We have officially reached the three-quarters mark of the MLB season, and everything the Red Sox hope to achieve is still there for the taking. Entering the weekend the Red Sox stand at 66-56 with 40 games remaining, their best record at this point in the season since 2021. They hold the American League’s second Wild Card spot, and if the season ended today they’d fly out to Seattle to play the Mariners in a three-game AL Wild Card Series. Last year’s AL playoff cutline was 86 wins, and to hit that mark this year the Red Sox would only…

Four players from the New York Yankees featured in a new top 25 list of upcoming free agents. The rankings, compiled by The Athletic’s Jim Bowden, forecast a talented class of 2026 free agents. Bowden did not include any players with club options. The highest-ranked Yankees player on Bowden’s list was outfielder Cody Bellinger, who landed at No. 10. “Bellinger has been a perfect fit playing half his games at Yankee Stadium, with the short porch in right helping him hit 22 home runs,” Bowden wrote. “He also has an .816 OPS and 10 stolen bases. His above-average defense at…
This week, it’s a flawed defensive alignment that’s in the waiting room at City Hall.This one, perhaps more than any other Mayor’s Office I’ve written so far, hurts me to type. It hurts so badly because just four short weeks ago, Ceddanne Rafaela (the centerfielder) was on a run so incredible it was genuinely hard to fathom. In 21 games from June 20th to July 13th, Ceddanne batted .346/.370/.782 for an OPS of 1.152. In those 21 games, Rafaela smacked 8 home runs, 10 doubles, and swiped 3 bags. All of this while playing platinum-glove caliber defense in center field.…
An early revenge game against the rival that ended their title defense. A string of reunions for members of the 2023-24 championship squad. The first game back in New England for a local phenom. Chances to watch a pair of aging legends. With the Celtics’ full schedule for the 2025-26 NBA season now out, here are seven games fans should have circled on their calendars: Wednesday, Oct. 22 vs. Philadelphia 76ers (7:30 p.m.) Opening night. The first true look at this revamped Celtics roster, with a starting five that’ll barely resemble the one Boston fielded for the past two seasons.…
The Patriots saw mixed results in their two days of joint practices with the Vikings this week, and now the two teams are set to compete in the preseason Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. The Patriots won the day (if that’s possible in joint practice) on Wednesday but were outmatched on offense and defense Thursday. Since starters received so much work in the two joint practice session, be prepared to watch players fighting for jobs on the roster bubble play the majority of Saturday’s game. Here are players to watch in a rare Patriots afternoon preseason game. QB BEN WOOLDRIDGE…
Alex Bregman has only been with the Boston Red Sox for half of a season, but he’s already embracing Boston. On Thursday, Bregman, in collaboration with Sam Adams, released “Bregman’s Beer“, a limited-edition beer available at the Sam Adams Downtown Boston Taproom while supplies last. The third baseman sat down with NESN at the launch event. “I think for me, being the new guy here in Boston, just seeing how the fans have embraced me, and really welcomed me with open arms, we kind of wanted to partner with Sam Adams and give back to the Boston fans and do…

With high school football practices set to kick off Friday, there are always a slew of story lines to follow during the regular season. Here are a bunch of them that the Boston Herald will be keeping its eyes on. • Rob DiLoreto returns for a second tour of duty as the Everett football coach. Here’s hoping that the hierarchy does their job and allows DiLoreto to do his thing in the proper manner. Up north, Acton-Boxboro turns to Billy Waters in hopes of turning a program around which has struggled in recent years. • Needham was one of the…
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The top quarterbacks in last year’s NFL draft accounted for six of the top 12 picks, and they had a wide range of results in their rookie year, from award-winning to not applicable.Drake Maye, though picked as an injury replacement for the Pro Bowl, had a bumpy debut while the New England Patriots went 4-13. J.J. McCarthy didn’t play at all for the Minnesota Vikings, after he was sidelined by a torn meniscus in his right knee.The bright side for both players was plenty of room for real progress, which became a bit easier to envision this week during…
Stefon Diggs is feeling good. The Patriots don’t want him to get too carried away, it seems. The new Patriots wideout has been coming along well this offseason, however he did not play in the preseason opener against the Washington Commanders. Head coach Mike Vrabel declared it a coach’s decision, but it was noteworthy since other starters, including Drake Maye, played. But in an appearance Thursday on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show, Patriots safety-turned-NFL analyst Devin McCourty shared some insight he gained from Diggs in a conversation they had last week. “We talked to him after practice and he was…
