Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
The Blue Jays picked up Tyler Heineman off waivers from the Red Sox in September of 2024, and he got into five games with the Jays, after playing two with the Red Sox. Before that, he played parts of four seasons with three different teams. He had 10 games with the Jays in 2022. He’d […]
I’m going to reiterate something up front that I said in the Bullets, but which I think provides really important context for all discussions of what contract Alex Bregman may or may not be able to get in free agency: Alex Bregman’s deal with the Red Sox was not “three years and $120 million, for a $40 million AAV.” It was massively deferred, and the ACTUAL VALUE – as calculated by the union for luxury tax purposes – was three years and just $95 million, for a $31.7 million AAV. That’s a big d...

Seeing the Boston Bruins logo near the top of the Atlantic Division is a familiar sight – we just didn’t think we’d see it there this season. After finishing 5th worst overall a season ago, trading icon Brad Marchand, there was no signal of a rebuild in Beantown. Instead, the classic method of retool was…
Thanks again to BCB reader JayWent for this article suggestion. Kris Bubic has talent — he was a No. 1 pick (40th overall) in 2018 out of Stanford. If that date and school sounds familiar, it should, because Nico Hoerner was the Cubs’ No. 1 pick out of Stanford that year, thus Bubic and Hoerner […]
It might not be on the level of Tom Brady returning to New England to face off against Bill Belichick, but this week will see another reunion between two successful former collaborators. Mike Vrabel and Derrick Henry, who spent six seasons together in Tennessee, will square off on Sunday night when the Patriots take on […]
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. Next up, an in-house veteran who is one of the best hitters in the game… in one particular scenario. […]
The one where the Buffalo Bills held a Boston tee party. Did the Buffalo Bills prove anything last Sunday against the New England Patriots? Among quite a few things, the Bills reminded the Patriots that they have a lot of work to do to prove they’re a legitimate playoff team. Though the Bills may still […]
Ignoring the fact the Red Sox don’t do guaranteed long-term free agents contracts anymore (they literally have not handed a deal to a free agent for more than two years guaranteed with no opt outs under Craig Breslow), I’d like to pause for a moment and pretend they’ll actually get serious. Simple question: Who would […]
Fresh off a demoralizing 35-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the New England Patriots will get a chance to bounce back in front of a national audience. Their Week 16 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens was flexed to Sunday night, a slot fitting for the game’s high-stakes nature. The Patriots need a win to keep […]
Someone thought four games in six days was a good idea.
Following two straight home games, the Patriots will be back on the road in Week 16 as travel to Baltimore to take on a Ravens team fighting for their playoff spot. Throughout the year, Mike Vrabel’s squad is a perfect 6-0 on the road as they’ve adapted a road warriors mindset. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs […]
Through his first 21 NBA games, one thing has been made clear about Celtics first round pick Hugo Gonzalez, he impacts winning. According to PBP Stats, the Celtics net rating is 8.9 points better with Gonzalez on the floor vs. when he is on the bench. The sample is small, just 247 minutes, but I […]
The New England Patriots are currently in their 66th season, and for 51 of them Nancy Meier has been part of the organization. Now, the team’s longest-tenured employee is getting ready for retirement. Meier will not extend her contract after it runs out in May, according to a report by Ben Fischer of Sports Business […]
After meeting with 10 players on Tuesday, the Steelers worked out for more on Wednesday, according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. Pittsburgh worked out edge rushers Ronnie Perkins, Isaiah Thomas, Casey Toohill, and Oshane Ximines. Perkins has one of the best pedigrees of the bunch, a former third-round pick by the Patriots in 2021. He’s bounced […]
The New England Patriots turned the page to the Baltimore Ravens without five starters on the defensive side of the ball. Linebackers Harold Landry III, Robert Spillane and Christian Elliss did not participate in Wednesday’s practice in Foxborough. Neither did cornerbacks Carlton Davis III and Marcus Jones. Here’s the initial injury report heading into Sunday’s […]
Andreas Christensen was back in the Barcelona starting XI on Tuesday in the Copa del Rey win over Guadalajara in what was a very welcome return to action for the Dane. The defender had only made three starts for Barcelona this season before the game, with injuries once again affecting his involvement. Christensen may have […]

The New England Patriots sorely missed linebacker Robert Spillane during last week’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, and his outlook remains unclear heading toward Week 16. On Wednesday, before the team headed out to its first practice of the week, Spillane was spotted in the locker room wearing a walking boot on his ailing left […]
The New England Patriots’ practice squad has returned to capacity. The organization announced the signing of linebacker Amari Gainer on Wednesday, bringing the group back to 17 players. Gainer, 25, entered the NFL with the Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2024. He cleared waivers at the 53-man roster deadline in August […]

And if you aren’t always able to send a representative, would you consider allowing a commenter to do so? Yanyan: Yes, we try to be at […]

Up 24-7 at the half, the New England Patriots were merely 30 minutes away from beating the Buffalo Bills to secure the AFC East title. What happened next has been talked about ad nauseam over the last few days: the Patriots collapsed in the second half and saw their lead evaporate before eventually losing 35-31. […]
