Fresh off taking two of three from the Atlanta Braves — an East division team off to a bad start trying to get things together — the Red Sox return home to welcome the Los Angeles Angels. Los Angeles has had a few rough years with without Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout playing in tandem and 2025 looked to be more of the same. A 9-16 April seemed right in line with the low expectations. But then the team came back with a 14-14 May. A loss on June 1 left them at 26-32, fourth place in the AL West.…

By TIM REYNOLDS Ernie Johnson could barely get the words out. The run of “Inside the NBA” on TNT came to an end on Saturday night after nearly four decades as a fixture of the league. The show will move to ESPN and ABC next season — and keep Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley together, still doing most shows from Atlanta — but the final TNT sign-off was an emotional one. “I’m proud to say for the last time, ‘Thanks for watching us. It’s the NBA on TNT,’” Johnson said, before turning his back to the camera,…
FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) – OTAs are underway at Gillette Stadium and Patriots quarterback Drake Maye says its all about getting comfortable with his new head coach, Mike Vrabel, offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, and laying the groundwork for a successful sophomore season.Maye told 7NEWS, “It’s a new sense of let’s get things right this year and I think people are tired of consecutive losing seasons, that gets tough in a city that expects to win so much and has so much successful in the past and we want to get back to that.”He added, “And I think it’s been great with…
The Boston Red Sox are finally promoting one of their most recognizable prospects. (No, it’s not Roman Anthony.) Blaze Jordan will soon make his way from Double-A Portland to Triple-A Worcester, according to MassLive’s Christopher Smith. It’s a well-earned promotion for the former top prospect, who finally found his footing during a dominant first couple of months this season. Jordan slashed .320/.415/.513 with six home runs, 11 doubles, 37 RBIs, 22 walks and just 19 strikeouts across 44 games with the Sea Dogs. Boston originally drafted the power-hitting corner infielder in the third round (89th overall) in 2020 — handing…

BEVERLY – The best way to start a tournament run is by going against a team of equal strength. On paper, Sunday’s Div. 1 softball tilt was billed as a showdown between 16th-seeded Beverly and No. 17 Weymouth. Thanks to rising ace Jillian Ondrick, the Wildcats coasted onward. The junior tossed a complete game, allowing two runs (neither earned) to go with three hits while striking out 13, as the Wildcats (12-9) clinched a trip to the Round of 16 with a 6-2 win over the Panthers in their playoff opener. “We just did what we’ve done all season,” said…
As the Bruins’ scouts and executives convene in Buffalo for this week’s NHL scouting combine in advance of what will be a pivotal draft for the organization, the rest of us have our eyes fixed upon the sky over Causeway Street, waiting for the puff of white smoke to appear. A month and a half after the B’s season ended, with the team out of the playoffs for the first time in nine years, the club has yet to name a head coach that will undertake the job of rebuilding/retooling this team back into a contender. But, barring a late…
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora took a cautionary trip to the mound to check on closer Aroldis Chapman midway through the ninth inning of the team’s 3-1 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon. Chapman got ahead of Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies with an 0-1 count and drew a grounder to shortstop to record the first out of the frame. But when Sean Murphy followed up with his trip to the plate and hit a deep foul ball down the left field line, Chapman made an agitated expression that caught the attention of Boston’s dugout. Cora requested…
The Boston Celtics had the third-best record in the NBA this season, which gave them the No. 28 overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft on June 24. The odds of the C’s finding a star player at No. 28 are obviously low. But that doesn’t mean quality players don’t exist in this range. Every year there are usually a couple rotation players to be found in the bottom third of the first round and top third of the second round. For example, the Celtics got center Robert Williams III at No. 27 in 2019 and…
NORTH ANDOVER — The team boasted some 18 runners two years ago. Besides some local allegiance to the Coffee Cake Running Club in the area, Amherst wasn’t exactly a hotbed for track talent. When Moriah Luetjen was a freshman, she never imagined hoisting hardware at the Div. 4 outdoor track and field championships. She said she didn’t see the big picture of what her career would bring. But a lot has changed in four years. Now a senior, Luetjen has watched the numbers grow before her eyes and the results they have yielded. Luetjen claimed first in the 400-meter run…
