Rafael Devers’ debut in San Francisco, why the Red Sox don’t retain superstars & Shohei Ohtani back on the bump
The baseball world is still buzzing about the shocking trade that sent Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants only two seasons after the Boston Red Sox signed him to an 11-year contract extension. While Devers is already making a great first impression by the Bay, there are still questions about why Boston traded away yet another superstar from their roster.Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about Devers’ debut with the Giants, including a star-studded press conference and already mashing in his first game, as well as whether he could play a position the Red Sox once hoped he'd fill when the team rolls into San Francisco this weekend.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan welcome journalist Joon Lee to try to make sense of the trade from the Red Sox’s side. After trading away Mookie Betts, Chris Sale, and Rafael Devers—along with not re-signing Xander Bogaerts—the guys wonder if the team is losing credibility with an already irritated fan base. Then, they talk about Shohei Ohtani’s return to the mound and Gage Wood throwing a no-hitter in the College World Series.(2:43) – The Opener: Devers’ debut in San Francisco(23:33) – Joon Lee joins the show to talk Red Sox(50:33) – Around the League: Shohei Ohtani pitches again(54:01) – Gage Wood twirls a no-hitter(57:47) – Jordan’s notes from the MLB Draft Combine

Red Sox outslug Yankees, possible World Series preview & weekend recap
This past weekend saw the latest chapter in the greatest rivalry in baseball as the Boston Red Sox took on the New York Yankees in the Bronx. While there never needs to be an extra level of competitiveness between the two clubs, Sunday’s starter for Boston gave the Bronx Bombers a little extra incentive to try to show him up. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about Hunter Dobbins’ absurd comment that made headlines about retiring before signing with the Yankees right before he went on to have a solid outing in the Red Sox’s series-clinching game. The guys then discuss why Boston’s performance this weekend was extremely frustrating to watch, even though they won two out of three in the Bronx. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan discuss whether we saw a World Series preview this past weekend when the Chicago Cubs took their series against the Detroit Tigers, why they’re really excited to see what Buster Posey does at the trade deadline after the San Francisco Giants made another statement sweep against the Atlanta Braves and whether Corbin Burnes getting Tommy John surgery might actually work out in the Arizona Diamondbacks' favor—for now.(2:25) – How Sweep It Is(15:32) – Pirates and Mets complete sweeps(30:59) – Red Sox best Yankees(41:58) – World Series preview?(52:06) – Kind of a Big Deal: Corbin Burnes gets surgery(57:23) – Turbo Mode recap
