The Boston Celtics’ franchise-altering offseason took an unexpected turn Wednesday with the team’s reported interest in superstar guard Damian Lillard. On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Bucks waived Lillard to free up cap space to sign former Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner in free agency. They did so by stretching the $112.6 million remaining on Lillard’s contract over the next five years. The Celtics, Golden State Warriors, and Los Angeles Lakers are “known to be among the many teams that would have interest in doing a deal (with Lillard) sooner rather than later,” The Athletic’s Eric Nehm, Sam Amick, and Joe Vardon…
It was neither clean nor pretty, but the Red Sox defeated the Washington Nationals 6-4 on Sunday afternoon to complete the sweep and get back over .500 for the first time since June 22. In the nearly three-hour grind, the Nationals had at least one base runner in every inning and matched their guests in hits (12), but went 4 for 11 with runners in scoring position and left 15 men on base. Perhaps in part due to the brief rain delay in the top of the second, but Garrett Crochet wasn’t at his most overpowering on Sunday; too many…
Garrett Crochet was named to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game roster on Sunday, and while it isn’t his first appearance in the All-Star Game, this one is more special for him. The 26-year-old has a 2.39 ERA through his first 19 starts with the Red Sox, proving to be Boston’s top starter. In 2024, with the White Sox, Crochet was the only representative for Chicago due to every team having to have a representative. He did have a strong season in Chicago before the game, totaling a 3.02 ERA in his first 20 starts. Now with the Red Sox, Crochet…
This was an exhausting game to watch. A 17 minute rain delay seemed to change the complexion of this one. The rain put some rust on the Red Sox, making defense look sloppy, pitching look inconsistent and the offense cooled off for the most part until late. Still, this is a massive win for the Red Sox and a big sweep heading into a seven-game home stand that should be winnable. The amount of bullpen usage isn’t completely ideal given tomorrow’s starter but it was necessary considering the jams the Sox worked themselves into in multiple innings. Thankfully, a quick…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trevor Story homered, and the Boston Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 6-4 victory Sunday.Left-hander Garrett Crochet (9-4) allowed two runs and struck out seven in five innings.

It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. The Red Sox don’t have any All-Star starters, but three players will represent the club at next week’s midsummer classic in Atlanta: third baseman Alex Bregman and left-handers Aroldis Chapman and Garrett Crochet. It’s the second All-Star selection in a row for Crochet, who earned his first career nod last season with the Chicago White Sox. Despite leading MLB in strikeouts, he finished second to Detroit’s Tarik Skubal in player balloting for AL starting pitchers. Bregman is an All-Star for the third time in his 10-year career, but the first time…
If the Boston Celtics don’t land Damian Lillard, it won’t be due to a lack of interest. An explosive report from The Athletic dropped this week, indicating that the Celtics were among the teams pursuing a deal for Lillard, now a free agent after being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks. Soon after, The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn confirmed that Lillard had Celtics interest. “One team Lillard has interest in joining is the Boston Celtics,” Washburn wrote on Thursday. “And the Celtics reportedly have shared interest in teaming up with the veteran point guard.” “When Lillard was seeking a trade from…
