Share this: Rafael Devers hasn’t made his Major League Baseball debut yet, but he said he’s already putting in major league work. The 20-year-old third baseman got the call up to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday after just nine games with Triple-A Pawtucket, and he’s anxious to get on the field. Devers told reporters in Seattle on Monday during Boston’s series against the Mariners that he already has big plans for his career. “For me, the work is never done,” Devers said through a translator, per WEEI.com. “I just want to learn how to be a superstar third baseman. Everyone tells me the only way to do that is through constant work, just like when you’re hitting you have to do constant

Draymond Green Laughs Off Damian Lillard’s Prediction For Next Season
Share this: The Portland Trail Blazers appear to be hot in their pursuit of Carmelo Anthony, as the team’s stars believe the forward can take the team to new heights. C.J. McCollum believes the addition of Anthony would make Portland one of the top three teams in the Western Conference, while backcourt mate Damian Lillard thinks the 10-time All-Star would make the Blazers a matchup nightmare for their opponents, even the vaunted Golden State Warriors. It’s safe to say Draymond Green doesn’t agree with Lillard’s take, which the Warriors forward made overtly obvious via his Instagram photo Thursday. Green and The Dubs certainly have bragging rights over the Blazers at present, as Golden State handily swept Portland in the teams’ first-round playoff series this
Oklahoma State Punter Creates Hilarious ’90s-Style Website For Heisman Campaign
Share this: Oklahoma State’s Zach Sinor wants to be the first punter to win the Heisman Trophy, and he has a pretty awesome website to make his case. Sinor certainly has accomplished a lot in just two seasons with the Cowboys, finishing his sophomore season as the nation’s leader in percentage of punts downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line (62.5 percent), number of punts downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line (35) and opponents’ starting field position. But if that wasn’t enough to convince you he’s the best player in college football — it probably wasn’t — then just check out some of his 1990s-inspired website. Sinor was born in 1995, so we’re not too sure how much of the decade he actually remembers,
Henrik Stenson Returns Claret Jug In Mercedes’ Self-Driving Living Room
It’s a tradition for the winner of the British Open to return the following year to present the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews with the Claret Jug. This year, though, Henrik Stenson could have let the trophy make the trip to Scotland by itself. That’s because Stenson rocked up at The Open Championship on Monday in the driverless Mercedes-Benz F015 Luxury in Motion concept. The F015, essentially a living room on wheels, is Mercedes’ take on what cars will be like once autonomous driving technology becomes mainstream. It features suicide doors for ease of entry and exit, as well as four chairs that can swivel to face each other and
NBA Rumors: Knicks Pause Carmelo Anthony Trade Talks With Cavs, Rockets
Share this: The Houston Rockets might be the frontrunner to land New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony via trade, but the chances of a deal happening soon don’t look good. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski provided an update on the talks Thursday night. Story posting soon with @RamonaShelburne on ESPN: The Knicks have paused Carmelo Anthony trade talks with Houston and Cleveland. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 14, 2017 Recent reports indicated a Melo-to-the-Rockets trade was “at the 2-yard line,” but apparently that’s not the case. Houston has been busy this offseason. It pulled off a blockbuster trade for veteran point guard Chris Paul and signed veteran small forward PJ Tucker as a free agent. Adding a top scorer like Anthony to an already potent offense that includes James
NBA Changes Timeout Rules For 2017-18 Season; Should Speed Up Games
NBA games are full of fast-paced, exciting action, but too often that fun stalls in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter when coaches take several timeouts to make sure they create quality looks at the basket. In an effort to speed up the game, the league approved some timeout changes that will go into effect next season. Check out the details of the changes in the “NESN Sports Today” video above, presented by People’s United Bank. ... NESN.com
Porsche Tuner Puts Manual In 911 GT3 RS, Confirming Unicorns Are Real
There are very few absolute truths in the automotive world, but one thing that enthusiasts have begrudgingly accepted as fact is that Porsche won’t make a 911 GT3 RS with a manual transmission. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still have one. Ormond Beach, Fla.-based BGB Motorsports, which runs Porsches in the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, recently posted pictures and videos of a customer’s GT3 RS that it has almost finished converting to a manual. BGB’s office manager Wray Gillette told Road & Track that it purchased the six-speed manual from a 911 R from a Porsche dealer for $ 22,000 and is charging $ 45,000 to fit it
