Trevor Story's resurgence at the plate turned out to be short-lived, considering the Boston Red Sox shortstop has been batting .115 over his last 19 games.

As an outfielder, Anthony faces a logjam for everyday playing time as Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreau and Rob Refsnyder split time, with Masataka Yoshida hoping to return soon from an injury. And at a shortstop, Mayer would have to compete with highly paid veteran Trevor Story for playing time.

The Boston Red Sox are making history with back-to-back matchups against each CY Young winner from last season.

Explore a potential Boston Red Sox trade idea that sends Rafael Devers to the Cardinals in a blockbuster MLB deal.

The Red Sox are 4-12 in one-run games. That screams of a talented team that is underperforming through a quarter of the season.

Spotrac puts his market value at 12 years, $539 million. ESPN's Jeff Passan also recently had Tucker in his rarefied air of players who could sign $500 million contracts. And if the Cubs are the ones making that happen, it's pretty unlikely they'll then turn around and trade for the roughly quarter of a billion dollars left on Devers' deal.

Detroit dominated Game 1 of this series yesterday with a 14-2 victory. The Tigers had 18 hits to the Red Sox’s six with each team hitting two homers. Detroit is 6-2 in the last eight games, but 1-2 over the past three. Boston is 4-2 in the previous six games and 4-5 over the last nine.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is out for the season with a knee injury, and could use the help of a top 10 prospect in baseball to fill the void.

Devers won his third AL Player of the Week award during a time when his off-field comments are generating more headlines than his hot bat.
