Masataka Yoshida has been a forgotten man. After two solid enough seasons slashing .285/.343/.433 and putting up 1.4 bWAR in each of 2023 and 2024, Yoshida came into Spring Training without a position. The outfield, where Masa is limited to left, was full with Jarren Duran, Ceddanne “Nuf Cedd” Rafaela, and Wilyer Abreu — with Roman Anthony lurking and Rob Refsnyder the fourth outfielder. Plus Yoshida was coming off shoulder surgery. Would a repair let him retake the field, something he did just once in 2024? That was the plan. Despite being able to hit in Spring Training he was…

A trade sending Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt to the New England Patriots feels like a long shot, but it might not be as far-fetched as fans think. A proposed deal would send Watt to Foxborough in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 third-rounder as well as veteran safety Jabrill Peppers. The concept, floated by Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report, would allow Pittsburgh to reset its payroll while giving New England a franchise-altering pass rusher. Watt skipped mandatory minicamp this offseason, and contract talks remain unresolved. While the Steelers have publicly expressed a desire to keep him long…
When Will Zellers was first told by his advisor that he was traded last March, the Green Bay Gambler was crestfallen. Momentarily forgetting that the USHL trade deadline had already passed, Zellers thought initially that his dream season was about to be disrupted. Even when he was told, no, he was being traded to the Boston Bruins in the Charlie Coyle deal that also brought in Casey Mittelstadt and a second-round pick, it took him a while to wrap his mind around it. He’d only been drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in the third round about nine months before that…
Outfielder Roman Anthony is the No. 1 prospect in baseball, but since June 20, he’d served as Red Sox designated hitter six times in his last nine games, including four of the last five. It’s quite an adjustment for someone whose minor league DH experience amounted to 14 games – also all this year – and for an entirely different reason. “In Triple-A, I DH’ed for about a week and a half when I was going through some shoulder stuff,” Anthony told the Herald. He’s healthy now, but the outfield is crowded with Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, and Rob…

The Red Sox really could have used a victory on Wednesday. Boston was not only on the precipice of completing a series sweep of the Cincinnati Reds, but could have brought itself back to .500 on the season before beginning a six-game stretch with the lowly Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies. Can you guess what happened next? Greg Weissert gave up a go-ahead grand slam, Romy Gonzalez ran into an out on the bases (and likely would have scored the game-tying run if he hadn’t), Trevor Story and Abraham Toro committed errors that allowed the visitors to extend their lead…

Joe Mazzulla’s fourth season as Boston Celtics head coach will be his most challenging yet. The Celtics parted ways with key contributors Jrue Holiday (trade), Kristaps Porzingis (trade), and Luke Kornet (free agency) this offseason as they shed salary to get under the second apron of the luxury tax. Veteran big man Al Horford could be next to leave in free agency, and superstar Jayson Tatum will miss most if not all of the 2025-26 campaign recovering from a ruptured Achilles. That leaves Jaylen Brown and Derrick White as the top two options on an otherwise underwhelming Celtics roster. Boston…
It’s a not-so-fleeting thought dedicated golfers have – at least this one does – when watching the world’s top pros. If only I had those resources – a team that studied everything about my swing, my unique body, my mindset and my innate skills – I bet I could be pretty great. Or at least better. But who among us has access to that kind of coaching? To not just good golf lessons, but to a program that builds up every part of your game from holistic to hard-core technique? Here’s the twist: Thanks to a newly minted golf learning…
