After a slew of signings on Tuesday, it is fair for Bruins’ fans to ask whether their team is any better than it was just before they held their fire sale at the trade deadline. On paper, it would be hard to answer in the affirmative But if there was one thing that GM Don Sweeney wanted to accomplish on Tuesday with NHL free agency, it was to make his team more competitive, first when training camp opens in September and then when the roster – whoever makes it – goes to battle against other teams in October. Time will…

The Red Sox and NESN did everything they could to recreate the atmosphere of the 1975 World Series tonight. From the two teams on the field, to Jahmai Webster’s snazzy outfit, to interviews with former players, and even a retro graphics package. But unfortunately, another key feature of the 1975 World Series also showed up tonight: Bad weather. 50 years ago, it was a three day nor’easter that created a five day gap between Game 5 and the legendary Game 6 of that series, and tonight it was a repetitive round of summer thunderstorms associated with stationary front. Before the…
The Boston Celtics spent the last few weeks figuring out how to cut salary and balance their books. But that doesn’t mean president of basketball operations Brad Stevens won’t show at least some interest in star players if they become available. That apparently seems to be the case as it relates to Damian Lillard, who reportedly will be bought out by the Milwaukee Bucks and free to sign elsewhere. “Not surprisingly, league sources say Lillard received calls from several contending teams quickly after the news of his Bucks’ ending broke,” The Athletic’s Eric Nehm, Sam Amick and Joe Vardon wrote…
The Hub of the Universe has spun off its axis. Boston has gone Minor League. These days, the City of Champions can’t even land a WNBA franchise. The list of the departed in 2025 includes the following: Brad Marchand. David Andrews. Raffy Devers. Kristaps Porzingis. Jrue Holiday. Luke Kornet. (That last one really hurts.) 7 rings out the door. Beantown frowns at each breaking news sounder on talk radio or ESPN insider post on social media. Who’s next? Jaylen Brown? Derrick White? Aroldis Chapman? Alex Cora? (We should be so lucky.) The Red Sox and Celtics have pruned more than $500 million in…

PHOTO: New England Patriots/Facebook As mandatory minicamp closes and the countdown to training camp begins, the New England Patriots still face significant uncertainty in the trenches.While the offensive line appears light years ahead of the rough 2024 group, key concerns continue to linger over a unit vital to the team’s success, as well as the development of rookie quarterback Drake Maye.The Patriots made intentional moves to shore up the line this offseason, starting with a coaching hire that could prove foundational. Doug Marrone, brought on in January to lead the offensive line, brings a wealth of experience, having served as…

Baseball is full of semi-random accomplishments. Throwing a no-hitter or a perfect game, hitting for the cycle, or turning a triple play are a few. Another, less talked about feat, is the immaculate inning. An immaculate inning is when a hitter strikes out all three batters in an inning on nine pitches. 107 pitchers have thrown 118 immaculate innings in Major League history. On Monday, Boston Red Sox prospect Hayden Mullins accomplished the feat for Double-A Portland. Although the immaculate inning is less prestigious than a no-hitter, it’s actually less common. It’s also rarer than hitting for the cycle, but…
There have been many changes for Red Sox rookie Marcelo Mayer since his long-awaited call-up in late May. The food is better, the hotels nicer. Road trips are taken on a team plane instead of a bus, and players don’t have roommates. Much of that is par for the course for minor leaguers when they become major leaguers. Taking over a new position, less so. Mayer is here because third baseman Alex Bregman suffered a quad strain on May 23. In response, the Red Sox called up their top shortstop prospect and moved him to the hot corner, where he’d…
