Roman Anthony slugged his first home run of his MLB career on Monday to help the Red Sox beat the Mariners, 2-0.
Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said he believes there is a "real chance" his team is better after trading Rafael Devers.
The Red Sox CBO has taken care not to divulge specifics about what went on with Devers behind the scenes and what most of the trade conversations were like. However, on WEEI’s Greg Hill Show on Tuesday morning, Breslow did slam one report as “absolutely not true.”

As John Henry and the Fenway Sports Group are the owners of both clubs, a conspiracy theory immediately circulated that the Red Sox were forced to trade Devers because Liverpool had landed Wirtz.

“Devers was humiliated [by the Red Sox],” Ramirez told MLB insider Héctor Gómez. “It’s not about pride or ego. I think the team didn’t respect him or communicate with him properly. I’m sure they didn’t do that to [Roger] Clemens. I can’t imagine the Yankees telling [Aaron] Judge, ‘Now we’re moving you to catcher.’”
