On May 26, Héctor Gómez, director of communications for Ministerio Deportes (the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Sports) posted a video of Manny Ramirez hitting to his X account with a quote from the famed slugger: “I’m available to work as a hitting coach for any of the 30 MLB teams. I’m confident I can help any team significantly improve their offense.” On Monday, the famed slugger and 2004 World Series MVP got a glowing endorsement from a fellow Red Sox legend. “I saw it,” David Ortiz said of Gómez’s post. “Manny is one of the most, one of the smartest…

Ahead of Tuesday night’s game with the visiting Los Angeles Angels, the Red Sox made another slew of changes to the pitching staff. One week after reinstating Richard Fitts from the 15-day injured list on May 27, the Red Sox optioned the right-hander to Triple-A. Fitts’ start on Monday lasted just one inning. He allowed six runs, five earned, on four hits, including a trio of home runs, issued a walk and didn’t strike anyone out. The Red Sox were trying to stretch him out after his first start back – three shutout innings in Milwaukee on May 27 –…

FOXBORO — One of the first hires Mike Vrabel made as the Patriots’ head coach netted ex-Lions and Titans defensive assistant Terrell Williams as his defensive coordinator. The Patriots announced Williams’ addition in late January, and haven’t seen much of him since. Williams has spent most of the past two months connecting with players and assistant coaches via video conference, while he recovers from what he described as a “traumatic” health event that occurred on a spring trip home to Detroit. In Williams’ place, the Patriots have temporarily promoted inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr while they conclude their final voluntary…
FOXBOROUGH. Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs participated in his first offseason practice since video appeared on social media showing him passing what appeared to be a bag of pink crystals to women on a boat.Diggs attended Monday’s voluntary practice session six days after videos were posted online of him chatting with three women before producing the substance. It wasn’t clear what the substance was. An NFL spokesman said the league would not comment, and Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said the team would handle the matter internally.Diggs, 31, has attended multiple events this offseason with hip-hop star Cardi B…
Stefon Diggs isn’t unlike certain other players who have latched on with the New England Patriots. Randy Moss faced some off-field troubles before arriving at One Patriot Place, smoothing things out before having a successful stint. Antonio Brown faced tons of issues before, during and after his one-week run with the club. LeGarrette Blount’s second stint only began because he was released as part of his punishment for getting into trouble with former Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Le’Veon Bell. It’s just the sort of thing that happens, particularly with this franchise. James White, who played alongside two of the men previously…
Rafael Devers has channeled his inner David Ortiz with his recent performance as the Boston Red Sox’ designated hitter, though he has yet to emulate the Hall of Famer in the field. Ortiz played 278 games as a first baseman in his illustrious 20-year career. Devers, on the other hand, called out the Red Sox front office after being asked to move from DH to first in the wake of Triston Casas’ season-ending injury. The difference is that Devers already reluctantly moved from third base to DH before the season. The three-time All-Star took issue with the team asking him…
While all eyes remain on Roman Anthony in anticipation of his eventual call to the big leagues, another notable Red Sox outfield prospect is making a strong impression in Worcester as well. Jhostynxon Garcia, currently ranked as Boston’s No. 5 prospect by MLB Pipeline, was recently promoted to Triple-A and has enjoyed a dominant start with the WooSox. Garcia, nicknamed “The Password,” has already hit four home runs through his first 11 games at Triple-A while batting .391 with a 1.112 OPS. Garcia’s performance is particularly notable given that he wasn’t exactly tearing the cover off the ball through the…
FOXBORO — It’s been hard to assess Patriots top draft pick Will Campbell during spring practices, because on top of being voluntary, they’re also unpadded. But offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has still seen growth from Campbell, who’s been a mainstay at left tackle in the team’s top offense. “I think Will, and the entire group, has really done a nice job of trying to deal with a difficult front,” McDaniels said. “We’re getting a bunch of different looks this time of the year. You just put all those reps on the film, and then we have them to teach off…
Longtime closer Kenley Jansen, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, doesn’t envision himself walking off the mound for good anytime soon. Jansen signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels this past offseason, and even though the four-time All-Star isn’t a spring chicken anymore, the 37-year-old intends to keep going. Jansen returned to Fenway Park for a three-game set against his former team and told reporters the plan is to play for another three to four years, according to MassLive’s Christopher Smith. It’s an ambitious goal to set that’ll see Jansen on a big-league bump in his…
