A little bit of everything for @NBCSBoston but a baseball guy at heart.
Hilarious:
Hilarious: Aaron Rodgers realized the toilet in his & DK Metcalf's suite flushes loudly. So he told DK, "At night, if we have to piss, just don't flush the toilet." Wednesday night, DK texted: "You asleep yet?" Aaron wasn't. "Bet. I'm about to flush the toilet." Rodgers and…
I really thought he'd be the first baseman that the Red Sox would land. Ryan O'Hearn it is, then?
Left-hander Brandyn Garcia and right-hander Ashton Izzi are headed back to the Arizona Diamondbacks from the Seattle Mariners for first baseman Josh Naylor, sources tell ESPN. That's the full trade. And so begins deadline season. Buckle up.

Starting to feel real foolish for buying in after that 10-game win streak

The Narvaez struggles are starting to worry me too. He has looked worn down for a little while now. I really do think catcher is such a sneaky big deadline need.
Gotta get a backup catcher before the deadline. Can’t do the Connor Wong thing anymore
Of all the realistic pitcher trade targets the Red Sox have been linked to, I'm most intrigued by Merrill Kelly (D'Backs) and Kris Bubic (Royals). Kelly is a 36-year-old rental, but he's a proven No. 2 starter who should be relatively cheap and can propel you to a postseason…

Could Red Sox first-round pick Kyson Witherspoon really make his MLB debut in 2026? "A hundred percent, I think he can do that," his college coach @CoachJohnsonOU said. More here: nbcsportsboston.com/mlb/boston-red…
I asked Red Sox first-rounder Kyson Witherspoon's college coach, @CoachJohnsonOU, to describe Witherspoon in one word: "Warrior. ... I would have said rattlesnake, too. Because if you get bit by him, you're gonna get hurt. If you get bit by Kyson, it ain't fun."
"He's a culture changer." I talked to Oklahoma's head baseball coach @CoachJohnsonOU, who explained what Red Sox first-rounder Kyson Witherspoon will bring to Boston on and off the field: nbcsportsboston.com/mlb/boston-red…
Pitching is the priority, but first base and catcher are areas the Red Sox could look to address before the trade deadline. Here are five potential position player trade targets: nbcsportsboston.com/mlb/boston-red…
Cool gesture: The Texas Rangers gave starter Nathan Eovaldi the $100,000 All-Star bonus in his contract even though he didn’t make the American League team. Eovaldi has been brilliant this season, posting a 1.58 ERA over 91 innings. He’s one of the most respected players in MLB.
How can you not be romantic about baseball

Still true three years later. Maybe switch NBA and NHL.

The Red Sox should upgrade their taxed bullpen with one or two reliable relievers before the trade deadline. Here are 10 options they should consider: nbcsportsboston.com/mlb/boston-red…
Christian Gonzalez soon
Term update: Jets and CB Sauce Gardner reached the agreement on a four-year deal that ties him to the team for the next six seasons, through 2030. It’s the same structure and length as Garrett Wilson’s deal Monday. Gardner’s deal includes $60 million guaranteed.
Listen I love Jim Rice but he couldn’t be more out of touch here
Jim Rice: “The Big 3 is not anything like us. Don’t compare them with us. Don’t compare them with us. You look at opposing teams that we played, (they) were much better than what you see now. The pitching was much better than what you see now.” masslive.com/redsox/2025/07…
