I do think that there is a real chance that at the end of the season, we're looking back and we've won more games than we otherwise would have." The post ‘Something amiss,’ a new culture, and other takeaways from Red Sox’s presser on Rafael Devers trade appeared first on Boston.

While the Red Sox front office kept reiterating that it was a pure baseball trade, the honest truth is that it was a culture trade. They didn’t believe they could win another championship with Devers. They believed he was the wrong guy to be the centerpiece of the franchise. They didn’t think he would become a leader. So, he is gone.

The Boston Red Sox shocked Major League Baseball by trading star third baseman Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Since that move, several stories have surfaced about the dysfunction in the Red Sox organization. An MLB insider detailed another on Monday.

Craig Breslow broke his silence on the shocking Rafael Devers trade Monday, including a stunning admission about second-guessing his own process.

The San Francisco Giants pulled off the most shocking trade of the Major League Baseball season on Sunday night, obtaining three-time All-Star slugger Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox as part of a five-player swap.

The Sox shipped Devers to the Giants in exchange for right-hander Jordan Hicks, left-hander Kyle Harrison and prospects James Tibbs III and Jose Bello.

How many times will it take for an outfielder to ignore the cutoff man or for a ground ball between the mound and first base to turn into a single before the Red Sox do something to fix their poor fundamentals?

The Yankees suffered their first regular-season series sweep since last July as the Red Sox dominated at Fenway Park, with New York batters hitting just .160 against Boston pitching.
