former red sox baseman and three time world champion makes a shocking

David Ortiz, since his retirement, has turned into a popular broadcaster and analyst for Fox Sports. The baseman spent 13 years out of his 19-year MLB career with the Boston Red Sox and stood as an active rival to the entire Yankee fanbase. Notably, there was no National League Division Series game conducted yesterday. Consequently, the Fox Sports crew had a day off. Analogous to that, ten-time All-Star, David Ortiz spoke about his lovely day off, and how he spent it watching cartoons. The baseman and designated hitter, who concluded his career with 541 home runs, relived his childhood days thanks to a day off in the studio.

Yesterday, there were no NLDS games, so our crew had the day off. How'd you spend your day, @davidortiz? "It was unbelievable, man… I watched my favorite cartoon: Tom and Jerry." Former Boston Red Sox slugging designated hitter J.D. Martinez has no plans to retire this offseason, even though he doesn't have a job as spring training approaches. We heard this past weekend that Martinez wants to play, but he's already lined up his next gig for when his playing days end, whenever that is.

J.D. Martinez plans to transition to professional pickleball after his baseball career. He signed an exclusive deal with pickleball company JOOLA today. “I see pickleball as a sport I’ll be involved in for the long run and JOOLA’s commitment to the sport and my personal growth in the game makes this partnership even more special,” said...

Monday, Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow and President Sam Kennedy addressed the blockbuster trade with the Giants, one day after it sent shockwaves through Major League Baseball. Breslow's comments included a stunning admission: he, like many fans, has second-guessed his own process for how he communicated with Devers throughout the season. More news: Red Sox Promote Top Prospect: Reports Just hours after completing a sweep of the rival New York Yankees and winning their fifth game in a row and eighth of their last 10 contests, the Boston Red Sox stunned the baseball... Aside from the team’s recent hot stretch, the move was also surprising because of the perception that the season-long drama between Devers and the Red Sox had seemed to cool down. Devers himself was asked about the situation following Boston’s 2-0 win against New York on Sunday (in which he hit a home run) and his final response during the postgame media session only appeared...

“Rafael Devers spoke postgame and the last question he was asked was if he and the club had moved past all the drama? ‘Yes, it’s past us,'” Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald posted on Bluesky. “Hours later, he was gone.” When the Red Sox acquired star third baseman Alex Bregman late in the offseason, there were rampant rumors regarding where Devers would play in 2025. With promising youngster Triston Casas manning first base, Devers moved from the hot corner to full-time designated hitter at the start of the season. Casas suffered a knee injury in early May, however, which is likely to cost him the rest of the season.

Zolak and Bertrand react to last night’s shocking news that the Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants The Boston Red Sox made a stunning, franchise-altering move on Sunday, just hours after completing a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees at Fenway Park. Veteran slugger Rafael Devers was traded to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks, left-hander Kyle Harrison, and minor-leaguers James Tibbs and Jose Bello.

Mazz breaks down his view of the Rafael Devers trade

With some Boston Red Sox fans only starting to recover from the infamous Mookie Betts trade, the club made another one of the most controversial moves in the franchise's history. On Sunday, fresh off an uplifting three-game sweep of the New York Yankees, the Red Sox traded veteran slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for right-hander Jordan Hicks, left-hander Kyle... The deal's bizarre timing left many, including former Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon, thinking the reports of Devers' departure had to be fake.

The Red Sox killed any momentum from sweeping the Yankees and winning eight of their last 10 games. They shipped Devers to San Francisco for an underwhelming return, and though they shed the $254 million remaining on his contract, they reminded their frustrated fan base that pinching pennies takes precedence over assembling...

This offseason is setting up to be an emotional roller coaster for Boston Red Sox fans. Is Alex Bregman coming back or not? It's only been a week since his opt-out became official, and over the next couple of months, there are bound to be moments in which it feels like both outcomes are certainties. It's brutal to say the Red Sox need a contingency plan when losing Bregman would feel so costly. But that's the reality of the situation, and if Bregman does leave, all involved would be grateful if there were an effective pivot plan in place. On Sunday, Boston Herald insider Mac Cerullo named a small handful of potential Bregman replacements and floated the idea of the Red Sox acquiring Josh Jung, a 2023 All-Star and World Series champion for...

"Josh Jung is another interesting name who has been floated as a change of scenery candidate," wrote Cerullo/ "Jung is a former top prospect who helped lead the Rangers to the 2023 World Series... The Boston Red Sox are widely expected to reunite with Alex Bregman for the 2026 season and beyond after the third baseman's second stint in free agency. Despite that prevalent expectation, a few bold reporters and insiders have differed from the pack, noting that Boston could be unlikely to match Bregman's price this time around. In the event that they're right, the Red Sox will need to come up with a backup plan at third base. Marcelo Mayer could be a solid internal solution, but if Boston plans to use him at his natural shortstop position in the future, they should probably play him there as much as possible while... The Red Sox could also trade for a third baseman to replace Bregman if he departs.

Nolan Arenado has been floated multiple times as a solution, but Red Sox reporter Mac Cerullo has proposed a younger World Series champion to fill the possible void at the hot corner. "Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung is another interesting name who has been floated as a change of scenery candidate," Cerullo wrote in a November 9 mailbag for The Boston Herald. "Jung is a former top prospect who helped lead the Rangers to the 2023 World Series title as a rookie, but this past season he did not take the step forward the club hoped... Jung isn't a perfect replacement for Bregman by any means. One of the reasons that the Red Sox coveted Bregman so aggressively last offseason is for his winning history and years of MLB experience. Bregman has won two World Series with the Houston Astros and he's a three-time All-Star.

Jung is young, much like the rest of the 2026 Red Sox squad, and he has much less experience than Bregman, who was a valuable leader to Boston's top prospects. After splashing huge money on Rafael Devers, San Francisco Giants president Buster Posey may have finally landed the big bat their fans have craved. But there’s one problem: nobody, not even Posey, knows which position the former Red Sox slugger will play yet. Try PFSN's FREE fantasy baseball trade analyzer to help you make the best decisions for your fantasy teams! For months before his shocking trade from Boston to the West Coast, there were reports of Devers’ dissatisfaction with the Red Sox front office and Craig Breslow over repeated requests to shift to multiple... The Giants, though, are yet to figure out where Devers will play defensively.

When asked, Posey admitted to being unsure, which is surprising after having just made a massive financial commitment to bring in the high-profile slugger. “There’s the possibility to play third some with Chapman out, to get some in at first, and DH,” Posey said. “By all accounts… he’s a winner. He wants to do what he can to help the team.” Posey on where Devers potentially fits in defensively:
