The Red Sox traded Connelly Early to the Nationals today in a trade that may or may not prove to to be a good move. That’s right: I’m not afraid of the hot takez!It’s hard to say farewell to Early. A homegrown left-handed starter is the single most valuable commodity in baseball. But, moreover, he seemed like a genuinely great dude, one who burst onto the scene in memorable fashion last year, and, judging by the picture below, had already started production on a 1997 TBS sitcom called South Pause about two rookie pitchers who quit baseball to become small…

The New England Patriots returned to action on Saturday for Day 1 of training camp in Foxboro. While fans were treated to an entertaining practice behind Gillette Stadium, there were more noteworthy stories off the field than on it. After months of uncertainty, second-round linebacker Gabe Jacas finally signed his rookie contract.

Gonzalez was a full participant in Saturday’s practice, a positive development after he…
The parity era in the NBA seems like it could continue. At least, that’s what oddsmakers and bettors appear to believe after LeBron James’ latest decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers.New York’s championship run last month capped a season that extended an unprecedented run of NBA parity, with eight different franchises winning titles in the last eight seasons — Toronto in 2019, James and the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020, Milwaukee in 2021, Golden State in 2022, Denver in 2023, Boston in 2024, Oklahoma City in 2025 and now the Knicks.There’s at least a reasonable chance now that the run of new champions will continue…
The WooSox now have 45 hits in their last three games. Although this game was close and the Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins AAA) were resilient, tagging every relief pitcher for runs in a bullpen game after Tyler Uberstine opened things up with a scoreless first, the WooSox simply just stayed one step ahead of them. Kristian Campbell continued his hot streak with his fourth home run of the season in the sixth amidst a raucous stage of the game where teams were trading runs for three consecutive innings, and the WooSox also enjoyed a three-hit night out of Mickey Gasper. And…

Seventeen years ago, Jim Tracy took over as interim manager for the Colorado Rockies and engineered one of the greatest season turnarounds in MLB history. Now, his son Chad is on an eerily similar path with the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox promoted Chad Tracy to interim manager after firing longtime skipper Alex Cora on April 25. On May 29, 2009, Jim Tracy earned the interim tag after the Rockies fired Clint Hurdle. Boston had a 10-17 record at the time of Cora’s firing, while Colorado was 18-28 when Hurdle was canned. The ’09 Rockies went 12 games under…
