Why one Red Sox free agent target is now living in Boston, throwing at BC this winter

One Red Sox free agent target is getting a long look at the city of Boston this winter.
Free agent lefty Jordan Montgomery is spending the winter in Boston, calling the city his offseason home while his wife, McKenzie, begins her dermatology residency at an area hospital. Montgomery has been working out and throwing at Boston College in recent weeks, according to multiple sources.
Montgomery’s move to Boston — at least for now — is not directly related to his free agent process and was necessitated by his wife’s career. But it’s notable that the South Carolina native is getting a chance to see what life is like in the city. The Red Sox are one of many teams interested in signing the lefty, according to a source, and met with his representatives at the GM meetings in Arizona earlier this month.
Geography might not be the main factor Montgomery considers as he makes his free agent decision, as players almost always take the highest offer on the table. But the fact Montgomery is living locally can’t hurt the Red Sox, either. First, he’s getting a feel for the city that the club will try to lure him to. Logistically, it would be easy for the Red Sox to get him to Fenway Park for an in-person recruiting meeting. And if Montgomery’s wife’s residency requires her to live in Boston for multiple years, it would seem logical that could potentially be a factor in Montgomery’s decision-making.
Montgomery, who turns 31 on Dec. 27, is one of the top free agents available this winter after posting a 3.20 ERA and 3.56 FIP in 188 ⅔ innings between the Cardinals and Rangers. He pitched especially well after being shipped to Texas in a midseason trade, posting a 2.79 ERA in 11 starts for the eventual World Series champions. In the postseason, the southpaw pitched to a 2.90 ERA in 31 innings.
With Aaron Nola (Phillies) and Sonny Gray (Cardinals) already off the board, Montgomery is one of the top remaining free agent starters available along with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Eduardo Rodriguez, Marcus Stroman, Shota Imanaga and Lucas Giolito. Because he was traded midseason, Montgomery was not eligible to receive a qualifying offer from Texas and therefore won’t require draft pick compensation to sign.

Be on the lookout for a bull roaming the streets of Boston – Caught In Dot

When it comes to wildlife, Boston has it all! Mean turkeys, swimming coyotes, bald eagles, bunnies, chickens, and now a bull. Yes, a bull. Earlier this week, a bull escaped from a home in Roslindale and is on the loose. Evidently, the resident had no idea that you’re not allowed to keep farm animals, other than chickens, in the city limits. Hmmmm, we can’t imagine why. Maybe for exactly this reason, now there’s a bull roaming the streets of the city.
According to Axios Boston, he was spotted near Stella and Harding Road on Saturday but “was able to evade capture” and slipped off into the woods. Boston Animal Care and Control even tried using a thermal drone but had no luck finding the bull.
With this bull on the loose, there’s a real possibility that it could wander into any neighborhood at any time. The question is, where might the elusive bull will turn up next? Wrong guesses only in the comments? We’ll start – having a frozen margarita at Yellow Door.
Has anyone checked any of the neighborhood china shops?
And for the love of God, if you see the bull don’t try and wrangle it!

First oyster farm on Boston’s South Shore now selling to chefs around the country

DUXBURY — An oyster farm south of Boston is shipping their harvest around the country.
Island Creek Oysters of Duxbury was the first oyster farm on the South Shore.
“We spawn oysters, so people get blown away by that process. We’re creating oysters here,” boat captain Dave May told WBZ-TV.
Growing oysters
“They’re grown on the bottom in the mud and so they have an earthier taste to them,” May said. “There’s really cold, nutrient-rich water out there and when the water here goes out, six hours later it comes back in, it’s new water. And so the oysters are never really sitting in the same water for more than a day.”
Different oyster varieties are grown at three separate farms in Duxbury, but the originals are the Island Creek.
The popular “Row 34” oysters are grown six inches off the bay’s floor in the Aunt Dotty in a farm a little further away.
“They get the first taste of the cold Atlantic water as it rushes on the tide cycle,” May said. “They’re a little brinier, little sweeter.”
The oyster-growing process begins in the hatchery. First they start in a lab, then they’re fed algae before they’re moved to Duxbury Bay to finish growing in cages.
National oyster business
But the oysters aren’t just popular locally. They’re sold to businesses as far away as Napa, California.
Island Creek’s CEO Chris Sherman said that they “distribute now to 700-800 chefs around the country.”
From Island Creek’s raw bar, restaurants, tours and shucking lessons, the farm has established a name for itself locals have trusted for almost 30 years. They run tours from May to September.
“Coastal communities is really at the heart of what we do,” Sherman told WBZ. “It’s our mission as an organization to grow thriving coastal communities.”

Creighton's Baylor Scheierman selected 30th overall by Boston Celtics in NBA Draft

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – Creighton’s Baylor Scheierman was selected 30th overall by the Boston Celtics in Wednesday’s NBA Draft.
The Aurora, Nebraska native celebrated with over 100 friends, family and teammates gathered at Let It Fly Sports Bar in downtown Omaha.
Scheierman averaged 18.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists for a Bluejays team that reached the Sweet 16 in his fifth season of college basketball. He also became the first player in NCAA Division I history to score 2,000 points, and tally 1,000 rebounds, 500 assists and 300 three pointers in a career.
As impressive as Scheierman was in his Bluejays career, his draft stock took off after his performance at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. The 23-year-old turned heads with not only his shooting ability, but his passing skills and defensive flashes, prompting ESPN’s Jonathan Givony to declare him ‘the best player on the floor’ in his first combine scrimmage.
