In layman’s terms for basketball fans, the Rafael Devers trade from the Boston Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants may just be the baseball equivalent of Luka Dončić being shipped to the Los Angeles Lakers at the NBA trade deadline.

The White Sox turned the page on Andrew Vaughn last week by trading him to the Brewers for right-hander Aaron Civale. A former top prospect, Vaughn has regressed in recent years and was hitting .189 with a .531 OPS through 48 games this season. While Vaughn’s handling was likely botched in the first place, both sides are probably better off apart.

Top prospect Roman Anthony hit his first major league home run and Lucas Giolito struck out 10 in six innings as the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 2-0 on Monday night. Anthony gave Boston an early advantage during his seventh major league game,

At 21 years and 34 days old, Anthony became the youngest Red Sox player to homer since Devers, who was 20 years and 275 days old when he went deep a day after his debut in July 2017. And both long balls came in Seattle.

Roman Anthony left the yard for the first time of his Major League career Monday night. The Red Sox prospect hit his first career home run as Boston kicked off a three-game series against the Mariners in Seattle.
