The Rafael Devers trade, one year later: Red Sox still missing a big bat like that www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/11/s...
Today marks 20 years since Doug Mirabelli’s wild ride, from California to Fenway in time for Yankees-Red Sox. You might know the story. But have you heard from the air traffic controller and the state trooper? New: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/01/s...
"I’ve got to be all in on this, because I’m leaving something so good behind." Inside Connelly Early’s ‘hardest decision of my life’: leaving West Point for baseball (and eventually the Red Sox) www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/09/s...
Glenn Sherlock was a St. John’s Prep star and Globe All-Scholastic in 1979. Then he spent 43 years in pro baseball, including 31 seasons in the majors. The story of a behind-the-scenes baseball lifer with a front-row seat to history: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/26/s...
Masataka Yoshida was locked in and ready for live BP with nobody on the mound yet.
Ceddanne Rafaela was surprised and then amped to have a package from Rawlings this morning: a specially designed glove for the WBC, orange and black and bearing the Netherlands flag on one of the fingers. “It’s sick,” he said. “They surprised me with that one.”
I’ve been thinking about this, from Alex Cora on the day the Red Sox’ season ended up ending, ever since. It sounds like an invite, doesn’t it?? Alex Cora: I accept. I’m in. Thank you.
A season that for me started in Port St. Lucie finished, fittingly, in New York. Beginning to sudden end, it was a great time. I’m so fortunate to do this for a living. Shout out to Red Sox fans — and especially Globe readers — for welcoming me to a new beat. Excited for more!
One of my favorite parts of this is Jarren Duran’s description of Greg Weissert during the Red Sox’ brutal flight to Minnesota. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/15/s...
Happy Sunday from Fenway! Today is the Red Sox’ third morning start of the year.
TD Garden was absolutely packed and very loud for the Caitlin Clark game tonight.
Alex Cora said Garrett Crochet is a leader of the pitching staff, comparing him to Alex Bregman for hitters. "With the contract, stuff comes with the territory. You have to be that guy. We haven’t had a guy like that in a while."
The injured Triston Casas made a cameo at Yankee Stadium, visiting with a group of Best Buddies participants as part of his recently launched Triston Casas Foundation. Casas took the train round trip today so he could do this and still be in Boston for knee rehab in the morning.
There is a chance of rain basically all afternoon in St. Louis, but I’m taking the lack of tarp on the field as a good sign.
It is “The Walking Dead” night at Citi Field. There are zombies at Mets batting practice.
METS WEATHER… Yesterday in Sacramento: 80s, sunny, delightful Today in Minneapolis: 48 degrees, feels like 32, getting colder, cloudy
For the first time since 2020 in Buffalo, the Mets will play regular-season games in a minor-league ballpark this weekend. The Don’t Call Them Oakland Athletics’ temporary home is Sutter Health Park, which they are sharing with the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats (Giants).
It’s a beautiful day for baseball (and a home opener … and Juan Soto’s first game at Citi Field as a member of the Mets … and Pete Alonso’s return)
The Empire State Building is lit up blue and orange tonight in advance of the Mets’ home opener tomorrow.
Johan Santana and Edgardo Alfonzo are at Mets-Marlins (and drawing a crowd).
I love Opening Day, but you know what else is great? The second day of the season (and all of the others after that). Just as much baseball, just as much potential for entertainment, even without the hoopla.
The Mets announced that they will wear this uniform sleeve patch all season in honor of Ed Kranepool, who died in September.
Here is the Mets’ roster for the “Spring Breakout” prospect showcase game against the Nationals on March 16 (via MLB).
The Mets sent 13 players to minor-league camp, including most of the top prospects who had been on the major-league side. They have 57 players still in big-league camp.
