Less than a month ago, the Boston Red Sox were the worst team in the American League. An embarrassing series loss to the Colorado Rockies was rock bottom, and any talk of a potential turnaround was laughable. But through it all, Craig Breslow preached patience. Even while his seat was scorching and his optimism was openly mocked, he stayed consistent. After losing two of three to the lowly Rockies, Breslow faced the music during his weekly appearance on WEEI’s Greg Hill Show. He remained hopeful despite his club being dead last in the AL East and five games back of…

The main takeaway of this year’s Home Run Derby: The new format gives plaers 20 swings in the first round and 15 thereafter, unless the final swing results in a homer, in which it can continue to infinite swings. Minus a Stanley Kubrick- or David Fincher-type possessing the skills of Kenny Lofton, this is an ideal scenario. You don’t need to take my word for it though. They wanna hit and tonight, the proof was in the pudding. This derby was fun to start to finish. Willson Contreras didn’t win but he was the perfect heel.The secondary takeaway: MLB spent…

With the 20th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, the Boston Red Sox selected shortstop Jake Schaffner out of the University of North Carolina. It was a surprise pick for Boston as Schaffner was ranked far lower on most draft boards. The 21-year-old was considered the 75th-best prospect in the class by MLB Pipeline and 97th by Baseball America. “We prepared for 20 scenarios. I won’t say where this scenario was on that list,” Red Sox director of amateur scouting Jake Bruml said of selecting Schaffner, via MLB.com. “We knew what we were getting into. We were very comfortable…
What’s better than finishing off the pre-All Star break series against Rochester (Nationals AAA) with a walk-off win? Doing so while holding off a late rally on a day where both teams combined for 15 pitchers used.The bullpen held the Red Wings scoreless for six innings, but the Red Wings tied things up to send the game to extras. It was there, though, that Tyler McDonough was driven in by a 2-out single by one of the only infielders in Worcester who hasn’t sniffed the Major League roster yet this season: Mikey Romero. This was appropriate timing, given that this…

The Boston Celtics shocked the sports world on Wednesday, reportedly trading superstar Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks. Brown being traded wasn’t surprising. The 2024 NBA Finals MVP had been the subject of trade rumors for the last month and was nearly shipped to Milwaukee in a deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo before the Miami Heat landed the two-time MVP. But this trade? Sending Brown to the Eastern Conference rival that beat you in the first round for a 36-year-old and draft capital? That was jaw-dropping As you’d expect,…

What’s happening? That game didn’t feel real. The Red Sox are on an unbelievable winning streak, but for eight innings today, it felt like a game that happened in April, May, or even June. The team only managed four base runners over the first eight innings, and only one of them advanced past first base. The pitching was excellent as usual — Payton Tolle and Brayan Bello combined for eight innings, allowing one run each — but the offense wasn’t there to back them up. It’s a game we’ve seen time and time again this season, where the home run…
