Red Sox trade Rafael Devers to the Giants for RHP Jordan Hicks, LHP Kyle Harrison and others.

Red Sox deal All-Star Devers to Giants in stunner

The Giants are sending Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison, outfield prospect James Tibbs III and pitching prospect Jose Bello to the Red Sox for Rafael Devers.

I wonder how much money the Red Sox are eating to get this deal done?

I'm stunned. Posey has Cajones.

 

[BillJ]

Looks like the Giants are taking on all of Devers' remaining money.

Rafael Devers trade serves as further proof that Buster Posey has no problem spending Giants ownership's money

Since getting control of the Giants' front office, the player-turned-POBO has been aggressive with payroll

The minor leaguers in this trade are OF James Tibbs III and RHP Jose Bello, so salary dump.

Angels shut out the Yankees in New York two nights in a row.

Not only that, but in the last week Aaron Judge has looked human.

Manny Ramirez and Pedro Martinez aren't buying what the Red Sox front office is trying to sell about Devers.

Rays to be sold?

Dodgers owner found $10 billion in between his sofa cushions, buys Lakers.

The Dodgers say that they have refused ICE request to post agents by the gates to check the IDs of fans entering the stadium.
I'm sure other major league teams are getting the same request.

MLB needs to address this as a group. That these Nazi tactics aren’t welcome at any MLB or minor league park.

If it wasn't for Judge, I wonder what Raleigh's chances would be at MVP. I wonder if the Mariners actually make the playoffs and he continues on this pace if he would be a lock for it despite Judge. He's having a hell of a year.

My local sports radio station this morning said that the Mariners pitcher and an umpire had to be helped off the field yesterday due to heat exhaustion.

That has been going around. There were a few stoppages in the Reds game because Elly De La Cruz and another guy had heat related issues. I wonder if MLB would delay a game because it is too hot. I'm glad I do not live in the midwest heat and humidity. I remember my first trip to San Antonio in 1999 was so sticky and not fun.

With Cal Raleigh having a career year, aren’t the Mariners obligated to waste it and miss the playoffs? They had an elite starting rotation last year and wasted it. Never made the playoffs during Felix Hernandez’s prime (or his entire career). Only made the playoffs in Ichiro’s first season. Couldn’t make the World Series with Griffey, Rodriguez, Martinez and Johnson on the same team.

If they’re still in contention at the trade deadline, I’m sure they will swing a big trade for…. Ty France.

Noah Syndergaard, who hasn't pitched since 2023, has signed a minor league contract with the White Sox.

I'm glad I do not live in the midwest heat and humidity. I remember my first trip to San Antonio in 1999 was so sticky and not fun.

And I remember when ol' Busch Stadium II (1966-2005; was one of the early prototypes for Riverfront Stadium in Cincinatti) here in St. Louis got so hot and humid back in the early to mid 1990's that a player's cleats melted and got caught in the AstroTurf and he was seriously injured. And that was not the only time a player's cleats got caught in the AstroTurf, as reports of that go back to the 1970's. Not to mention some players had to be taken off the field due to heat, humidity, and lack of air circulation in those old multipurpose stadiums. These prompted the removal of AstroTurf from the field at Busch II back in 1996 and the building of Busch III. Hell, I remember going to games at Busch Stadium II during the 80's/90's/early 2000's and having to take a cold shower when I got home b/c it was so hot and humid.

You'd think that with the weather in St. Louis being what it is in the spring and summer (either very hot and humid, rainy, or both) you'd think people and the owners would have voted for the domed and/or retractable roof stadium that was presented as a possible Busch Stadium II (1966-2005) and Busch III. But no, they didn't b/c domed and retractable roof stadiums are too expensive. Similar could probably be said of some other cities where MLB teams are based in.
