Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
We had some fun with the ridiculousness that is the Winter Meetings rumor mill this morning, but we do in fact have credible reporting that the Red Sox have engaged in trade talks involving at least four former all-stars: Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte, Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager, Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes, and Cardinals […]
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Today we look at a veteran pitcher who had something of a bounce-back year in 2025. Who is he […]
The Nazem Kadri rumors just won't go away. The Calgary Flames own some sought-after assets for contenders looking for a boost this season, and when/if they finally decide to sell, there will undoubtedly be a bidding war for the services of Kadri and a couple of other Flames. But a recent development around the National Hockey League makes one serious contender a frontrunner to land Kadri—if and when he OKs a move. Sportsnet hockey insider Nick Kypreos gives us the scoop: Tyler Seguin &nb...
Winners of 10 straight games and owners of an 11-2 record overall, the New England Patriots are in the driver’s seat for their first AFC East championship since 2019. In fact, they can secure the title as early as this Sunday. Standing in their way, however, is a formidable opponent: the five-time reigning division champion […]
Good news, everybody, the Red Sox are totally in on Ketel Marte! Except maybe they’re not: The Sox have also checked in with the Diamondbacks — a team in need of rotation help — about the availability of star second baseman Ketel Marte, though one industry source downplayed the team’s pursuit of Marte, suggesting other […]
Since former Patriot Jacoby Brissett broke the record for completions in a game with 47 earlier this season, it got me thinking that we needed to revisit the game where the original record was set, back on November 13, 1994. And with the Patriots on a bye this week, this felt like the perfect opportunity […]
Things have changed since the New England Patriots crossed paths with the Buffalo Bills in October. But some familiarity remains beyond the coaching likes of Doug Marrone, Robert Kugler, Todd Downing, Scott Booker and Mike Pellegrino this December. Four former Bills can be found between the 53-man roster, practice squad and injured reserve in Foxborough, […]
‘Tis the season for cheesy, feel-good, family friendly movies. You know, the kind where the main characters are introduced, some kind of crisis occurs, they have to overcome obstacles and trials, and somehow it all works out in the end for a happily ever after. Technically, the Celtics have already gone through all those stages […]
A linebacker stopped by Gillette Stadium following the bye week. The New England Patriots had rookie Eugene Asante in for a workout on Tuesday, according to the NFL transaction wire. Asante, 24, entered the league as an undrafted free agent in the spring. The 6-foot-1, 216-pound off-ball linebacker spent training camp with the Miami Dolphins […]
After a sluggish first period, the Bruins came alive in the second and third periods to beat St. Louis, 5-2, at Enterprise Center. The win was the third in a row for the Bruins, who got points from nine skaters and 24 saves from Jeremy Swayman in the win. Fraser Minten and Mark Kastelic carried […]
On December 8th in 1987, Philadelphia Flyers netminder Ron Hextall fired a puck the length of the ice into an empty Boston Bruins net becoming the first goalie to score a goal in a NHL game. Though New York Islanders backstop Billy Smith had been credited with a goal eight years earlier, it was Colorado Rockies defenceman Rob Ramage who in fact last touched the puck. Thus, Hextall was the
The coaching change aftershocks that we discussed on Monday when Isabela Haggard entered the transfer portal appear to be continuing. On Tuesday, On3’s Talia Goodman kept bringing the heat on Marquette volleyball transfer news with the update that redshirt junior outside hitter Natalie Ring is entering the portal. Natalie Ring was the top attacker in […]
The Red Sox have agreed to terms on a minor league contract with free agent left-hander Alec Gamboa, as was first reported by Will Sammon of The Athletic. The deal includes an invitation to big league spring training and a salary of $925,000 if Gamboa makes it to the majors. Gamboa, who turns 28 next … Continue reading "Red Sox agree to minor league deal with former Dodgers farmhand Alec Gamboa"
Tuesday night! If you’re in the Boston area, it is very, very cold — a good night to grab a spot on the couch and watch the Bruins face the St. Louis Blues…again. Yes, we get to see Jim Montgomery, Claude Julien, & Co. for the second time in less than a week. It’s important […]
Philip Rivers is BACK with Colts! Will he start in Seattle? IU hosts Penn State tonight!
The Red Sox parted ways with infielder Vaughn Grissom on Tuesday by sending him to the Angels in a minor trade. In exchange for Grissom, Boston simultaneously opened a 40-man roster spot ahead of Wednesday’s Rule 5 Draft and acquired outfield prospect Isaiah Jackson from Los Angeles. Jackson, 21, was originally taken by the Astros … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox acquire from Angels for Vaughn Grissom?"
Back in January 2024, I said — roughly 218 times to anyone who would listen, up to and including strangers in line at CVS — that there was nothing Chris Sale could do with the Atlanta Braves that would make me think the trade that sent him to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom was a bad […]
You can expect a playoff-like atmosphere in Foxborough, MA this Sunday. There’s a lot at stake for both the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots weeks before the playoffs begin. After back-to-back 4-13 seasons, the Patriots have turned things around under hard-nosed head coach Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniel. Now 11-2 and in […]
