A huge stunner, but it seems clear that Red Sox-Devers relationship had soured since the move off third base. Of course, he won’t be a third baseman in San Francisco, either, though perhaps he’ll play the position some until Matt Chapman comes off the IL. Devers is owed about $30 million per year through 2033, so the Red Sox could only expect so much in return here. Harrison, at least, has gotten quite a bit more interesting with his velocity up, and they’re taking some salary back with the injured Hicks, who still remains interesting as a fifth starter or setup man.

The Red Sox had to clear a spot on their 40-man roster to accommodate their megadeal with the Giants on Sunday and unfortunately that left Penrod out in the cold. The 27-year-old southpaw has registered a 2.84 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and an 8/4 K/BB ratio over 6 1/3 innings in the minor leagues this season after missing the first few months with a left elbow strain. There’s a chance that he passes through waivers unclaimed and continues to serve as extra depth for the Red Sox.

The one real unknown in this mega deal is Jose Bello. The 20-year-old right-hander was signed out of the Dominican Republic and has spent the past three seasons pitching in the lowest levels of the minor leagues. He has registered a 2.00 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and a 28/3 K/BB ratio over 18 innings for the Giants’ affiliate in the Arizona Complex League this season. He’s a very intriguing young arm but a long way from potentially helping out at the major league level.

Tibbs was the Giants’ first-round pick (13th overall) from the 2024 draft class. He’s off to a solid start at High-A Eugene this season, slashing .245/.377/.480 with 12 long balls, 32 RBI and a pair of stolen bases. How the Red Sox ultimately get judged on this mega deal may come down to how big of an impact Tibbs makes in the big leagues upon his ultimate arrival.

Ohtani will make his season debut on the mound in an abbreviated opener role after throwing 44 pitches over three innings of live batting practice earlier this week. There had been rumblings that he could take the mound in live game action next week, but it’s fair to say that him starting against the Padres on Monday comes as a major surprise to everyone. The last time we saw Ohtani on a big-league mound he registered a 3.14 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and a 167/55 K/BB ratio over 132 innings in 23 starts for the Angels during the 2023 season. All eyes will be on that game in Los Angeles on Monday evening. Expect that he’ll function in an opener role with Ben Casparius likely to work bulk innings behind him.

Yelich had totaled two singles in 11 at-bats since returning Thursday from a bruised right wrist suffered on a HBP, but he hit the ball hard today, with his homer leaving the bat at 108.2 mph and his double checking in at 102.3. The double was just his sixth in 288 plate appearances this season.
