Ex-Mets GM rips into Red Sox ownership for 'disastrous' trade of Rafael Devers
Former New York Mets GM Jim Duquette called the Boston Red Sox’s trade of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants “an absolute disaster.” The blockbuster deal, announced June 16, 2025, sent the three-time All-Star and face of the franchise to San Francisco for pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison, plus prospects James Tibbs III and Jose Bello. Duquette, speaking on MLB Network Radio, criticized Red Sox ownership and GM Craig Breslow for mishandling Devers’ $313.5 million contract, signed in 2023. Tensions arose when Devers resisted moving from third base to DH and later refused first base after Triston Casas’ injury. “They butchered this from day one,” Duquette said, comparing it to a Netflix documentary on mismanagement. The trade shocked fans after Boston’s sweep of the Yankees.

I remember watching that game at home on TV38: 5/6, including Three HRs and a Triple that was nearly his 4th HR.

Please tell me he's Right-handed.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired left-hander Zach Penrod from the Boston Red Sox, the team announced on Friday.
Penrod, 28, has just seven games of major league experience, all with the Red Sox in relief last season. He had a 2.25 ERA in four innings.
After Boston traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants last week, while acquiring right-hander Jordan Hicks and left-hander Kyle Harrison, Penrod was designated for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster.
In six outings (two starts) with Triple-A Worcester this season, Penrod was 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA. He also had a scoreless inning with the Red Sox's Florida Complex League club.
Penrod, who was not drafted, signed as a free agent with the Texas Rangers in 2018 out of Northwestern Nazarene in Nampa, Idaho, and had two seasons in the independent Pioneer League before signing with the Red Sox in 2023.
In order to make room on the roster, the Dodgers transferred right-hander Roki Sasaki to the 60-day injured list.
