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

Mutiny Alert: Chicago White Sox Owner Shows Support For The Cubs
The Chicago Cubs bandwagon is getting pretty full these days, and you can add their crosstown rival’s owner to the passenger manifest. Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner of the Chicago White Sox, hasn’t been shy about his support for the Cubs and their pursuit of the franchise’s first World Series Championship since 1908. “I think it would be great for Chicago if the Cubs won!” Reinsdorf told The Chicago Sun-Times’ Michael Sneed. “Cubs fans have suffered enough. They deserve to have a winner. It would be great for the city.” To Reinsdorf’s credit, he knows those statements may not go over well. “My White Sox fans won’t be ha... NESN.com
MLB Trade Rumors: White Sox Listening On Sale/Quintana; Red Sox Interested
The Chicago White Sox are at least contemplating a major overhaul, and the Boston Red Sox are among the potential suitors. The White Sox haven’t made any decisions yet, but longtime MLB insider Jon Heyman reported Friday on TodaysKnuckleball.com that the White Sox are at least listening to offers on pitchers Chris Sale and Jose Quintana. “The Red Sox, who already have made four trades, are said by some insiders to be greatly interested in the star pitchers, especially Sale, but the list of interested suitors is expected to be extremely long,” Heyman wrote. Heyman noted that there’s “no certainty” either pitcher will be traded, noting... NESN.com
Red Sox Notes: Boston Blows ‘Golden Opportunity’ In Loss To White Sox
by Zack Cox on Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 11:57PM 1,441 BOSTON — Victory appeared all but certain Monday night for the Red Sox, who loaded the bases in the ninth inning of a tie game against the Chicago White Sox. None of those three baserunners made it the final 90 feet to home plate, however, and Chicago responded with two runs in the ensuing half-inning to hand Boston a thoroughly frustrating 3-1 loss at Fenway Park. It was the first time the Red Sox had failed to capitalize in such a sit...
White Sox Land James Shields In Trade With Padres, Bolster Strong Staff
One of the more coveted pitchers on Major League Baseball’s trade market is off the board. The Chicago White Sox have acquired right-hander James Shields from the San Diego Padres in exchange for minor league prospects Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis Jr. and cash considerations, the teams announced Saturday. Shields pitched well for San Diego this season despite his 2-7 record but went out on a sour note, getting crushed for 10 runs over 2 2/3 innings Monday and ballooning his 3.06 ERA to 4.28. The 34-year-old veteran and one-time All-Star will be a welcome addition on Chicago’s already-strong pitching staff, which is led by Cy Young can...
White Sox Pull Off Second Triple Play Of Season, Killing Late Astros Rally
The Chicago White Sox completed a rare feat Wednesday night … for the second time this season. With runners on first and second and no outs in the eighth inning, Chicago turned a 5-4-3 triple play. Incredibly, it was the second time this season Chicago has turned a triple play. It didn’t provide enough spark to come back and defeat the Houston Astros, though, and the Sox fell 5-3.

Red Sox Wrap: Clay Buchholz Recovers To Shut Down White Sox In 5-2 Win
If Wednesday night is any indication, Clay Buchholz is ready to turn the page. After a brutal month of April that saw the Boston Red Sox lose all five games he started, Buchholz rebounded in a big way at U.S. Cellular Field, stifling the American League-leading Chicago White Sox to lead his club to a 5-2 win. Designated hitter David Ortiz helped Buchholz earn his first victory of 2016 by launching a go-ahead, two-run home run in the fifth inning. Ortiz drove in three of Boston’s five runs. Here’s how it all went down: GAME IN A WORDComeback. Things didn’t look too good for Buchholz and the Red Sox out of...
