The Boston Red Sox recently signed a local player as an undrafted free agent. The team signed Attleboro native and UMass Dartmouth alum Nate Tellier to a three-year minor league contract, as Dartmouth Week reports.
Tellier stood out in the New England Collegiate Baseball League last summer when he pitched for the Martha's Vineyard Sharks. Although a Division 3 player in college, he faced mostly Division 1 competition in the league. He struck out 35 batters in 17.2 innings and posted a 3.57 ERA in 16 relief appearances. Tellier did not have a full baseball season at UMass Dartmouth this past spring due to the coronavirus outbreak.
President Donald Trump had a twofer in a recent tweet, taking a shot at U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III.
The president tweeted in response to an image of Pelosi being in a hair salon without a mask in San Francisco despite such businesses being forced to be closed by the local government. When criticizing her, Trump mentioned how she endorsed Kennedy in his U.S. Senate race against incumbent Democrat Ed Markey — and lost.
