The Red Sox have an uphill mountain to climb in the American League East. In fourth place, they’re only ahead of the Baltimore Orioles near the 2025 season’s midway point. Two years removed from a 101-win campaign, the Orioles have endured a disappointing 34-46 start. Barring a quick recovery, the Orioles seem poised to treat the trade deadline as sellers and regroup for 2026. That could mean shopping Cedric Mullins, Ryan O’Hearn, Ramon Laureano, Zach Eflin and Felix Bautista. They have another veteran salvaging some trade value after a brutal start, as The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal called Charlie Morton a…

After moving down the draft board Thursday night, the Celtics made a pick aimed at bolstering their frontcourt depth. Boston selected Kentucky big man Amari Williams with the 46th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Williams was born and raised in England, then played four seasons at Drexel before transferring to Kentucky last summer. He’s a strong, big-bodied 7-footer with a 7-foot-6 wingspan who is considered a very good passer for his size. Williams also was an effective shot-blocker and rebounder in college — averaging 1.6 and 7.4 per game, respectively, in his career — and was a three-time…

The 2025 NBA Draft wound up being a very international affair for the Celtics. After selecting Spanish wing Hugo Gonzalez at No. 28 overall and British big man Amari Williams at No. 46, Boston rounded out its draft class by taking Ukrainian guard Max Shulga with the 57th pick. Shulga played five seasons of college basketball in the U.S., first at Utah State — where he overlapped with current Celtics center Neemias Queta — and then at VCU. His best trait: perimeter shooting. The 23-year-old attempted 5.5 3-pointers per game over his two seasons at VCU and made 40.2% of…

The Boston Celtics selected guard Max Shulga with the No. 57 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. (The Orlando Magic technically made the pick, but you know how these things go. Shulga is headed to Boston.) Shulga, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Kyiv, Ukraine, is a terrific shooter off the catch, which should help him fit the playing style in Boston. The Celtics are expected to sign him to a two-way contract, giving him time to develop at a new level and potentially earn himself a full-time deal. “Shulga shot 39% from three-point range across his five seasons in college,”…

After trading down from No. 32 overall, the Boston Celtics used the No. 57 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft to select VCU guard Max Shulga. Shulga played the last two seasons with the Rams after spending his first three collegiate seasons at Utah State. He averaged 15.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.0 assists while shooting 38.7 percent from 3-point range last season. Shulga’s 3-point prowess fits the Celtics mold, but he’s also a smart, decisive passer. The 23-year-old guard’s balanced skill set helped him earn First-Team All-Atlantic 10 nods twice at VCU. The C’s focused on international talent with…

Seven questions to get you through the latest Red Sox losing streak. Hopefully at some point, we’ll be able to move on from endless discussion of the Rafael Devers trade. I’d love to! But not yet. 1. What, exactly, is the culture the Sox are trying to build without Devers? An interesting claim made by chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and team president Sam Kennedy in last week’s post-trade videoconference was that the Devers did not fit the “culture” the Red Sox are trying to establish. “We would not have made this trade if we didn’t think it was best…

The Boston Red Sox 2018 World Series championship team has recently been the subject of reexamination following the shocking trade of Rafael Devers. Winners of 108 games that season, the 2018 Red Sox will go down as one of the greatest teams in franchise history. And when it came time to shut the door on other teams during the postseason that year, the Red Sox weren’t afraid to send starters such as Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi into the game at any time. As the architect behind the Red Sox title that year, Dave Dombrowski believes he can use that…
