A total of seven trades took place before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, but the New England Patriots decided not to get in on the action.

With starter Kayshon Boutte working through a hamstring injury, the New England Patriots have added perimeter depth.

The 2025 NFL trade deadline is nearing, and the New England Patriots might be approaching it differently than the last few seasons. After all, they are well on their way to returning to the playoffs after a three-year absence. Despite their 6-2 record, however, there is no guarantee they fall into the “buyers” camp this […]
Though right-hander Keegan Thompson spent the entirety of the 2025 season at the AAA level within the Chicago Cubs organization, the Cincinnati Reds signed him to a major league deal earlier on Tuesday. Thompson, 30, does have ample big league experience, however. A former 33rd round pick of the Detroit Tigers and later a 3rd […]
The Detroit Lions have made a move on the offensive line, but it isn’t exactly the trade deadline blockbuster some were hoping for. According to his agency, offensive lineman Jack Conley is reportedly signing to the Lions’ practice squad. Conley, a rookie, went undrafted this year, but quickly signed with the New England Patriots. While […]

Having lost seven of their first eight games, the New York Jets have very much closed the book on the 2025 NFL season. They are acting accordingly on the trade market as well. Only hours before the NFL trade deadline, they made two major moves: cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams — arguably […]

The Boston Celtics dropped to 3–5 last night after a tough 105–103 home loss to the Utah Jazz. It was one of the uglier performances in recent memory, though Jaylen Brown’s 36-point effort nearly salvaged the night. Even in a win, that kind of performance would’ve sparked some tough questions, but after Jusuf Nurkic’s putback […]
Falcons fans at Gillette Stadium waved their “Rise Up” signs to rally the visiting team on Sunday, but it was the Patriots who took it to heart. Another win gave them six in a row plus another boost up the power rankings. New England is showing consistency in a chaotic NFL year. Last week, seven […]
There is a report today from Mike Giardi of the Boston Sports Journal that the Tennessee Titans are unwilling to make any trades with the New England Patriots because Amy Adams Strunk doesn’t want to help Mike Vrabel.

After making the team’s Opening Day 2025 roster, it was a quick exit from Atlanta for the veteran reserve catcher, Chadwick Tromp, who originally joined the organization back in 2021. How acquired? Tromp was an international free agent signee by the Cincinnati Reds in 2013 out of Aruba. He made his big league debut in […]
Sorry about the lack of preview today, folks — got our wires crossed as to who was taking what, much like the mid-October Bruins in their own zone. Some quick hits: Other than that…discuss.
The Celtics really did look like they were tanking that game. No effort on the boards, no energy and terrible shooting. For guys who are good shooters, it's hard to believe that they are all shooting that badly. Sad to see that most of them don't like Will Hardy. Even Jazz fans saw that the trip on Jaylen was a bad no call. That list of AJ, Brown and Tatum makes losing look very tempting. But, the lottery has not usually been kind to the Celtics and I wouldn...
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell Hunter Dobbins debuted earlier than just about everyone expected and was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, injuries cut his season short. The Good According to Baseball Savant, Dobbins threw six different pitches. I’ll ignore his sinker, because there are only 13 of them, and they’re close enough to his splitter to […]
There are two things that are pretty paramount for making a sports team something you’ll go out of your way to watch, and the first is obvious: You’ve got to win games. Winning is enjoyable. It’s satisfying. It’s engaging to see the team whose logo you wear on your hat score more points before the […]
Injuries are piling up along the offensive line, with Storm Norton still not back and both Chris Lindstrom and Matthew Bergeron exiting the Week 9 game against the New England Patriots. Given that, it’s not a huge surprise to see Atlanta adding an offensive lineman to the roster. It is a bit surprising that it’s […]
#1 – Jaylen Brown: energy shifter After being in control for the first half, the game slipped away from the Celtics’ hands in the third quarter. After scoring only 36 points in the first 24 minutes, the Jazz scored 38 points in the first 12 minutes after the break. If the Celtics were able to […]
It will come as no surprise to A’s Nation readers that the Athletics have two of the the three finalists for the Jackie Robinson American League Rookie-of-the-Year Award.

Adrian Martinez’ time with Nebraska – and then a season at Kansas State – has been well-chronicled. He then interned with the Huskers Athletic Department before being signed by the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions for the 2024 season. It worked out pretty well. The Stallions ended up winning the UFL league championship and Martinez was awarded […]
As if the Colorado Rockies’ search for a president of baseball operations/general manager weren’t already weird enough, yesterday, it took another bizarre twist with this from Tim Healy of the Boston Globe: Healy’s reporting was confirmed by Patrick Saunders later in the day. You can read Purple Row’s coverage of the disintegrating search for a […]
