New England Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski admitted that he was considering retirement following the team's Super Bowl 52 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.It's been nearly two months Adam Shaheen Jersey , and Gronk has yet to make an announcement. But according to ESPN's Jeff Darlington, the two-time Super Bowl champion is expected to return next season, citing sources close to Gronkowski.Darlington did note that Gronk hasn't made a final call yet, but he wants to come back so long as Tom Brady remains part of the team. But even if No. 87 continues his football career, there's a chance it happens outside of Foxborough.Per Darlington, there is some strain in the relationship of Gronkowski and Belichick, who apparently didn't care for some of his cryptic social media posts. This included Gronk bidding farewell to former teammate Danny Amendola, who signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins. In the post, Gronk wrote "Be FREE, Be HAPPY."Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston also reported after the Super Bowl that Gronk wasn't happy during training camp last year, feeling "persecuted Julien Davenport Jersey ," and "singled out," and even contemplated retirement. So even if Gronkowski returns to the Patriots, it looks like there is plenty of tension to clear up with the legendary head coach. With Malcolm Butler leaving the team under bitter circumstances and Belichick reportedly being caught in a power struggle with Brady and Robert Kraft (according to a report from ESPN's Seth Wickersrham in January), it seems like the heat is really on in New England.Despite the reported drama, the Patriots dynasty nearly won a sixth Lombardi Trophy to their impressive collection. But first, it remains to be seen if Gronkowski will return - and if the Patriots will be able to put all of this tension behind them as they try to win a third consecutive AFC Championship.
BOSTON — The last time the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels met, both teams were hot and the three-game series in Anaheim was to provide some sort of early excitement to the long and winding baseball season.

The Red Sox, who came in 13-2 against the 13-3 Angels, not only won all three games but did it by a combined count of 27-3.

“Give those guys credit. They had a great series,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said after the finale, and after the Red Sox beat up on Shohei Ohtani.

David Price Billy Price Jersey , who won the opener of that series, faces the Angels and emergency starter John Lamb on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series at Fenway Park.

With six starting pitchers on the disabled list, the Angels were able to get Ricky Skaggs back after the right-hander missed a game with a tight hamstring, but he had to pitch Monday’s makeup game at Kansas City. That left Lamb, a left-hander with a 2-12 lifetime record and 6.12 ERA, to make his second start in the opener of the series against Boston.

Missing Skaggs meant the Red Sox were able to avoid a pitcher who had won three straight starts with an 0.45 ERA (he lost 2-0 on Monday). Now, losers of 10 of its last 14, Boston gets Lamb, who allowed three runs in 3 1/3 innings replacing Skaggs last week.

The Red Sox are coming off a series win over the Seattle Mariners, finishing off a 4-3 two-weekend win over the AL West contenders. They rode a 13-strikeout effort from Chris Sale to a win in the rubber game Sunday.

“I’m glad that he’s on my team and I don’t have to face him,” Boston’s Mitch Moreland said of Sale (7-4). “He’s filthy and showed it again today.”

The matchup at Fenway renews the “best player in baseball” talk Dak Prescott Jersey , with Red Sox fans pushing Mookie Betts over Mike Trout.

While Betts spent time on the disabled list with an abdominal strain and missed a weekend game with illness, Trout has DHd the last six games because of a sprained right index finger.

“After a week, he was going to throw and evaluate it,” Scioscia said Monday. “We’re kind of there now. We’ll see. He’s not going to play center field (Tuesday). It’s how he progresses when he starts to throw.”

Amazingly, Trout is a .371 hitter in 16 lifetime games at Fenway, but he has never hit a home run in the old ballpark. He has driven in 11 runs and stolen six bases.

Price had a six-game (seven-start) winning streak snapped his last time out, at Minnesota, but allowed just three runs in six innings and could have won with some support.

Price is just 6-7 with a 3.45 ERA lifetime against the Angels.

The current LA roster doesn’t have much to brag about against the lefty. Albert Pujols is 10-for-31 (.323) with two homers and five RBIs, but Chris Young is 1-for-14 (.072), Luis Valbuena 1-for-8 (.125), Ian Kinsler 5-for-29 (.172) with a homer Ibraheim Campbell Jersey , and Trout 4-for-23 (.174) with 11 strikeouts.

Lamb, with the Cincinnati Reds the past two seasons, has never faced the Red Sox.

The Monday makeup allowed the Angels and Royals to celebrate the postponed April 15 Jackie Robinson Day, so all players on both teams wore No. 42 Monday.

“We’re all obviously very proud to do it,” Scioscia said before the game. “I think it’s cool. We missed it (on April 15) and the guys had been looking forward to it. They were like, ‘Oh, man.’ It’s kind of nice because we’re the only two teams doing it today. We’re happy about that, for sure.”
