The Patriots appear primed to have a top-notch pass rush in 2025. With players such as Christian Barmore, Milton Williams, Keion White and Harold Landry III in the fold, New England should be set on the interior and the edge. However, White still has much to prove and many experts didn’t love Landry’s 2024 film. K’Lavon Chaisson has been a good training camp story, but is he really ready for breakout? So, the Patriots probably could use an upgrade on the edge. The good news is that the one of the NFL’s best pass rushers, Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey…

FOXBORO — Every summer, one of the hot topics among the Patriots fanbase entering training camp is surprise trade/cut candidates. Now four weeks into training camp, two players who could be on the outs, based on preseason snaps and practice reps, are safety Kyle Dugger and outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings. Dugger and Jennings are both long-time starters in the Patriots’ defense, so it’s been surprising to see them seemingly buried on the depth chart and playing deep in preseason games. Jennings took advantage of the opportunity in Saturday’s preseason win over the Vikings with 2.5 sacks. Dugger also made a…

When a team’s biggest weakness is the last reliever out of the bullpen, it’s usually a sign of a pretty good team. Most of the time, if you’re using the back of your bullpen, you’re either up or down by a significant margin. The Red Sox have been great at finding times to use the back of the bullpen, but those pitchers haven’t held up their end of the bargain.Jorge Alcala, Chris Murphy, and now Isaiah Campbell have all struggled late in games, forcing Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman to make appearances they otherwise shouldn’t have. Most recently, Isaiah Campbell’s…

Thirteen months after the Groubeck family announced its plan to sell the Boston Celtics, that transaction is now complete. The Celtics announced Tuesday that Bill Chisholm’s investment group “has completed the acquisition of a majority control position” of the iconic NBA franchise after receiving unanimous approval from the NBA’s Board of Governors last week. Chisholm, whose group had its $6.1 billion offer for the Celtics accepted in March, will serve as the team’s governor, effective immediately. “This truly is a dream come true for me and my family,” Chisholm, who was raised in Georgetown, Mass., and attended Dartmouth College, said…

FOXBORO — Sometimes life as a rookie third-string quarterback is difficult. Patriots undrafted rookie QB Ben Wooldridge didn’t get any competitive reps during the team’s two joint practices with the Commanders and Vikings, conceding those to Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs, and then was thrust into action to play the second half in Saturday’s preseason games. So, how does Wooldridge prepare for a game without making any throws? “It’s just being able to get a rep while you’re maybe not in there physically getting the rep. Doing the mental rep behind where it’s going through the footwork, throwing the ball,…

Have the New England Patriots found their next rising star? New England’s 2025 experience is only comprised of two preseason games thus far, but undrafted rookie wideout Efton Chism III has been one of the standout performers for the Patriots in both contests. The Eastern Washington alum caught six passes for 71 yards and a touchdown in preseason Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings, building on his production from Week 1 against the Washington Commanders: six catches, 50 yards and a TD. It’s impossible not to notice Chism at this point, whether you’re viewing the game as a fan or…

The Red Sox announced four roster moves Monday afternoon, including an unexpected outfield injury. Wilyer Abreu exited Sunday’s game with right calf tightness, but it was Rob Refsnyder whom Boston placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain Monday (retroactive to Aug. 15), along with recalling infielder/outfielder Nate Eaton from Triple-A and designating catcher Ali Sanchez for assignment. The Red Sox also officially announced the signing of first baseman Nathaniel Lowe to a one-year deal for the ’25 season.

The Boston Red Sox have been almost unbeatable at Fenway Park this summer, but that hasn’t been the case over the last few days. After dropping Sunday’s series finale to the Miami Marlins, 5-3, the Red Sox lost again on Monday, 6-3, versus the Baltimore Orioles. It’s the first time Boston has lost consecutive home games since June 2 and 3 against the Los Angeles Angels. In between, the Red Sox went 25-6 at Fenway, surging into playoff contention thanks to their dominance at home and feeding off the energy from their swelling crowds. Even with the back-to-back losses, they’re…
