Report sheds light on Red Sox’ awkward approach with Rafael Devers

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

Rafael Devers has thrived this season as the Boston Red Sox' designated hitter, but moving him off third base has caused an unexpected headache for the organization. Devers initially scoffed at the idea of switching from third to DH after the Alex Bregman signing. He later reluctantly accepted the change, but not before sitting out most of spring training and struggling mightily (0-for-19, 15 strikeouts) to begin the 2025 campaign.
Giannis Antetokounmpo to Celtics? Why trading for Bucks star wouldn’t make sense

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

The Boston Celtics have an active offseason ahead as they aim to get under the second apron. Most of the discourse on their potential moves has been about parting ways with key players, but what about adding one of the league's biggest superstars? The Milwaukee Bucks could look to jumpstart their rebuild and move on from two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Could Patriots release Stefon Diggs? ‘It’s not just the boat,’ Scott Zolak says

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

Could the Stefon Diggs era in New England end before it even begins? The Patriots' prized offseason addition has made headlines for the wrong reasons during OTAs. On Wednesday, a video surfaced of Diggs partying on a boat during Memorial Day Weekend, surrounded by three women with an unidentified pink substance in his possession.
Examining Drake Maye’s demeanor and work ethic at Patriots OTAs

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

Drake Maye has experienced some growing pains through his first few OTA practices as the New England Patriots' second-year quarterback. In the Patriots' first OTA open to the media last week, Maye looked out of sorts as he threw four interceptions. He was better in Wednesday's practice, but it still was an uneven day for New England's offense. NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry was at Gillette Stadium for both OTA sessions.
Why hasn’t Roman Anthony been called up? Craig Breslow explains

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

It's unfair to expect Roman Anthony to save the Boston Red Sox. But as MLB's No. 1 prospect continues to tear it up at Triple-A Worcester, it's fair to wonder why he isn't on the next flight to Atlanta for the club's weekend series vs. the Braves. Anthony could bring much-needed thump to the middle of Boston's lackluster lineup. The 21-year-old is slashing .318/.450/.528 with eight homers and 23 RBI through 49 games this season. He's ready for The Show. So, what's keeping him down in the minors?
Red Sox stock up, stock down: Kristian Campbell hits the rookie wall

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

Not much has gone right for the Boston Red Sox since the calendar flipped to May. They've gone 10-16 this month to fall to 27-31, 9.5 games behind the first-place New York Yankees in the American League East. The blame pie can be sliced several ways. The offense has been inconsistent, the rotation has struggled behind ace Garrett Crochet, and the team is 6-15 in one-run games. Several key players are in the middle of brutal month-long slumps.
Brad Stevens should take a page out of Danny Ainge’s playbook this offseason

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens has had to make some tough decisions since replacing Danny Ainge in 2021. This upcoming offseason, however, is shaping up to be his most challenging yet. Restrictive second-apron penalties will force Stevens and the C's to make noteworthy roster changes this summer.
Patriots OTA takeaways: Drake Maye improves, but offense still a step behind

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

The New England Patriots returned to the practice field Wednesday at Gillette Stadium for their second OTA session open to the media. Drake Maye's struggles were the biggest takeaway from their first open OTA practice as the second-year quarterback tossed four interceptions. While he improved on Wednesday, the offense still left plenty to be desired against a defense that had looked a step ahead so far this spring.

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

A great New England Patriots offensive lineman and two-time Super Bowl champion is calling it a career.

Here's when Kristian Campbell will make first career start at 1B

1 week ago | nbcsportsboston.com | Justin Leger

The Boston Red Sox are ready to get creative with their infield defense in the wake of first baseman Triston Casas' season-ending injury. Kristian Campbell is set to make his first career start at first base this weekend when the Red Sox visit the Atlanta Braves, manager Alex Cora confirmed. The rookie second baseman has spent the last two weeks learning to play the position. Romy Gonzalez, Abraham Toro, and Nick Sogard have split time at first base since Casas' injury.
