Morning Sports Update: Patriots could lose long snapper Joe Cardona to Navy for season
Good morning, sports fans.
The Navy might hold on to Patriots long snapper Joe Cardona for a season, the first-place Red Sox win another series, Big Papi’s gifts keep coming and there apparently won’t be a reunion of Celtics legends in Indiana.
Patriots long snapper Joe Cardona could miss season for Navy commitment: “We’ve got Joe Cardona, long snapper for the Patriots. He played last year for the Patriots while he was on active duty because he was able to work them both out. He’s been assigned to a ship and he’s going to report to that ship, so he may have to leave the Patriots for the year to go fulfill that role.” [BostonGlobe.com]
Surging Red Sox overpower first-place White Sox, 7-3: Dustin Pedroia, Hanley Ramirez and Jackie Bradley Jr. homered to lead Boston to a 7-3 victory over Chicago on Thursday night. The AL East-leading Red Sox won for the ninth time in 11 games and took this series against the first-place team in the Central. [Boston.com]
White Sox give Big Papi a farewell gift: On behalf of the White Sox, ace Chris Sale presented Big Papi with a cigar humidor made out of wood by former Major League outfielder Ron Kittle. The humidor came stocked with half of the cigars bearing Red Sox logos and the other half with White Sox logos. [MLB.com]

Larry Bird is not hiring Kevin McHale to coach the Pacers: “I would not do that to Kevin, have him work for me. I respect him too much. I would love for him to be the coach, but it ain’t going to happen because I respect him too much.” [Boston.com]
