Well this sure explains why the Sox coveted Sonny Gray huh
If a pitcher is coming to Fenway Park, which ones give up Air Pull to right-handed batters?

Nice to see the first domino fall. Hopefully, the MLB free agent market moves a lot faster than it did last offseason.

At 9-2, the #Patriots are guaranteed to finish the season with a winning record for the first time since 2021.

5 TDs in the last 2 games (Sunday, tonight) for TreVeyon Henderson.

It feels like the #Patriots have been scored on in the opening series every game this season. (And then they usually settle down and play better D.)

If I was an official, I would give coaches and players instant technicals for arguing with me after a review.

As Mike Vrabel greeted each player on their way back to the locker room, he kept saying, “NFC South champs! NFC South champs!” — a reference to the quality of opponent the Patriots beat.

[email protected] presents a strong argument for why Dwight Evans should have had a spot on the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee Hall of Fame ballot — and why he ultimately belongs in the @BaseballHOF. #RedSox

Is Tarik Skubal actually there for the taking on the trade market? As always, the answer is not a simple one. - The Boston Globe
As free agency kicks into gear at the General Managers meetings this week, the Tigers' Cy Young Award-winning southpaw is one of many big names that are heating up the Hot Stove.

As Stef Diggs has said, an ugly win is better than a pretty loss.
All gifts graciously received. Thank you Romo.

The #WorldSeries capped off a wildly entertaining postseason.

Good primer on the offseason.

Tonight or tomorrow the World Series will end and the off-season begins, with big decisions ahead for #RedSox.

Rob Refsnyder, Justin Wilson, Steven Matz, & Dustin May will be free agents when the Fall Classic ends. Opt-out decisions from Trevor Story & Alex Bregman are due five days later.

Hopefully, Yamamoto turns into a 🎃 tonight and the #BlueJays wrap up the #WorldSeries in 6 games. Go Jays!

There is going to be wild game-to-game variance with the Celtics this season. Wednesday’s outcome was the best-case scenario of what this team can be. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/31/s...
Let’s face it, Celtics fans: We have no idea what we’re going to get from this team on any given night - The Boston Globe
In order to win, especially against good teams, the Celtics absolutely must have at least one player shoot the lights out. If they all shoot poorly, they literally have no shot at winning.

Yamamoto also became the first pitcher to record complete games in consecutive postseason starts since Curt Schilling did so for the D-Backs in 2001.

The last time the #Patriots opened a season with a 5-2 record was in 2019, when they went 12-4 and won the AFC East.
