When Kristian Campbell made the Opening Day roster, the Red Sox quickly picked up discussions that led to an eight-year, $60 million contract extension within a matter of days. Have the Red Sox taken a similar approach with Roman Anthony? Asked prior to Sunday’s game, the top prospect told the Herald that there have been no contract talks since he made his MLB debut two weeks ago. “No, not at all. I haven’t heard a peep from anyone about anything,” Anthony said. “I think right now the goal is pretty clear for me, it’s to worry about showing up every…

Amidst their longest losing streak since September 2022, the Red Sox made three bullpen-related roster moves Saturday afternoon. Rookie right-hander Luis Guerrero has been placed on the 15-day injured list with an elbow sprain. There are no plans to send him for an MRI at this time, manager Alex Cora said. Between his debut last Sept. 8 and April of this year, Guerrero began his big-league career with 12 consecutive scoreless appearances, the most by an American League pitcher since Austin Maddox’s Red Sox debut in 2017. In franchise history, the only longer streak of its kind belongs to Robby…

The MLB trade deadline is roughly a month away, and the coming weeks should go a long way towards determining who’s a buyer, who’s a seller and who could go either way. Which path will the Red Sox take? And who could be on the move leading up to July 31? Boston has already made probably the biggest trade of the season by dealing Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, but chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has suggested the team could still try to add before the deadline. No matter what comes next, there are a number of players…

The Boston Bruins not only got a steal in James Hagens at No. 7 in the 2025 NHL Draft, but they also grabbed a perfect fit. Hagens currently plays down the road from the Bruins’ home, TD Garden, at Conte Forum with Boston College. The 5-foot-11, 177-pound forward had 11 goals and 26 assists on a loaded Eagles team in his freshman season. No matter whether Hagens decides to stay an extra season at BC or play with Boston, he will stay close to his brother. The Long Island native’s brother is Michael Hagens, who also plays for the Eagles.…

It will take a few years before we can accurately judge the quality of the Boston Bruins’ 2025 draft class. But in the short term, at least on paper, it appears the Bruins did pretty well over the last two days in Los Angeles. The Bruins very much needed to bolster their talent and depth at center in this draft, so it wasn’t surprising to see them select centers with their first two picks. The B’s were fortunate that Boston College star James Hagens — the No. 1 ranked prospect in the 2025 class before the season — fell to…

It’s been too quiet on the offensive front for the Red Sox of late. They entered Saturday averaging 2.8 runs per game over 10 contests since the Rafael Devers trade. Baseball’s last team to be shut out, the Red Sox weren’t held scoreless by anyone until May 31 in Atlanta. In 10 games post-Devers, however, they’ve been shut out twice, including a 9-0 Blue Jays drubbing in Friday’s series opener. Baseball is beautifully, maddeningly unpredictable, though. So it was a welcome change of pace when the Red Sox scored three runs in each of the first three frame, knocked Toronto…

BOSTON (AP) — The struggling Boston Red Sox could be getting some offensive help soon.Manager Alex Cora said Masataka Yoshida would start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. The 31-year-old DH/outfielder has been out the entire season following surgery on his right shoulder in October.“He’ll go on a rehab assignment. We’ll see how many at-bats he needs,” Cora said Saturday before the Red Sox faced the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. “He’s moving well, the swing feels great, the throwing has been a lot better. He’s been able to bounce back, so we just have to map…

Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images The Red Sox did it — they won a game. For the first time in a week, we can celebrate a Boston victory, and for the first time in the post-Rafael Devers era (tears), they’ve won one at Fenway. I think my highlight of Chris Bassitt’s relative dominance of the Red Sox was what they needed to be reminded of to break out of a nearly two-game scoreless streak, and I’m proud to keep calling them out if that’s what works! Bassitt’s given Boston fits since even his time in Oakland, but jumped on him almost right…
