The Red Sox and the Brewers will wrap up their three-game series Wednesday afternoon at American Family Field. Marcelo Mayer will experience another big league first in the matinee matchup. After batting sixth in each of his first four games with Boston, the 22-year-old will bat cleanup in the finale in Milwaukee. It was a deserved elevation for Mayer, who collected a combined five hits in his last three games. The 2021 first-round pick will share an infield with Trevor Story, David Hamilton and Nick Sogard.

Picture if you will, a herd of fat, juicy, slow moving wildebeests. They’re approaching a river crossing, which leaves them extremely vulnerable to any predator in search of a snack.

They’re so random, spellcheck doesn’t even…

That includes messages flooding my DMs and inbox, a story in The New York Times, TMZ’s Memorial Day weekend scoop on Hudson flashing a sizable rock on her left hand…

Pizzano, the director of fundraising for Mission Stadiums for Multiple Sclerosis (MS4MS), had played a leading role with CEO and founder Sam Greenberg in organizing #spreadingORANGE Day at Fenway Park –…
The Boston Red Sox left no room for error Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Brewers. They needed all the extra wiggle room, too. So while Aroldis Chapman blew a save opportunity in the bottom of the ninth inning and Liam Hendriks surrendered a walk-off grand slam to Christian Yelich an inning later, it was Boston’s continued offensive struggles that really plagued it in a 5-1 loss to the Brewers in 10 innings at American Family Field. The Red Sox pushed their only run across on a heads-up running play by Ceddanne Rafaela when he scored on a wild pitch in…

Boston Red Sox legend Manny Ramirez wants to return to MLB, but not as a player. It’s been 14 years since Ramirez last stepped foot in a big league dugout. Boston remembers Ramirez as the 2004 World Series MVP, a charismatic clubhouse presence, and a slugger with a right-handed swing that was a sight to behold. But now the father of three wants to pay it forward for the next generation of big league stars and apply his hitting expertise to carve a coaching role for any organization that’s interested. “I’m available to work as a hitting coach for any…
