Mike Antonellis is waiting to start his new job as a play-by-play announcer for the Pawtucket Red Sox after 15 years in Portland.

The Portland Sea Dogs are safe, but others cities could see their pro baseball teams eliminated.

The first baseman is a friend of cardiologist Paul Weldner, whose family hosted Rizzo when Rizzo was a member of the Portland Sea Dogs in 2010.

After an extensive vetting process, Emma Tiedemann brings her talent and experience to the Hadlock Field radio booth.

The G League (Red Claws) and ECHL (Mariners) have suspended their seasons, while the start of the Sea Dogs’ baseball season will be delayed.

Lance Carter, a former All-Star with Tampa Bay, will be Portland’s new pitching coach.

Michael Chavis and Joe Oliver are among those who weigh in on the dismissal of Red Sox manager Alex Cora.

Next season’s schedule features just seven home games in April, the fewest since the Sea Dogs’ inaugural season in 1994.

There were highlights – a no-hitter, a three-homer game, players called up – but Portland finished with the third-worst record in the Eastern League.

Daniel McGrath is promoted, so instead of a pitching duel, New Hampshire dominates with Yennsy Diaz’s near no-hitter.
