The Red Sox Have Been Dominated Ever Since Their Trip to the White House — Plus a Few More Observations When the Boston Red Sox visited the White House earlier this season to celebrate their past achievements, spirits were high and optimism was in the air. But ever since that celebratory trip to Washington, the team has struggled mightily on the field. What was supposed to be a feel-good moment for the organization seems to have marked the beginning of a concerning downward spiral. Since that visit, the Red Sox have posted one of the worst records in the American League. Their pitching staff, which had been a surprising strength early in the year, has faltered. Starters are failing to go deep into games, and the bullpen has repeatedly let leads slip away. Lucas Giolito, once a steadying presence, has seen his ERA climb, and the once-reliable back-end duo of Kenley Jansen and Chris Martin has been anything but automatic. Offensively, the Red Sox have hit a wall. Key contributors like Rafael Devers and Masataka Yoshida have cooled off significantly, and the team is struggling to drive in runs with runners in scoring position. What was once a promising lineup filled with power and potential now appears inconsistent and uninspired. Injuries have also played a role. Trevor Story remains sidelined, and others have been in and out of the lineup, robbing the team of continuity. The lack of depth has been exposed, and younger players thrust into starting roles haven’t been able to carry the load. Manager Alex Cora has been visibly frustrated, and fans are beginning to lose patience. The momentum from their solid start to the season has completely evaporated. What’s more troubling is that the team doesn’t seem to have an immediate solution to halt the slide. Yet, amid the downturn, there are still a few bright spots. Rookie outfielder Roman Anthony continues to show flashes of brilliance, and Jarren Duran remains a spark plug at the top of the order. Additionally, Craig Breslow’s front office has stayed composed, resisting knee-jerk reactions in favor of long-term planning. Still, the reality is this: the Red Sox have looked overmatched and disorganized ever since their White House visit. If they want to salvage their season, something needs to change fast—before the hole becomes too deep to climb out of.

BREAKING NEWS: Former Louisiana Tech Guard Amaree Abram Set to visit Tennessee; Possible Contract Deal to be Sealed in Few Hours

Tennessee Basketball Eyes Amaree Abram as Key Shooting Guard Addition

Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Volunteers have been busy retooling their roster this offseason, but one puzzle remains unsolved — the starting shooting guard spot. With the departures of Chaz Lanier, Jahmai Mashack, and Jordan Gainey, Tennessee is still searching for a reliable backcourt scoring threat to round out a promising 2025-26 lineup.

That search may be narrowing with the visit of former Louisiana Tech guard Amaree Abram. As reported by Knoxville News Sentinel’s Mike Wilson, Abram is on campus today (Monday) to meet with the coaching staff and explore his potential role with the program. He brings a blend of experience, versatility, and perimeter shooting that aligns perfectly with what Tennessee needs.

Abram, a 6-foot-4 guard, had a breakout season at Louisiana Tech, starting all 32 games and averaging 12.3 points per game. He connected on 66 three-pointers while shooting 37.3% from beyond the arc — a stat that immediately makes him a valuable commodity for a Vols team that struggled with consistent perimeter shooting last season.

Originally a four-star recruit in the class of 2022, Abram began his career at Ole Miss, where he showed flashes of his scoring potential. He was ranked as the No. 64 overall player in his class and the 11th-best point guard nationally. After a brief and limited stint at Georgia Tech, Abram found his footing at Louisiana Tech, showcasing his ability to create offense and defend multiple positions.

For Barnes, the fit is clear. The Vols have already secured Maryland point guard transfer Ja’Kobi Gillespie, who is expected to run the offense. In the frontcourt, Vanderbilt transfer Jaylen Carey brings depth, while incoming five-star recruit Nate Ament adds NBA-caliber talent to the wing and forward spots. However, consistent three-point shooting remains a glaring hole — and Abram could be the answer.

With three scholarships still open, Tennessee is expected to add at least two more guards. If Abram’s visit goes well, he could be the first of those additions, bringing scoring, experience, and a much-needed shooting presence to a Tennessee team aiming for another deep NCAA Tournament run.

Barnes has done plenty of evaluating this offseason — now he might be on the verge of locking in the final piece. Could Amaree Abram be the one to finally solve the Vols’ shooting guard riddle?
