There’s a new gang dealing hard drugs and weapons in Greater Boston, the “Asian Boyz.” The feds just arrested nine alleged members.“Ride around with that 9 milli’ and I’m strapped through with that four-five,” Sary “Baby Gangsta” Rath raps in the “Blue Money” music video with more alleged members of the ABZ crew as they flash symbols and boast about their alleged criminal activity, including shootings and drug dealing. “I ain’t talk about IG but my killers they going to go live. / If we looking for the enemies, I can bet one hundred that they gon’ hide.”Rath, 37, formerly of Lowell, who the feds say usually shortens “Baby Gangsta” down to just “BG,” was arrested Thursday and is currently being held in state custody on charges of one count of distribution of and possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine and one count of distribution of and possession with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl.But Rath — the purported gang leader — didn’t d...2 catchers, 3 pitchers and a veteran OF: A closer look at the players the Chicago White Sox acquired in 3 trades this week

Two catchers, three pitchers and a veteran coming back to where his career began.That was the return for the Chicago White Sox after dealing five pitchers in three trades since Wednesday.The Sox find themselves in the selling mode after not being able to dig out of a dismal 7-21 start to the season. They entered Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians 21 games under .500 at 42-63.“For us to be in this position, we didn’t meet expectations,” manager Pedro Grifol said Friday.The moves began late Wednesday with the Sox trading starter Lucas Giolito and reliever Reynaldo Lopez to the Los Angeles Angels.The Sox made two trades Friday, sending starter Lance Lynn and reliever Joe Kelly to the Los Angeles Dodgers and reliever Kendall Graveman to the Houston Astros.All the players the Sox acquired were at Double A or higher.“Near-readiness has a great deal of appeal when evaluating the value of a trade,” general manager Rick Hahn said Friday. ̶...Americans face ‘full-on’ attack on freedoms, liberties, VP Harris says in Boston

The United States is facing a “full-on attempt to attack” freedoms and liberties for Black Americans and other groups, Vice President Kamala Harris said Saturday as she addressed hundreds of people in Boston.From recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings to state laws curbing voting or transgender rights, Harris and other speakers at the opening session of the NAACP’s 114th National Convention painted a grim picture of the country ahead of the 2024 presidential election.“We are in a moment where there is a full-on attempt to attack hard-fought and hard-won rights and freedoms and liberty,” Harris said. “We know every day we must be vigilant in protecting that which we have achieved and keeping our eyes on our vision, our collective vision of how we continue to strengthen our nation.”Harris spoke at the convention in a moderated discussion with Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell.

KANSAS CITY — It was obvious a roster crunch was coming earlier this week with both Byron Buxton and Jorge Polanco needing to be activated, and rookie outfielder Matt Wallner was well aware of it.“I feel like I’ve kind of done my part, but it’s ultimately not my decision,” he said Wednesday. “I’m just trying to do what I can do, and I feel like I’ve done a good job of that, honestly.”He’s right — he had.Wallner, who hit a pair of home runs on Wednesday, had done his part to make the Twins’ decision as hard as possible, and when the dust cleared, he was in Kansas City, still on the roster.To make room for Buxton, the Twins optioned Trevor Larnach, whom Wallner appears to have jumped on the Twins’ depth chart. To welcome Polanco back on the roster, the Twins made a surprise move, optioning a pitcher — Cole Sands — and deciding to keep 14 position players for the time being.The Twins prefer to keep 13 pitchers — the maximum allowed by rule — on the roster, but are carrying an ext...PHOTOS: Tree damage abundant from Saturday's St. Louis-area storms
