Reds and Red Sox suspended because of rain, will finish as part of day-night doubleheader Wednesday
BOSTON (AP) — The middle game of the three-game series between the Cincinnati Reds and Boston was suspended because of rain with the Red Sox leading 2-1 heading into the fourth inning Tuesday night and will resume as part of a day-night doubleheader.
The postponed game will resume at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, and the series finale is set for 7:10 p.m.
Play was stopped after lightning was seen in the area, causing umpires to clear the field. Rain started shortly after, and the suspended was announced after 1 hour, 20 minutes.
Jarren Duran led off the first with a double off Brady Singer and scored on Roman Anthony's double that put Boston in front. Carlos Narvaez added a one-out RBI single.
Cincinnati opened the third inning with back-to-back singles by Will Benson and Christian Encarnacion-Strand off Richard Fitts, and Matt McClain hit an RBI groundout. Up Next
Cincinnati RHP Nick Martinez (5-8, 4.12 ERA) is set to start the scheduled game Wednesday, his first start since losing a no-hit bid in the ninth inning last week against San Diego. RHP Brayan Bello (3-3, 3.41) is slated to start for the Red Sox.

Red Sox Anticipated to Trade Alex Bregman If 'Two Sides Can't Work Out Deal'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Boston Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million deal in the offseason. However, his deal allows him to opt out after the season. Bregman was slashing .299/.385/.553 through 51 games before a quad injury sidelined him, making it evident that he could be an All-Star-level player again. Bregman is likely to opt out for a better deal after proving himself. However, he and his agent Scott Boras have both said they are open to discussing an extension with the Red Sox. The Red Sox reportedly saved over $250 million by trading Rafael Devers, so they can afford to give Bregman a new deal. But The Athletic's Jim Bowden polled 40-plus MLB executives, and some believe Bregman could be traded if a deal is not reached this month. FORT MYERS, FLORIDA - MARCH 5: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox reacts in the dugout before a Grapefruit League game against the Tampa Bay Rays at JetBlue Park at Fenway South in... FORT MYERS, FLORIDA - MARCH 5: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox reacts in the dugout before a Grapefruit League game against the Tampa Bay Rays at JetBlue Park at Fenway South in Fort Myers, Florida on March 5, 2025. More Maddie Malhotra/Boston"This was another shocking name to me, but some execs believe the Red Sox could move on from Bregman at the trade deadline if they can't extend him by then," wrote Bowden. "Bregman and his agent, Scott Boras, have told the Red Sox they are open to signing a long-term extension now. But if the two sides can't work out a deal, don't be surprised if Boston trades him to either the Tigers or Mariners at the trade deadline." The Red Sox could fall out of contention before the trade deadline. If they start negotiations with Bregman and realize that the two sides are far enough apart that a deal in free agency is also unlikely, it would make sense for them to trade him to a contender for a solid return. Bregman has noted how much he has enjoyed playing in Boston, but at the same time, he has established his value again. If the Red Sox do not want to pay him accordingly, another team will.

Texas Longhorn Arch Manning praises Bengals QB Joe Burrow
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow paved the way for the next generation of quarterbacks. Next up? Arch Manning. The nephew of Eli and Peyton Manning heading into his first season as the Texas Longhorns starting quarterback recently spoke about Burrow and others at the Manning Passing Academy. Advertisement "I'm watching a lot of Josh Allen and Joe Burrow right now. Those are my guys," Manning said. I'm watching some of their college film right now. Just good players, elite competitors, and fun to watch." Manning is hardly the first to tip the hat Burrow's direction. It wasn't that long ago that an Ohio State quarterback by the name of C.J. Stroud did the same. Also not shocking is Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen being one of the other guys getting a nod from Manning. And while it's easy to focus on Burrow's pro accomplishments, it wasn't all that long ago that he authored one of the greatest college seasons by a quarterback ever at LSU before going first overall.

Photo by Adam Glanzman/Bolt Creative Group After recently hiring their first head coach, Boston Legacy FC has made moves in signing their first ever player, midfielder Annie Karich. Karich is currently on loan to a Liga MX Femenil club for the remainder of 2025 and will join Boston for NWSL preseason in January. The American midfielder signed a contract through the end of the 2027 season, with an option to renew for the 2028 NWSL season. 'We're very excited to welcome Annie Karich to Boston,' said general manager Domè Guasch. 'Annie is a midfielder that brings a unique blend of technical quality and tactical awareness. In her time at SC Freiburg, she has also proved her competitiveness and maturity on the field. Annie has the potential to make a real impact in our team. We're looking forward to supporting her development within our environment.' Karich's Player Impact Karich signed her first professional contract in 2023 with Frauen-Bundesliga club SC Freiburg as a free agent. She played as a defensive midfielder for two seasons and made 36 appearances. During her time at Santa Clara, Karich was named the West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2023 and was named to the First Team All-WCC and First Team All-West Region. 'I want to grow by developing my overall game as a player and by learning how to adapt again into a new city, new team, and everything, and I'm really excited to do that here in Boston,' said Karich. Free Agency Opens New Doors for Boston Legacy's Growth As the 15th franchise in the NWSL, the expansion side is building a key foundation as they are set to begin play in the 2026 NWSL season. The club announced the hiring of Filipa Patão as their first head coach. Now with the first piece of their roster set in motion, the club will continue to grow their momentum both on and off the field in their new chapter of reigniting soccer back to the city of Boston. With the Portuguese powerhouse of Patão at the helm, the club will continue building out its 22-player roster with an option of having a maximum of seven international roster spots. Alongside Boston, Denver is also building out their squad. During the one-month international break, the NWSL has announced a list of players eligible for the league's 2026 free agency period with over 100 players on the list. With the free agency window officially being open, teams are able to negotiate contract terms with any free agent. However, if a player does not receive a new offer, they then remain a free agent with their rights unassigned in the NWSL. Now with free agency on the table, both Boston and Denver now have access to more options for negotiations with free agents in the NWSL. The full list of free agents can be found here.
