ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Aroldis Chapman became the major leagues’ career leader in strikeouts as a reliever Friday night, toppling a record that had stood for more than half a century.The Boston Red Sox’s 38-year-old left-hander didn’t do it with one of the triple-digit fastballs that have made him one of the most imposing pitchers of his generation and one of the most accomplished relievers in baseball history.Instead, his high pitch to the Angels’ Denzer Guzman was clocked at a mere 98.6 mph — and Guzman still couldn’t get around in time.“I feel very happy, very proud of what I’ve been able…
For the next few weeks we’ll be doing some theorizing on optimal returns at the trade deadline as the Red Sox look to do another tear down amidst a hopeless season. This week, it’s Sonny Gray—and unlike last week’s Chapman conversation, this one comes with a wrinkle.Week two of Sock Drawer. Last week it was Aroldis Chapman and a relatively clean simulation—the Sox have the asset, contenders want it, Breslow sets the price. This week is messier, because Sonny Gray has a no-trade clause, and that changes the whole conversation.Gray has been one of the few things working on this…

The first-grader at St. John Paul II Catholic Academy in Dorchester had a budding bromance with Brown. Jean had met Brown several times, including when…
We went from “AJ Brown Is Coming to New England. Wait, For Real?” to AJ Brown is actually here, actually in a Patriots uniform, actually saying things like “Get open and catch the ball. The mission is still the same.” That quote tells you everything. Brown didn’t need to adjust the plan. He just needed a quarterback worth running routes for again. Drake Maye is that quarterback. Last season Maye threw for 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns, and only 8 interceptions, per Pro Football Reference. His PFF grade came out at 90.1, which puts him in the conversation with the best…
A new era has begun in Boston.The Jaylen Brown transaction sending him to the division rival Philadelphia for Paul George, two firsts and two seconds came out of nowhere Wednesday night. The immediate reaction of Boston fans was disappointment; it felt like a lackluster package for a franchise icon in his prime coming off of an MVP level season. Meanwhile, Philly has put together a fantastic Big 4, but don’t let that fool you into thinking they are true contenders.Celtics Grade – D-It’s tough. Although a trade felt imminent due to the rift forming between Brown and the front office,…
