The week began with Boston calling up top prospect Roman Anthony. It ended with the Red Sox trading slugger Rafael Devers. In between, they swept the rival Yankees. What’s next for this team is anyone’s guess.
Early exit polls show that while he should’ve been called up sooner, he looks the part. A two-run double on Tuesday was enough to push the Sox over the line for his first victory at the lop level, while he demonstrated his raw power by clobbering a ball (and nearly killing Rays starter Shane Baz) that registered at 111 miles per hour off the bat.
The Braves, Rangers, and Red Sox will be adopting an interesting strategy at the MLB trade deadline this year.
