WWW.FOXNEWS.COMRed Sox manager Alex Cora claims ESPN 'made s--- up' about MLB trade rumors during his time at networkWith less than one week left before the MLB trade deadline passes, teams are revving up the phones, while players await their fates for the remainder of the 2025 season and beyond.Players will tell you they try to keep the outside noise just that outside. But it's hard not to see it coming up on social media feeds, sports talk shows, and more avenues of acquiring news.However, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora doesn't want his players to believe everything they hear and read. He singled out one outlet in particular the one he used to work for.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I can tell them stories about ESPN in the green room, how people made s--- up you know, trades," Cora said to reporters on Sunday. "And I can tell them that dont believe everything that is said, you know?"Cora is aware the trade deadline rumors are what fans want to see, as teams try to make their squads better or look ahead to the future by dealing away top talent for future assets.MLB TRADE DEADLINE ACTION GETS UNDERWAY AS MARINERS ACQUIRE FIRST BASEMAN JOSH NAYLOR FROM DIAMONDBACKS"You get into any social platform, and if youre looking for baseball, then your feed is going to be full of baseball stories, right?" Cora continued. "And theres a lot of people that are very responsible with their trades, rumors and their contacts. Others, theyre not. So just block it."A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that ESPN stands by its reporting, though it wasn't clear what Cora, who departed the company nearly 10 years ago to join the Houston Astros' coaching staff, was referring to."I got stories, man. I dont wanna bury people," Cora said when a reporter asked who at ESPN he was referring to.Cora understands how tough the trade deadline can be from a player perspective considering his 14 seasons as one in MLB.The Red Sox are one of those teams with a rabid fan base always watching to see what they're going to do this time of year. It's also worth noting that one of the top trade names going around is Jarren Duran, the team's All-Star outfielder who could be on the move before 6 p.m. on Thursday.Boston, though, currently sits in a good playoff position out of a tough AL East division at 57-50. They own the second Wild Card slot in the American League, just behind their division-rival New York Yankees.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.0 Comments 0 Shares 44 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMBlack Sabbath bassist remembers 'frail' Ozzy Osbourne in heartbreaking account of rock legend's final showOzzy Osbourne reunited with Black Sabbath for a final performance weeks before his death, a show that would mark the last time bassist Terence "Geezer" Butler would see his longtime friend.Butler reminisced about his time with Osbourne nearly six decades after the band formed in 1968 and the significance of their last show together near their hometowns. The Prince of Darkness died on Tuesday, July 22, after battling a number of health issues over the years. He was 76.KELLY OSBOURNE POSTS TREASURED MOMENT WITH LATE FATHER OZZY OSBOURNEThe bassist noted that Ozzy was a "born entertainer" who would "do anything for a laugh." He coined his friend the "Prince of Laughter."Prior to the July 5 concert, Butler admitted he was aware the lead singer had health issues, but admitted he was shocked to see how "frail" Ozzy had become in his final days."I knew he wasnt in good health, but I wasnt prepared to see how frail he was," Butler wrote in an essay published in The Sunday Times.OZZY OSBOURNE'S MESSAGE TO FANS CAPS DECADES-LONG LEGACY: 'THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART'"He was helped into the rehearsal room by two helpers and a nurse and was using a cane being Ozzy, the cane was black and studded with gold and precious stones."Butler continued, "He didnt really say much beyond the usual greetings and when he sang, he sat in a chair. We ran through the songs but we could see it was exhausting him after six or seven songs. We had a bit of a chat, but he was really quiet compared with the Ozzy of old. After a couple more weeks we were ready for the show."The 10-hour show was hosted by Jason Momoa and featured performances from Metallica, Guns N Roses, Jack Black, Steven Tyler and others.At one point during the show, which was livestreamed in the U.K., legendary drummers, including Tools Danny Carey, Red Hot Chili Peppers Chad Smith and Blink-182s Travis Barker, battled with their drumsticks while playing a cover of Sabbaths "Symptom of the Universe."For the closing set, the legendary rock star was lifted to the stage while sitting on a black throne accompanied by skulls and topped with a black bat. He sang hits like "Crazy Train" and "Mama Im Coming Home" while remaining seated during the entire set.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"You have no idea how I feel," Osbourne told the crowd. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."Butler remembered the "strangest part of the show was the end.""Normally, we would all hug each other and take a bow to the audience," Butler wrote. "But Ozzy was on his throne and we hadnt thought that out. What do we do? Tony shook his hand, I presented him with a cake, but it was such a strange feeling to end our story like that."I wish Id had more time backstage with Ozzy, but wishes are redundant now. As Ozzy used to say: 'Wish in one hand and s--t in the other and see which comes first.'"WATCH FOX NATION'S SHARON OSBOURNE: TO HELL AND BACKButler added, "Nobody knew hed be gone from us little more than two weeks after the final show. But I am so grateful we got to play one last time together in front of his beloved fans. The love from the fans and all the bands, musicians, singers and solo artists that night was incredible.WATCH: Ozzy Osbourne during his final performance with Black Sabbath"Everyone had come to pay homage to the Prince. I am so privileged to have spent most of my life with him. Of course, there are millions of things I will think of that I should have written, but how can I sum up 57 incredible years of friendship in a few paragraphs? God bless, Oz, it has been one hell of a ride! Love you!"Born in Aston, West Midlands, U.K., Ozzy was drawn to the theater as a child, but he ultimately turned to music after listening to one particular song from The Beatles.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

I used to fantasize that Paul McCartney would marry my sister."After leaving school as a teenager, Osbourne spent six weeks in prison after being convicted of robbing a clothing store. It was in 1967 he was recruited by Butler to be a vocalist in a band that would become Black Sabbath.Years before his death, Osbourne reflected on the lasting legacy he wished to leave on the world as his Parkinson's disease progressed."Survival is my legacy," he told People magazine. "I mean, I'm 73. People go, Well, you're 70 why don't I throw the towel in? Why should I? People still want to buy my records. People still want to see me, so why should I? It motivates me to get off my backside and do something. I mean, if my career had gone down the toilet and I knew it was the end, I'd be pretty miserable."Osbourne is survived by wife Sharon, daughters Kelly and Aimee, and son Jack, in addition to daughter Jessica, and sons Elliot and Louis from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.0 Comments 0 Shares 43 Views 0 Reviews
