2025 Red Sox and MLB Thread


Regarding home-run power, Yaz got off to a late start: before 1967, he reached 20 only once, with...20, and another season had 19. He hit 11,14,15 & 16 of them otherwise. He was always a good doubles hitter however: even in '66, an otherwise bad year for him (when he probably really started to hear it from fans & writers alike), he led the league. He was a far, Far superior fielder than DiMaggio & Jackson of course; and he was close to being the LF equal to Clemente in RF.
 
Happy Father's Day Raffy!
Love, the Yankees

Amid a season of discontent, it appears Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers has a new home.

The Red Sox are trading Devers to the San Francisco Giants for a package centered around pitchers Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks, according to a Sunday afternoon report from Robert Murray of FanSided.


In addition to Harrison and Hicks, Murray later reported that pitcher Jose Bello and designated hitter and right fielder James Tibbs will also head east.

Devers, 28, has played his entire nine-year big-league career for Boston. He won the World Series with the team in 2018, captured Silver Sluggers in 2021 and 2023, and made All-Star teams in '21, 2022 and 2024.

In 2025, he has slashed .271/.400/.494 with 14 home runs and 57 RBIs.



However, he has also vocally criticized the Red Sox for their handling of the offseason signing of third baseman Alex Bregman—a move that put Devers's longtime home at the hot corner in flux.

The Giants are currently 41-30, and occupy the National League's second wild-card playoff spot. Boston, on the other hand, is 37-36.
