A familiar face returned to the mound Monday for the Boston Red Sox. Left-handed starter David Price made his first start of the 2017 season after an elbow injury sidelined him for most of the first two months, and start No. 1 was a solid debut, although Boston lost 5-4 to the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. Hear what Price had to say about his performance in the video from “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank, above. ... NESN.com

Josh Norman Predicts ‘Bad Blood,’ Rips Odell Beckham Jr., Dez Bryant
Share this: There could be some fireworks in the NFC East during the 2017 NFL season. Josh Norman has had his battles with star receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Dez Bryant, but the Washington Redskins cornerback believes the upcoming season could be a whole different story. “Trust me when I tell you, it’s going to be bad blood this year,” Norman told Bleacher Report’s Tyler Dunne. “You think the NFC East didn’t like each other before? This year right here? There’s going to be a lot of fines and maybe some suspensions. “I’m going to be honest with you: This s— is going to get really ugly. Because I do have a safety (D.J. Swearinger) that don’t give a f— and I definitely don’t. And

Red Sox Notes: Rick Porcello Still In Search Of Dominant Form Early On
Share this: On most nights, what Rick Porcello gave the Boston Red Sox wouldn’t have been enough. The reigning American League Cy Young winner gave up five runs (four earned) on a season-high 11 hits during the Red Sox’s 11-6 win over the Texas Rangers at Fenway Park. Porcello hasn’t been able to find the form that propelled him to the prestigious award last season, as his ERA now stands at 4.35 after Tuesday’s mediocre showing. The right-hander’s season stats mirror his career averages, which are a far cry from the dominant 2016 season that Porcello put together. His career ERA of 4.20 is just a shade under his season ERA, while his home runs per nine innings (1.6), Fielding Independent Pitching (3.94) and his
Red Sox Prospect Report: Reassessing The Farm System Through First Quarter Of Season
It’s a weird time for the Boston Red Sox farm system given the overhaul at the major league level in the last 18 months or so. Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has made some splashy moves since taking over, and that’s taken quite the toll on the Red Sox minor league system. The list of the organization’s top prospects looks much different than it did even a year ago, but there are still some interesting names who could soon make headlines — either in the organization or as a piece in a potential trade to further shake up a major league team that’s been mediocre through nearly two months of
Danny Ainge Lauds Isaiah Thomas, Thanks Celtics Guard For ‘Legendary’ Season
Share this: Isaiah Thomas’ season officially is over, and the Boston Celtics’ campaign isn’t far behind. But what a season it was for the diminutive point guard. Thomas was ruled out for the remainder of the NBA postseason Saturday with a significant right hip injury that he re-aggravated in Game 2 of Boston’s Eastern Conference finals matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Shortly after the team made the announcement, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge thanked Thomas on Twitter for what he described as a “legendary” season. There are plenty of facts to back up Ainge’s statement. Thomas led the Eastern Conference in scoring during the regular season with 28.9 points per game, and his 2,199 points were the fifth-most ever by a Celtics
