry raved about the 2023 sixth-round draft pick after Monday’s practice, and they did so again after Tuesday’s pass-heavy session. Curran believes Boutte has the skill set to emerge as a go-to option for quarterback Drake Maye this season. He hopes veteran Stefon Diggs can serve…
Patriots training camp is officially one week old. Let’s dive into readers questions in our weekly mailbag. @JuicePickm: Who’s your biggest winner and biggest loser thus far If I’m giving my true biggest winner right now, it would be cornerback D.J. James, a practice squad player from last season who seems to make a pass breakup or two every practice. He also had the first interception of camp. The Seahawks 2024 sixth-round pick is making a strong case for a roster spot. But out of, I guess, more relevant players, wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, rookie offensive lineman Jared Wilson and…

Pop Quiz! The Minnesota Twins sent five pitchers to the mound tonight with the follow last names: Ohl Tonkin Funderburk Sands Varland Can you give me the first name of any of them? To be fair, this was largely a throw away game for Minnesota, who essentially penciled themselves in for a loss earlier this week when they traded away tonight’s originally scheduled starter Chris Paddack to Detroit. With their rotation in shambles, the Twins turned to a guy with the last name of Ohl (I’m still not giving the answer yet), who made his major league debut and gave…
Charlie McAvoy is in a good place physically and mentally. That much was clear when he was all smiles coming off the sheet at Warrior Ice Arena on Tuesday. But the last time we spoke with the Bruins’ top defenseman, that wasn’t the case. It was on break-up day in April and, for the first time in his pro career, the B’s had not made the playoffs. Weighing even more heavily on his mind was the shoulder injury and infection he had suffered during the Four Nations tournament that cost him the rest of the season. Physically, he was just…
Garrett Whitlock was unavailable for the Boston Red Sox on Monday due to sickness. He was reportedly hooked up to an IV before the game. The sickness was caused by a turbulent plane ride that had to make an unscheduled pit stop in Detroit. Whitlock returned to the mound on Tuesday and pitched a scoreless eighth inning. With the sickness behind them, the Red Sox made the most of the story and unveiled a new celebration. Throughout their 8-5 win over the Minnesota Twins, Red Sox players mimed an airplane after extra base hits. After the game, the Red Sox…
Byron Buxton went on the 10-day injured list before the game, Carlos Correa exited the game after two innings, and it was 25-year-old right-hander Pierson Ohl’s big-league debut. After falling to the Minnesota Twins late Monday night following a frustrating weather delay between the top and bottom of the ninth, Tuesday presented a prime opportunity for the Red Sox, if they could only seize it. Capitalizing consistently isn’t this team’s greatest strength, but you wouldn’t know it watching them in this 8-5 Red Sox win. After slow and frustrating goings in the early innings – Jarren Duran’s two-out double in…

Linebacker R.J. Moten made his Patriots practice debut Tuesday, wearing No. 46. Moten, an undrafted rookie out of Florida, joined New England following a stint with the Michigan Panthers in the UFL. A former safety at the University of Michigan, the 6-foot, 224-pound Moten tallied 88 total tackles, two sacks and five passes defended across 88 collegiate games. To clear a 90-man roster spot, the Patriots placed UDFA fullback Brock Lampe on injured reserve. Signed in May out of Northern Illinois, Lampe was viewed as a viable candidate to crack the 53-man roster, as offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ scheme traditionally…
