Red Sox unveil new 'Green Monster'-inspired City Connect jerseys, with help from Kermit the Frog
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 comes from 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.
Hours after unveiling them on social media, the Red Sox will debut the Fenway Greens against the Atlanta Braves on Friday, where Boston will kick off a three-game series at home as part of MLB's inaugural rivalry weekend.

Alex Cora Makes Major Announcement About Red Sox Future
Alex Cora Makes Major Announcement About Red Sox Future originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Long before he managed the Boston Red Sox, Alex Cora spent nearly four years watching Terry Francona's greatness up close. Advertisement Francona managed Cora in Boston from 2005-08, with the duo reaching the American League Championship Series twice and winning the 2007 World Series in that span. Nearly two decades later, the 66-year-old Francona is still going and trying to manage the Cincinnati Reds to their first pennant in 35 years. Cora is in his seventh year as a manager, and he's got plenty of time to catch Francona's 24 seasons—not that Cora intends to manage that long. "Somebody asked me today about that," Cora told reporters before Monday's 13-6 victory over Francona's Reds. "You think you'll do it [for] 28 years? Nah. ... It's a lot, especially now it's different." Cora referenced the "coverage of teams" and said managers cannot "detach" themselves when needed. Advertisement Boston Red Sox manager Alex CoraMitch Stringer-Imagn Images "That's the hard part, especially in markets like this," Cora explained. "It's relentless. That's the reality of it. "And I'm not complaining about it because I love my job," Cora continued. "I love where I work. I love the city that I work in. I have a blast doing it. But to do it 28 years, it's hard. It's very hard." Although Cora is 563-495 as the Red Sox's manager, he hasn't posted a winning season since 2021. Boston is 42-44 and three games out of the AL's Wild Card race. So long as he has an opportunity to manage the Red Sox, it sounds like Cora is staying exactly where he is. We'll see what happens if Boston opts to make a change in the coming months—and very few managers survive missing the playoffs five times in six years.

MLB Insider Makes Major Aroldis Chapman Prediction Before Trade Deadline
MLB Insider Makes Major Aroldis Chapman Prediction Before Trade Deadline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If MLB insider Ken Rosenthal is correct, then Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman is headed to Atlanta. Advertisement No, the Red Sox aren't trading Chapman to the Braves—at least, not to our knowledge. Instead, Rosenthal predicted that Chapman would make his eighth All-Star Game and first since 2021. Rosenthal listed Chapman and starting pitcher Garrett Crochet as Boston's two representatives. Every team must have at least one player named to the All-Star Game. Chapman is quietly having his best season in years, posting a 1.32 ERA and 14 saves for the fourth-place Red Sox. The veteran closer owns 14 saves and a 50-10 K-BB ratio in 34 innings, and he's on pace for his first sub-2 ERA campaign since 2016. Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis ChapmanJay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images The 37-year-old Chapman hasn't had an ERA under 3.00 since 2019, and he's already matched last season's 14 saves. Advertisement Chapman hasn't allowed an earned run since May 27, and he's recorded a fantastic 22-2 K-BB ratio in his last 13 innings. Although the 42-44 Red Sox haven't officially waved the white flag yet, Chapman is expected to be among the more high-profile relievers available this deadline. He's only on a one-year, $10.75 million contract, and his 2.6 walks per nine is easily a career-best. Don't be surprised to see teams like the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros pursue Chapman, who also owns a 2.37 ERA and 68-21 K-BB ratio in 49 1/3 career postseason innings.

Bruins Reportedly Exploring Trade Market for $19 Million Forward
Bruins Reportedly Exploring Trade Market for $19 Million Forward originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha's future in Beantown is once again uncertain, after he was linked to a move earlier in the offseason. Advertisement According to The Fourth Period, which listed Zacha as the 17th most-valuable player reportedly available for trade, the Bruins have resumed trade discussions involving the forward. 'The Bruins explored the trade market on Zacha during the season and there is belief out there that Boston is looking, again, at moving him,' TFP reported. 'His 10-team no-trade list turns to an eight-team list July 1, so he does have some say in where he ends up, if dealt. He has two years remaining on his contract.' Zacha, 28, is under contract for two more seasons as part of his four-year, $19 million contract. He's signed through the 2026–27 season at a $4.75 million cap hit. Advertisement The veteran winger, who can operate as a center, is one of Boston's more valuable forward assets and a member of the Bruins' second forward line. It's fair to assume that trading for him would likely require a meaningful return. The Bruins have been busy adding players this offseason, and with their roster shifting under new head coach Marco Sturm, Zacha's place is no longer guaranteed. Boston Bruins center Pavel Zacha (18) looks for the puck against the Buffalo T. Ludwig-Imagn Images TFP linked the Vancouver Canucks and the Utah Mammoth as teams with interest in the Bruins forward. 'Zacha could provide (Vancouver) with an upgrade at the second-line center spot over Filip Chytil,' The Hockey News' Michael DeRosa noted in an article discussing possible Zacha fits. Advertisement Utah has already acquired JJ Peterka and Nate Schmidt in the offseason, but could be in the market for another middle-six center.
