Nobody special. Just David Ortiz chiming in on Devers' attitude..... https://x.com/BostonStrong_34/status/1934730611513786601?t=IqacWylycHLYo6kIxPJ_kg&s=19

The fact that the Olde Town Team bid in range of SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION for Juan Soto is a clear indicator of Ownerships willingness to spend. Anything said to the contrary is hogwash..

Right, and Devers was GIVEN a market-level 313 million dollar Contract by the Organization. I'm sure Anthony and Mayer are quaking right now.

I just love the unwarranted hysterics about losing Xander. That was like a gift from above that keeps on giving. We should have re-signed Mookie, so we are merely 1-1 so far at this. We will see what happens with Chunky.

Good trade by the braintrust. Great "hitter," but an aging, weight-gaining anchor, who is a young "full-time" DH. He's not Papi, he's not Manny, so, great to unload this albatross. Going hard after Soto was the proper move, and now we can go hard after future guys.

Already a thread on it.

Rafael Devers has been traded to the San Francisco Giants, with Jeff Passan confirming this deal has been finalized. Devers has had a tumultuous relationship with the current Red Sox front office, led by Craig Breslow. During the offseason, there was public drama surrounding the signing of Alex Bregman, who plays Devers' preferred position of third base. After that settled down, issues arose yet again when it was floated that Devers might be a good fit for first base, recently vacated by the season-ending injury to Triston Casas. Coming to Boston in the trade is right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks, left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison, outfield prospect James Tibbs, and more. More details will be announced as they become available. Tibbs, now in High A, is the Giants' fourth-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline. He is a left-handed corner outfielder with limited athleticism and could end up at first base in the near future. The 22-year-old is having a breakthrough season with the bat, posting an .857 OPS in High-A Eugene. Also coming to Boston is veteran right-handed pitcher Hicks. The 28-year-old righty had a somewhat successful transition back to the rotation last season after years in the bullpen, posting a 4.10 ERA for the Giants with weak peripherals around that ERA. He has made nine starts in 2025 but has pitched to a terrible 6.47 ERA, though his 3.59 FIP suggests there is a large amount of bad luck in play. Even accounting for the low FIP, Hicks's 8.0 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 isn't lighting the baseball world on fire, either. Thanks to @king koji for breaking this on the Talk Sox forums. View full article

Look at this disgraceful Fat Bastard last night. Can't even hustle while playing DH. Look at his Tits shake. This play could have been beat out. And then snubbing his Manager afterwards to boot. Just a horrible signing by Management. I would lose this loser any way I can. https://x.com/tylermilliken_/status/1931878983769211271?t=-ToVlmKJnL2hlNQucC6oiA&s=01 Look at this fat POS.

Bregman is not opting out. But even if he does (which means he had a killer season) Sox are re-signing him.

So when does this deal begin? Passan says it ends in '34. Need more clarity on options etc.

I It's not lost, on this poster, the whole 1918 Babe Ruth, connection with 2018, Mookie Betts. Also, the fact the Sox won in: 1903 1912 1915 1916 1918, then never again the REST OF THE CENTURY. And then won in: 2004 2007 2013 2018 Hope we aren't looking at the same, similar curse for letting go of a Generational player based on money....

here is our strongest team.Jackie Bradley full-time CF. jonny Gomes and Grady Sizemore LF platoon. Daniel Nava back-up 1st Baseman Mike Carp needs to be traded. Victorino in right+ when injured, Bradley to right + Sizemore to Center with Nava back to Gomes platoon.
