Some Boston Red Sox fans are likely wondering what Monday’s trade with the Milwaukee Brewers means for infielder Marcelo Mayer.

By HOWARD FENDRICH MILAN (AP) — On the ice, Jutta Leerdam is an Olympic medalist speedskater for the Netherlands who is entered in the 500 and 1,000 meters at the Milan Cortina Winter Games. Off the ice, Leerdam gets a lot of attention for her engagement to YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul — who is also at these Olympics, but as a spectator. Separately, Leerdam and Paul have big followings on social media. Together, they draw a lot of eyeballs and interest, and he is expected to attend her events in Milan. Leerdam did not race at the Milano Speed Skating Stadium…
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Drake Maye was a dependable and steadying force for the New England Patriots this season. The second-year quarterback never got the chance to be that when his team needed him most in the Super Bowl.Maye was the NFL’s most accurate passer during the regular season and finished second in MVP voting, but he was hounded by the Seahawks’ “Dark Side” defense throughout. He threw two touchdown passes, but was sacked six times, had two interceptions and lost a fumble that led to a TD by Seattle in New England’s 29-13 loss on Sunday.“Definitely hurts,” Maye said. “They played…
The Boston Red Sox reportedly addressed their most glaring lineup need by acquiring infielder Caleb Durbin from the Milwaukee Brewers. As first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Red Sox landed Durbin in a six-player deal. They also received infielders Andruw Monasterio, Anthony Seigler and a competitive balance draft pick for David Hamilton, Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan. The versatile Durbin gives the Red Sox options when filling out their 2026 lineup card. While he spent most of his time at third base as a rookie, the 25-year-old has also taken reps at second base. Boston could use Durbin at…
The New England Patriots exceeded all expectations en route to Super Bowl 60, but their remarkable 2025 season ended with a disappointing 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks While there’s newfound optimism in Foxboro with head coach Mike Vrabel and quarterback Drake Maye leading the charge, the Patriots will have a more challenging road to the Super Bowl in 2026. Their schedule will be much tougher, and they’ll undoubtedly have a target on their back as the reigning AFC champion. The work begins next month, when Vrabel and Co. must figure out how to retool a roster that can replicate…

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Boston Herald crew made it to Levi’s Stadium for Super Bowl LX, but, boy, was it an adventure. We walked to the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco and left on the media bus at 10:30 a.m. PT and were seated in the press box at 12:51 p.m. The bus hit some traffic, then some national media members suggested some detours to the bus driver that eventually led us to a dead end when Andrew Callahan and I politely asked our driver to open the doors and let us walk the last 3/4 mile. We…
Drake Maye might wish he could hit the reset button after his first Super Bowl experience ended in a 29-13 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Maye faced a tough challenge passing for 295 yards and two touchdowns. However, he also lost a fumble and threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Even though Maye finished second in MVP voting this season, his playoff performance wasn’t impressive. As a result, the sports talk show host Skip Bayless is reverting to Maye’s original nickname, calling him “Drake Maybe”. “I’ll go back to my original nickname for…
Last week, Red Sox fans Damon Campagna, Lily Rose Smith and Patrick Spaulding filed a class-action lawsuit against the team in U.S. District Court, alleging that it charged illegal junk fees from at least 2022 through 2024 and used “drip pricing” to inflate the stated costs for tickets. I believe them.To be clear, I believed them as soon as I saw the first headline about all this. As I am not a court of law, I am under no obligation to find the team innocent until proven guilty. I relish doing the opposite, in fact. I nonetheless read the criminal…
