After falling to the skidding Royals on Friday night, the Red Sox will try and right the ship in Kansas City on Saturday afternoon. Martín Pérez has allowed 11 earned runs in 3 1/3 innings in his last two starts combined – Boston’s pitchers allowed a season-high 18 runs and 20 hits in Sunday’s loss […]
“We’re just sitting here waiting to find out about expansion,” said Wellesley-based agent Matt Keator, who reps a range of clients from Zdeno Chara to Oliver Wahlstrom. However, general managers likely have learned their lessons from the 2017 Vegas draft, where Golden Knights GM George McPhee was able to score Shea Theodore, Alex Tuch and […]

The announcement comes after ESPN fired Pierce in April for live-streaming himself smoking what appeared to be marijuana, with exotic dancers twerking in the background.
