Boston announced the new "Fenway Greens" jerseys on social media, with a video highlighting the storied 37-foot wall. The clip was set to "Bein' Green," a song sung by Kermit the Frog on "The Muppet Show."

The jerseys themselves contain a number of details inspired by the Green Monster's unique scoreboard. The lettering and numbers on the uniforms replicate the hand-painted signs, while the specialized "B" logo is based off the "hit" and "error" symbols on the board.
The jerseys also have details noting the blue and red lights for balls, strikes and outs, and a patch on the inside collar honoring the year Fenway Park was built (1912) in a heather gray reminiscent of the wall's interior structure.

Massive Trade Idea Floated Has Celtics Part With Jaylen Brown
Massive Trade Idea Floated Has Celtics Part With Jaylen Brown originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After trading away multiple key players, the Boston Celtics are still looking for different ways to shed salary. Boston entered the offseason needing to cut salary off the books, and they have proceeded to make multiple moves. Advertisement But the team is still receiving calls about star forward Jaylen Brown. Boston has resisted trading Brown to this point, but if they were to get a godfather-type offer, the Celtics may want to consider moving him. Getting off his large salary could help set up the Celtics going forward. One trade idea has the Celtics move Brown to a rival in the Eastern Conference. NBA writer Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report named the Atlanta Hawks as a suitor for Brown if Boston moved him. "The Hawks have been linked to Brown, a Georgia native, for years now. While the development of their young core has perhaps dampened their enthusiasm for a win-right-now target like Brown, it's also possible that those young pieces now give Atlanta an asset collection strong enough to at least seriously consider the possibility. And since Brown is only two years older than Trae Young, it's not as if he's a totally poor timeline fit for this team," Buckley wrote.

Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Pairing Brown with Trae Young is an interesting duo, and could give Atlanta a real chance in the East. The Hawks also brought in former Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis, so Atlanta could build something special this offseason. It would take a lot to land Brown, but the Hawks seem to be making win-now moves. After another disappointing season, Atlanta's front office has been working hard this summer to put together a strong team. Boston could likely net some strong future assets in any deal for Borwb, but the Hawks do have some interesting players. Zaccharie Risacher, Onyeka Okongwu, Dyson Daniels, or Jalen Johnson could be included in a deal for both. Advertisement Everything would depend on what the Celtics wanted from the Hawks, but this could be an interesting pairing. Atlanta would be a strong landing spot for the Celtics' star, but for now, it seems he will stay in Boston.

Paul Pierce Assigns Blame for Recent Trades by the Boston Celtics
Paul Pierce Assigns Blame for Recent Trades by the Boston Celtics originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce doesn't shy away from making headlines with his hot takes, and there's a reason why he's known as "The Truth," even if he's only expressing his opinions. Advertisement On his "Podcast P," he broke down the state of the Celtics as the team has had a busy week retooling the roster with big trades and personnel moves. Last Monday, Boston traded Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Anfernee Simons. The following day, the Celtics agreed to trade Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks for Georges Niang. There have been rumors circulating about Jaylen Brown, a team leader who is coming off his third straight All-Star season, possibly being on the trading block. Boston will also allow Al Horford, Torrey Craig, Luke Kornet and Drew Peterson to enter free agency, which will open on July 6. Advertisement Pierce expressed his frustrations while conceding changes had to be made, given that the team won a championship a year ago, and is now moving on from key pieces of the franchise as the cost of doing business. "Man, you don't like it because you looked at a team that won (a championship) last year, like 'this team can be a dynasty," said Pierce. "Because they're all relatively young. They've already been through their growing pains. But you start to understand the business of it now because it's new ownership." Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (7) is said to be in the trade block and forward Jayson Tatum (0) is rehabbing for an Achilles Townson-Imagn Images Porzingis will be in the second year of a two-year, $60 million contract next season and will owe $30.7 million next year. He will turn 30 later this summer, and with a history of injuries, another contract extension likely wasn't viewed as the prudent move by the Celtics. Advertisement Like Porzingis, Holiday owed another large sum, $32.4 million, next season and still has another year left on his deal and a player option in 2027-28. "You know, when new ownership comes in, from what I've seen, from my time in the league all the way up until now, I knew right away it was going to be something. When I was in my second or third year, we had a new owner and they traded everybody." As Pierce said, in 2003, Boston Basketball Partners LLC purchased the team from Paul Gaston, and Danny Ainge was appointed as the team's general manager. The team would trade away several players, including long-time star Antoine Walker, Tony Delk, Tony Battie, Eric Williams and Mike James. In March, the Celtics were purchased by a group led by private equity executive Bill Chisholm for $6.1 billion. Advertisement "Listen, they just paid six billion for a team. You don't want a $500 million payroll. You are in the business of making money at the end of the day. Yeah, you want to win, but you want a cheaper version to try to win. I get it." According to Spotrac, the Celtics are more than $107 million over the cap for the 2025-26 season. Boston is estimated to have a $238 million tax bill, in addition to the team's roster expenses.

(AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) TORONTO (AP) — Austin Wells and Trent Grisham are back in the starting lineup for the New York Yankees in their series finale against Toronto on Thursday. Grisham was set to lead off and play center field, while Wells was behind the plate catching right-hander Clarke Schmidt and batting eighth. Advertisement Wells and Grisham came off the bench in Wednesday's 11-9 loss. The setback was New York's third straight and the Yankees slipped into a tie for first place in the AL East with Toronto. New York is 13-18 since May 28. 'We've gone through it a little bit here the last few weeks,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. 'Obviously haven't played our best. We need to do better, but I'm confident we will.' Wells hadn't started since Saturday, against the Athletics. Boone said Wells needed time to recover from an invasive test for a circulatory issue in his left index finger. Grisham left Monday's game after his cleat caught the turf, leading to tightness in his left hamstring. Advertisement 'He feels good about it, the training staff feels good about it,' Boone said. 'Is it 100 percent? Maybe not, but I feel good that he's good enough and sound enough to go.' Grisham is batting .248 with 15 homers and 32 RBIs in 73 games. He hit a career-high 17 homers with San Diego in 2022. 'He's been so important to us on both sides of the ball, just his center field play, his at-bat quality all year,' Boone said. 'He has hit for power, he has got on base. He has been a really good two-way player, an All-Star-caliber player for us in the first half. Big to be able to avoid (the injured list).' Boone said right-hander Luis Gil threw 35 pitches and did some fielding practice drills in a scheduled throwing session Thursday. The 2024 AL Rookie of the Year has not pitched for the Yankees this season because of a high-grade lat strain in his pitching shoulder. Also Thursday, the Los Angeles Dodgers claimed infielder CJ Alexander on waivers. The Yankees designated Alexander for assignment on June 30. ___ AP MLB:
