FOXBORO — It was a good day to be Drake Maye. He completed 88% of his passes in team drills over the Patriots’ first training camp practice Wednesday, an intense, non-padded session devoted mostly to drill work. Stefon Diggs became the headliner, back on the field as a full participant just nine months after tearing his ACL. He tied for the team lead with two catches. But there was another wide receiver, a rookie, who impressed just as much as Diggs after beating star corner Christian Gonzalez for a deep sideline coach. For a full recap of Wednesday’s practice, click…

The Red Sox lost another series and are looking to avoid a sweep again. I think today’s their best shot, given Luzardo has the highest ERA of the three pitchers the Sox will have faced in this series. But if Giolito’s still not back on his rhythm, the offense continues to stink, and Carlos Narvaez (whom I do love) has another run-scoring catcher’s interference error/call, Boston may be getting swept. If they lose, it’d make their first six games out of the All-Star Break identical to last year, going 1-5. But if they win, there is hope yet. Or something.…
Many Boston Celtics fans are wondering whether or not Hugo González will see significant playing time during his rookie season. The answer to that question may have just been revealed by an unnamed Celtics coach in talking to Spotrac’s Keith Smith. Smith was recently in Las Vegas for the NBA Summer League. During the trip, Smith gathered some valuable intel on González from a Celtics coach. Smith shared this information with the basketball world on Monday: “On Hugo Gonzalez: “I don’t care about the shooting numbers. His legs were Jello. He was exhausted. But he competed. He wants to win.…
WELLESLEY — The Boston Fleet is primed to look a lot different when it docks along the Merrimack River for its third season at the Tsongas Center in Lowell. Not only did an expansion draft dismantle a sizeable portion of its roster — including Hilary Knight, the captain and face of the franchise — but Boston will also feature a new bench boss in the Professional Women’s Hockey League. In a press conference Wednesday at the Boston Sports Institute, the Fleet announced Kris Sparre as the organization’s second head coach in team history. Courtney Kessel, who coached the Fleet the…
FOXBORO — On the first 11-on-11 rep of Patriots training camp 2025, quarterback Drake Maye took the snap, surveyed his options and hit his most accomplished pass-catcher on a crossing route. Welcome back, Stefon Diggs. Less than nine months removed from the ACL tear that ended his 2024 season, Diggs practiced without limitations Wednesday, leading New England’s wide receivers through individual and team drills. “I’m super excited,” Diggs said after practice. “Obviously, we got a good weather day. There’s a lot to be excited about. I’m just happy to be back playing football. It’s been kind of a long offseason…

FOXBORO — A packed crowd filling the metal bleachers bordering the west side of the Patriots’ practice fields erupted after Drake Maye’s first official completion of training camp went to Stefon Diggs on a short crossing route in 11-on-11 drills. If all goes as planned for the Patriots, that’s a promising premonition for the 2025 season: Maye under center, regularly connecting with a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver and a fanbase back to being fully engaged. It wasn’t the first time Maye completed a pass to Diggs, who’s fully recovered eight months after tearing his ACL four days before Halloween,…
The Boston Red Sox are keeping their options open at the trade deadline — just not swinging for the fences. The Cleveland Guardians are believed to be open to trade offers on right-hander Shane Bieber as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, While his uncertain health clouds his value, Bieber’s profile aligns with a pattern the Red Sox have followed in recent years — showing confidence in veterans returning from injury. Boston already banked on rebound campaigns from Lucas Giolito and Patrick Sandoval, both working back from elbow issues. Bieber fits that…

FOXBORO — Six months ago at his introductory press conference, Mike Vrabel memorably assessed his new team by saying he wasn’t sure the Patriots were even good enough to exploit bad football. On Tuesday, the eve of training camp, it was time to follow up. Are they good enough now? “Well, we’re closer than where we were in March or April when we got here,” Vrabel told a reporter at the start of a minute-long answer that offered a peek into his team meetings and mindset as head coach. Barely a minute later, another reporter encroached on the same territory…
