Great! Yoan Moncada has thumb soreness and they don’t know how bad it is. At least the news is encouraging about Rengifo and Neto. I guess it’s been a little while since Mike Trout was in any danger of being voted the best player in baseball. Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s $500 Million was to be net present value in those extension talks.
Rafael Devers now says he will play wherever the Red Sox ask him to play, although he had considered asking them for a trade. He had meetings with the bosses. Presumably they told him to straighten up and fly right or they’d put him on the grounds crew.
The White Sox released Joey Gallo over the weekend. Twins right-hander Matt Canterino had season ending shoulder surgery. Jon Gray has a fractured wrist and will be out for a long time. Mookie Betts is “really sick” with flu like symptoms and might miss the Tokyo series. Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers exited Saturday’s game against the Angels with an oblique issue. They don’t know how bad it is.
The trade deadline is July 31, 2025 this year. Mark your calendars.
