Potential Red Sox First Base Option Opens After White Sox Move A potential first base option opened for the Red Sox after the White Sox DFA'd this former fan favorite player.

some Bobby Dalbec propaganda, which I promise wasn't written by @keaganstiefel.bsky.social #RedSox nesn.com/2025/05/pote...

Seth McLaughlin in the 5th?

Garrett Bradbury/Cole Strange/Ben Brown aren't long-term answers. The #Patriots can trust they have a stopgap, but I would keep looking.

Patriots' Mike Vrabel Reveals Key Information About Free Agency The New England Patriots have brought aboard quite a few familiar faces this offseason, and for good reason.

β€œI don’t know how you could do free agency any differently... It really helps when you know somebody, or you’ve coached them, or a trusted personnel member has been with that player. It’s important.”

The #Patriots aren't keeping secrets, but it's still remarkable how many of their signings have experience with the staff.

Morgan Moses ➑️ Downing
Carlton Davis ➑️ Williams
Robert Spillane ➑️ McDaniels
Harold Landry ➑️ Vrabel
Josh Dobbs ➑️ Vrabel
Mack Hollins ➑️ McDaniels
K'Lavon Chaisson ➑️ Marrone

"You don't need a miracle to win football games. You just need the right people in the building."

Morgan Moses is one of the most impressive players I've ever heard from -- no wasted breath. I'd throw the captain's patch on him immediately.

Patriots Taking Right Approach To Odd Joe Milton III Situation Patriots quarterback Joe Milton III likely won't be sticking around long-term, but that doesn't mean he needs to be shipped off immediately.

Joe Milton III probably isn’t long for New England.

The Patriots know that, but they’re smartly keeping their cards close to the vest.

Life Update: NESN eliminated the editorial staff last week, which unfortunately included my position.

It’s tough timing, but I’ll still be producing content until May before becoming a free agent. I’m open to opportunities, so send them my way.

We move.

Next Up? How Patriots Should Follow Up Decent Free Agency Start The Patriots didn't exactly turn themselves into a contender on Monday, but they've had a decent start to free agency. What's next, though?

The #Patriots had a decent start to free agency, but what’s next?

It’s complicated, but their best course of action could be exploring creative options throughout the remainder of the offseason.

New England Patriots legend Mack Hollins

10.03.2025 23:56 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I’d expect the #Patriots to do these three things over the coming days:

1. sign Patrick Mekeri
2. add another IDL
3. check back in on Brandon Aiyuk

10.03.2025 18:34 β€” πŸ‘ 9    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Who’s next, folks?

WR? S? OL?

10.03.2025 18:20 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 1

The #Patriots are having a decent afternoon…

Harold Landry (3yr, $43M)
Carlton Davis (3yr, $60M)
Robert Spillane (3yr, $37M)
Morgan Moses (3yr, $24M)
Milton Williams (4yr, $100M+)

… and should have plenty of room to do more.

10.03.2025 18:15 β€” πŸ‘ 12    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The Patriots swoop in and steal Milton Williams from the Carolina Panthers… for $26M per.

Am I good or am I good?

probably not a mistake after all.

10.03.2025 17:36 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

They need a LT.

RT, has only ever played LT in emergency situations.

New England is signing Morgan Moses to a 3yr, $24M deal, per Mike Garafolo. Moses is a good player, but this deal requires a continued search for help at tackle.

The #Patriots shouldn’t be done.

10.03.2025 17:32 β€” πŸ‘ 14    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 3

Milton Williams?!?!

Dianna Rossini reports that the deal hasn’t been finalized with CAR…

The #Patriots still have options, folks.

Javon Hargrave? Sebastian Joseph-Day? Tershawn Wharton? Levi Onwuzurike? NE could put the finishing touches on a completely revamped defensive unit as early as today.

10.03.2025 17:26 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

JJ is going to command too much for the role he’d play, I think he’ll get more elsewhere.

Marcus is the size thing, though I think he’d be a fun chess piece defensively. He just isn’t a full-time guy in this system.

10.03.2025 17:16 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

the #Patriots at least have been able to sign players who have some connection to the coaching staff.

10.03.2025 17:13 β€” πŸ‘ 7    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The #Patriots should say fuck it and just go sign one of those safeties.

Nate Hobbs playing in the slot between Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis?

ooooooooweeeeeeeeeee

10.03.2025 17:12 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Jonathan Jones looks to be as good as gone. Marcus Jones doesn’t feel like a fit in the slot.

I wonder how they’d feel about adding another external guy?

10.03.2025 17:11 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

The #Patriots are looking pretty good at CB…

Carlton Davis gets a 3yr, $60M deal, giving them a ball-hawking option opposite Christian Gonzalez.

10.03.2025 17:09 β€” πŸ‘ 11    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 1

The #Patriots should be shifting their focus to Levi Onwuzurike, wouldn’t be surprised to see a deal come together rather quickly.

Milton Williams to the Carolina Panthers… aaaaaaaand this is a disastrous start.

10.03.2025 17:01 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Dan Moore to TEN. Jaylon Moore to KC.

It’s feeling like Cam Robinson or bust for NE.

10.03.2025 17:01 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Versatile, reliable tackler, former captain.

I guess, man.
