  1. Center field: Ceddanne Rafaela, Red Sox

    Rafaela has won his first career Gold Glove Award after a stellar defensive showing in center field -- the only outfielder with more than his +21 OAA was the Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong. Rafaela’s +20 DRS ranked second among Major League outfielders only to Steven Kwan last season, and he had the best average jump in the game -- +5.3 feet vs. average.

    Right field: Wilyer Abreu, Red Sox

    Abreu joins Rafaela to make the Red Sox the first AL team with multiple outfielders winning a Gold Glove Award in the same year since the 2022 Guardians. Overall, it’s the fifth time in Red Sox history that multiple outfielders have been named Gold Glove winners -- also 2018 (Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts), 1978 and ’79 (Dwight Evans and Fred Lynn) and 1968 (Carl Yastrzemski and Reggie Smith).

    It’s the second Gold Glove Award for Abreu, who also won the honor in 2024. He finished the ’25 campaign tied for second in MLB lead among right fielders with +15 DRS (the Rangers' Adolis Garcia led with +16 DRS, while Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. also had +15 DRS) and he led AL right fielders with +8 OAA.

  3. At least 700 dead in Tanzania's post-election protests, opposition says

    Africa

    Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed in Tanzania after taking to the streets to protest this week’s presidential election, which saw the increasingly authoritarian incumbent, President Samia Suluhu Hassan, run unopposed for another term after her main challengers were jailed or barred from standing.
