Red Sox notebook: Paxton and Giolito perhaps, but no Maldonado

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:45:14 GMT

The free-agent pitching market is heating up, and all eyes are on the Red Sox, who’ve already been on the hot seat for almost two months after chairman Tom Werner promoised a “full throttle” offseason.There’s mutual interest in a reunion with James Paxton, who was arguably Boston’s best starter from his season debut in early May until the the All-Star break, even earning American League Player of the Month honors in June. Yet the veteran left-hander’s lengthy injury history, which includes missing the entire ’22 Red Sox season and nearly two months of ’23 (between his late debut and season-ending injured list stint at the start of September) is cause for concern. Signings such as Paxton’s are one of the key reasons the Red Sox finished last three times in the past four seasons. They need durability from their starting rotation, and Paxton, who only pitched 21 2/3 innings between the ’20 and ’21 seasons, hasn’t b...

Robert Kraft disheartened over rising antisemitism, calls out Hamas supporters: ‘These are terrorists’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:45:14 GMT

Robert Kraft says the rising number of antisemitic incidents across the country is “disheartening,” and it’s renewing his belief that education is the most important tool in getting people to stand up to hate.“If we don’t do a good job controlling it, I think hate leads to violence,” Kraft said in an interview with CNN on Christmas. “And what we’re seeing going on in this country now is really scary to me. And it’s something we want to work very hard to try to prevent.”Preventing antisemitism is the purpose behind Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, which the Patriots owner launched in 2019 to carry out efforts to stomp down on Jewish hate and other forms of hatred in the U.S.Since Hamas’ attack on Israel in early October, the number of antisemitic incidents in the country has skyrocketed to a record high, according to a report the Anti-Defamation League released earlier this month.The ADL found that reported incidents of assault, harassment and vandalism ha...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un praised what he called achievements and victories that strengthened national power and boosted the country’s prestige this year, as he opened a key political meeting to set new policy goals for 2024, state media reported Wednesday.Experts said that during this week’s year-end plenary meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party, North Korea would likely hype its progress in arms development because the country lacks economic achievements amid persistent international sanctions and pandemic-related economic hardships.
