Trade Pitch Moves Athletics' Mason Miller to Red Sox originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox placed themselves at the center of MLB trade activity following a blockbuster deal that sent designated hitter Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants.

Boston's chief baseball officer opted to not hold a team meeting and instead traveled to Seattle so he could speak to players in person if they needed to share something.

The Red Sox (38–36) have won three straight series for the first time this season, capped by a sweep of the Yankees at Fenway Park on Sunday. They head into Tuesday holding the final wild-card spot (+170 to make the playoffs, per Caesars ), but the roster still has gaps.
