Red Sox

Nationals took a chance at trade deadline, Red Sox did not

The Sox didn’t make any trades, essentially giving up on their season.

A bad year for the Red Sox isn’t getting any better in October

Nobody seems to want their vacant general manager’s job, and that’s just one troubling sign.

Red Sox can learn from their recent experience with GM-by-committee

They went through this before in 2005, and though it was unwieldy, things were accomplished.

Patriots

Demaryius Thomas calls stay with Patriots ‘a waste of time’

The receiver, who will face his former team on Monday night at MetLife, said he was treated “like I’m just a rookie” when he was released, re-signed then traded.

Terrence Brooks has expanded his duties since joining Patriots

The former special teamer is also getting a lot of snaps with the defense as he gets ready to face his former team, the Jets, on Monday night.

Here’s how the Patriots could work out a deal and stay under the cap

They don’t have much room this year, which is unusual, but the salary cap numbers can be manipulated.

Bruins

David Krejci is a scratch against the Lightning

The Bruins’ No. 2 center is still hurting from taking a slash in the arm against Anaheim Monday.

The new Brad Marchand: No licking, plenty of production

The Bruins’ star left winger has made good on his promise of restraint this season, with excellent results.

Once again, production beyond the No. 1 line of Bergeron-Marchand-Pastrnak is lacking.

Celtics

In Celtics’ strong rookie class, Carsen Edwards and Tremont Waters emerge as key roster additions

Edwards and Waters are more prepared to contribute this season than initially believed.

What happened to LeBron James the social justice champion?
