Revised Red Sox coaching staff finds its way (and its second straight win)
TORONTO — Monday was Ernie Clement Hockey Jersey Night, and the line to get into Rogers Centre, four hours before first pitch, stretched for blocks through downtown Toronto. Some fans had been camped out since noon to make sure they were among the first 15,000 through the door.Because of the coveted giveaway, the Boston Red Sox took batting practice in front of a half-full ballpark. It was a massive pregame crowd — as if Mark McGwire were taking BP in 1998 — watching a brand-new coaching staff p...
Luke Kennard once lit up Ohio. Now he's doing it for LeBron James' Lakers
By the winter of 2015, the buzz had made it to Loveland, Ohio, where 13-year-old Jaxson Hayes knew he needed to see it for himself. Word of a high-school junior hanging 51 points on Edgewood, 45 on Valley View and 53 on Bellbrook had people talking, and Hayes and his friends wanted in.“This was a really big deal,” Hayes told The Athletic.Advertisement
Canadiens goalie Jakub Dobeš maximizes his strengths through fearless aggression
When Dustin Carlson met Jakub Dobeš in 2021, Dobeš was a freshman goalie at Ohio State University who loved hockey, winning and Chinese food buffets.Carlson, who coached Ohio State’s goalies from 2017-24, knew Dobeš was destined for greatness.“When he got to us, his skating was already elite,” Carlson recalled. “Every movement was crisp, hard and agile. Right away, you’re like, if this guy is 6-foot-4 and can move like that, as long as he can stop pucks, he’s going to the NHL.”Advertisement
Who will be the Vikings' next general manager? The 11 most likely candidates
MINNEAPOLIS — Leadership is a trait that often gets lost among the duties of an NFL general manager, but it probably warrants the top spot. This is a front-facing position.

Free agency is mostly finished. The 2026 NFL Draft is complete. The Vikings said they’d wait until late April or early May to chart the future,...

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles is the latest gem from NBA's outstanding rookie class
TORONTO — Collin Murray-Boyles either didn’t hear the conversation or didn’t care. Given how he carries himself, both are equally plausible.RJ Barrett and Jamal Shead, Murray-Boyles’ teammates, were talking about the rookie’s unusual sturdiness for a first-year player. You know how “Once he gets stronger…” leads most projections about a prospect’s potential? Well, that doesn’t apply to Murray-Boyles, who, listed at 6-foot-7 and 245 pounds, is not getting any help from the league’s trusted measur...
Tigers by the numbers: 10 stats that explain an up-and-down start
DETROIT — Is there anything trickier than deciphering baseball in April?The Tigers so far have a 15-14 record. They have had moments of great excitement, like Spencer Torkelson’s walk-off home run and a 6-0 homestand earlier in the month. They have also had puzzling lows, like a four-game sweep in Minnesota and a maddening blown lead Friday night against the Reds.The sample is growing larger, but it all seems very much like a team still sorting out the kinks.Here are 10 key numbers that explain...
Arsenal need Kai Havertz alternative to offer more than Viktor Gyokeres. What are the options?
Kai Havertz was not the only one feeling a sense of resignation when he was forced off with injury after 34 minutes against Newcastle United on Saturday. Those watching inside and outside the Emirates Stadium knew the dynamic of the match was about to shift.Havertz had started Arsenal’s last two games up front and helped provide a platform that allowed for longer spells of possession and attacks. Coming on in his place against Newcastle was Viktor Gyokeres — and his performance would not have su...

The Knicks' offense flowed with Karl-Anthony Towns as the hub. Can they keep it up?
Signs of an adjusted offense were obvious just after tip-off. The New York Knicks had fallen behind 2-1 in their Eastern Conference first-round series. The Atlanta Hawks had a chance to come within a win of ending New York’s season. And so, a desperate team turned to a place it hadn’t reached so often since autumn.Advertisement

If Arvell Reese wasn't available, who would the Giants have taken?: Draft notebook
The Titans threw a curveball when they took Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate with the fourth pick. That selection blew up many mock drafts, including the “zillions” of simulations conducted by the Giants.It was so unlikely that Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese would make it to the fifth pick that it seemed odd that the team even used one of its 30 pre-draft visits on the 6-foot-4, 241-pounder. Even if Reese dropped to No. 5, it seemed like that would invite a trade back by the Giants, who...
