Good afternoon!
Your daily rundown of what’s going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what’s about to happen…
Ahead of the NHL trade deadline, the Bruins got their guy — acquiring both Taylor Hall and Curtis Lazar from Buffalo in exchange for Anders Bjork and a second-round pick.
Given the cost, this should be a steal for the Bruins. Boston also swung a trade for a defenseman in Mike Reilly.
The Red Sox continue to stay red-hot — sweeping the Orioles off of a 6-homer barrage on Sunday.
But the road ahead is about to get much tougher for the Sox, as Sean writes.
In Greg's first NFL Mock Draft, there are two trade-up for QBs — but neither involved the Patriots.
Don't look now, but the Celtics are getting on a roll — with the C's beating a very tough Nuggets team on the road Sunday.
It's not worth drawing too many conclusions from a shorthanded B's D corps getting lit up by the Caps on Sunday.
If the Patriots stand pat at No. 15 overall - who could be available for them? There may not be a premier QB, but there's still plenty of talent.
John breaks down the Celtics' impressive run that led to Sunday's win in Denver.
Sean counters some false early-season narratives in his latest MLB Notebook.
Time to hit the links…
