When the Boston Red Sox traded Rafael Devers on Sunday, the team acquired four players who the front office believes will make major contributions to the organization. With right-hander Jordan Hicks working his way back from a stint on the 15-day injured list, and southpaw Kyle Harrison yet to take the mound with Triple-A Worcester, the Red Sox new No. 6 ranked prospect James Tibbs III has already reported to Double-A Portland. He hasn’t wasted any time turning heads. Following a 1-for-3 showing in Portland’s game Tuesday, Tibbs’ name was all over the box score during his third game with…

The Red Sox publicly insist that they are not throwing in the towel on the 2025 season, which makes sense, given that they’ve climbed back over .500 and into the Wild Card race. Meanwhile, the Sox’ NL counterpart when it comes to disappointing seasons, the Atlanta Braves, remain under .500. This situation has led many to call the Red Sox potential buyers, and the Braves potential sellers. And, however you feel about the events that have transpired over the past few months, I think we can all agree on one thing: Craig Breslow trading for Chris Sale would be freaking…
By LESLIE AMBRIZ LOS ANGELES (AP) — As fans removed their caps and stood for the national anthem Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, they were met with a surprising rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Latin pop and R&B singer Nezza stood in front of the crowd, closed her eyes and belted the song out — in Spanish. Her 90-second rendition, and a behind-the-scenes video she shared on social media of team representatives discouraging it beforehand, quickly went viral and have become a flashpoint for Dodgers fans frustrated by the team’s lack of vocal support for immigrant communities impacted by the…
With Wilyer Abreu set to return from the injured list ahead of Friday’s series opener against the San Francisco Giants, the Red Sox are sending one of their “big three” prospects to Triple-A. According to a Red Sox source, Kristian Campbell is being optioned to Worcester to clear a spot on the active roster for Abreu. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was first to report news of the Campbell demotion. Entering the year as MLB’s No. 4 prospect, according to Baseball America, Campbell got off to a tremendous start before falling into a deep and prolonged slump. The 22-year-old infielder earned American…
As far as trades are concerned, the August 2020 deal that sent Brandon Workman, Heath Hembree and cash considerations to the Philadelphia Phillies pales in comparison to the Boston Red Sox shocking trade of Rafael Devers. While more of a footnote than a franchise-altering transaction, the Red Sox thought they got a nice return in the deal when they acquired right-handers Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold. All told, the trade proved to be a minor success for former chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom as Pivetta pitched five seasons in Boston. The same cannot be said of Seabold, who later was…

IPSWICH – When George Norris lost his life after a tragic biking accident in 2020, his son Jack wanted to do something to honor his memory. Five years later, Norris and several of his friends will be hosting the fifth annual George Norris 3-on-3 Charity Basketball Tournament on Saturday at Ipswich High School. Every year the tournament has grown in terms of number of teams, money raised for charity, and social media engagement. “This will be the biggest tournament to date,” Norris said. “Special thanks to my family, church family, work families, and friends for helping out year after year.…
WORCESTER – Virtually everything is new and strange for Kyle Harrison, the former San Francisco Giants left-hander sent to Boston as one-fourth of the trade return for Rafael Devers this week. He grew up in Concord, Calif., a city roughly an hour’s drive from the Giants’ Oracle Park, and was drafted by his hometown team in 2020. He is, as he described himself earlier this week in his first media availability since the trade, a “west coast kid” through and through. But there was one familiar face when Harrison arrived at Polar Park, the Red Sox’s Triple-A home, on Tuesday evening:…
Kristian Campbell is back to square one. The Boston Red Sox elected to send the infielder back to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. Ian Browne of MLB.com confirmed the news, noting that it leaves room for Wilyer Abreu’s return from the injured list. Campbell, 22, has seen his quality of play drop off tremendously over the last month-plus. Boston signed him to an eight-year, $60 million contract this spring, and it looked like an absolute steal as he was hitting .301/.407/.495 at the end of April, but those numbers have slipped considerably with a .159/.243/.222…
Should the Boston Celtics trade up in the 2025 NBA Draft to select a player who could make a meaningful impact as a rookie? The C’s are one of only three teams in the second apron of the luxury tax, which limits their ability to add players via trade and free agency. Therefore, the upcoming draft is likely the best avenue for the Celtics to add young, cost-controlled young players. More Celtics Draft Fits: But the Celtics own the No. 28 pick near the end of Round 1. There are usually a couple good players near the end of the…
