Seven questions to get you through the latest Red Sox losing streak. Hopefully at some point, we’ll be able to move on from endless discussion of the Rafael Devers trade. I’d love to! But not yet. 1. What, exactly, is the culture the Sox are trying to build without Devers? An interesting claim made by chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and team president Sam Kennedy in last week’s post-trade videoconference was that the Devers did not fit the “culture” the Red Sox are trying to establish. “We would not have made this trade if we didn’t think it was best…

The Boston Red Sox 2018 World Series championship team has recently been the subject of reexamination following the shocking trade of Rafael Devers. Winners of 108 games that season, the 2018 Red Sox will go down as one of the greatest teams in franchise history. And when it came time to shut the door on other teams during the postseason that year, the Red Sox weren’t afraid to send starters such as Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi into the game at any time. As the architect behind the Red Sox title that year, Dave Dombrowski believes he can use that…
It’s easy to reference this video from Top Gear when I see the Red Sox lose lately: It’s a sad state of affairs and this season is looking worse by the day. One thing that doesn’t make me sad is delivering these Minor Lines to all of you. Let’s get into it. Worcester: L, 0-4 (BOX SCORE) RailRiders (Yankees AAA) starter Cam Schlittler was born a Red Sox fan and grew up in Walpole. Now pitching for “the enemy”, he really channeled a world-beating pitcher on Tuesday, pitching six shutout inning and striking out nine WooSox. As a whole, the…
The Celtics never considered trading Jaylen Brown or Derrick White before or during the 2025 NBA Draft, longtime team executive Mike Zarren said after the draft concluded Thursday night. Zarren, Boston’s vice president of basketball operations, dismissed trade rumors involving Brown and White. Multiple NBA insiders, including ESPN’s Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst, reported teams were calling with trade offers for the Celtics’ two most valuable trade chips, though most added that Boston was unlikely to move either. “Those two guys are really, really great NBA players, and there hasn’t been anything close to serious about trading them,” Zarren said…
The Celtics reportedly entered Round 2 of the 2025 NBA Draft with a specific target in mind. After failing to land him, they pivoted. Boston planned to take St. Joseph’s forward Rasheer Fleming with the 32nd overall pick Thursday night, according to a report from ESPN’s Shams Charania, but Phoenix beat Brad Stevens to the punch. The Suns traded two future second-round picks to Minnesota to vault from No. 36 to No. 31 and grab Fleming. With Fleming off the board, the Celtics opted to trade the next selection — and received a hefty return for it. The Orlando Magic…

By MARTÍN ADAMES PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic (AP) — Wander Franco, the suspended Tampa Bay Rays shortstop charged in a sexual abuse case, was found guilty on Thursday but received a two-year suspended sentence. Franco was arrested last year after being accused of having a four-month relationship with a girl who was 14 at the time, and of transferring thousands of dollars to her mother to consent to the illegal relationship. Franco, now 24, also faced charges of sexual and commercial exploitation against a minor, and human trafficking, but was found not guilty of those. Judge Jakayra Veras García said…
The New England Patriots are garnering significant buzz as a prime candidate to improve in 2025. Another voice added to that sentiment. On Wednesday, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer identified the Patriots as one of the teams he’s hearing the most about behind the scenes. The NFL insider told Rich Eisen that he’s “fascinated” by the Patriots and their Week 1 opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders. “I think both those teams are going to be better,” Breer said on “The Rich Eisen Show.” “Now, how much better, we’ll see.” Breer believes New England’s success will hinge on Drake Maye’s second-year progression…
The Boston Celtics aren’t expected to be a very active team in NBA free agency this offseason. But they do have a pair of important decisions to make regarding two valuable frontcourt pieces. Big men Al Horford and Luke Kornet are both set to hit unrestricted free agency when the new league year begins on July 6. Boston can negotiate with Horford and Kornet up until that point, but if no deals are reached, they could hit the open market and potentially seek greener pastures. Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens would prefer that doesn’t happen. “As you look…
