The 2024-25 campaign did not end the way either the Boston Celtics nor Jayson Tatum were hoping for. Still, that doesn’t mean the work Tatum put in on a nightly basis should be overlooked. On Monday, the Celtics ensured that wouldn’t be the case. Boston’s season effectively ended when Tatum ruptured his Achilles in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the New York Knicks. The C’s managed to keep their season alive with a win in Game 5, before the Knicks eliminated them in Game 6. Now, the biggest storyline entering the offseason is Tatum’s rehab. After…

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jordan Hicks, a native Houston, Texas. He began his major league career with the St. Louis Cardinals and spent the majority of his rookie contract in the Midwest before being traded to the Blue Jays at the 2023 deadline. After half a season north of the border, Hicks signed a four year contract with the San Francisco Giants, who just traded him to the Red Sox for Rafael Devers. What position does he play? He’s a right-handed pitcher. He’s pitched both as a starter and out of the bullpen previously.…
CAMBRIDGE — From the first practice this spring the Dover-Sherborn girls tennis team was on a mission. On Sunday the Raiders accomplished it. Dover-Sherborn wrapped up an undefeated season with an MIAA Division 3 state title, defeating Martha’s Vineyard, 5-0 at MIT. “At the beginning of the year, our team decided this was what they wanted and they succeeded,” said D-S coach Ashley Tucillo, who is in her second season. “I’m so happy for them and proud.” S-S wrapped up the season at 20-0. The Raiders were seeded first. Martha’s Vineyard finished the year at 18-2, entering the tournament as…
Unpacking the shock and pain of the Rafael Devers trade, a deal equal parts damning and dumbfounding that stripped the city of a superstar and its last player to win a World Series in Boston, leads only to more shock and more pain. The Red Sox traded their best player without shopping him first. The Red Sox traded their best player because the math said so. The Red Sox traded their best player caring more about the pennies on his contract than the pennies on the dollar they acquired in return: two prospects, a starting pitcher they immediately optioned to…
Aaron Civale shouldn’t get too comfortable in Chicago. Just last week, the White Sox traded for the right-handed starter, getting him from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for first baseman Andrew Vaughn. But the White Sox “won’t have Civale in uniform long,” USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported Sunday. “They plan to trade him at the July 31 deadline, believing they could get at least a couple of mid-tier prospects in return,” according to Nightengale. The Brewers traded Civale two days after he requested a trade following a demotion to the bullpen. Story continues below advertisement Milwaukee made that move so…

To describe Sunday’s trade as sudden would be the understatement of the year, at least. Actually, to describe it as a trade at all seems inaccurate. Let’s call a spade a spade. The Red Sox dumped Rafael Devers. In the midst of playing their best baseball of the season, hours after sweeping the Yankees, winning their third consecutive series, and getting over .500 for the first time in weeks, the Red Sox dropkicked the face of their franchise and put their entire season and future in jeopardy. It’s difficult to know where to begin attempting to unpack the end of…

Rafael Devers was a popular man this weekend, especially considering the fact none of us knew he was going to get traded. The Boston Red Sox shocked the general public when they showed their disgruntled superstar the door and shipped him off to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, but that decision didn’t come without some deliberation. MassLive’s Sean McAdam reported that multiple teams inquired about the slugger’s availability, including the Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays. McAdam would go on to share that none seemed to be as motivated as San Francisco, who ultimately got a…
