Carlos Narváez shines in Red Sox victory
Since joining the Boston Red Sox from the New York Yankees, Carlos Narváez has become a big piece of the puzzle. On June 8, 2025 he hit a 3 run homer in the 6th inning to help Boston beat the Yankees 11-7. The Red Sox won 2 of 3 in the series. Narváez played 6 games for the Yankees in 2024 and has a .820 OPS in 50 games with Boston. He's also great behind the plate and with the pitchers. His former teammate Aaron Judge wasn't surprised.
He's also great at catching and guiding pitchers. His former teammate, Aaron Judge, wasn't surprised by his success.
'Narvy is a hard worker, a great teammate, one of the best we ever had over here,'
Judge said, per MLB.com.
'I was sad to see him go, but excited for the opportunity he's getting right now.'
Narváez's big plays show why the Red Sox are happy with the trade.

In December 2024, the Red Sox got Narváez for a minor league pitcher and some extra funds. This was similar to another trade that brought pitcher Garrett Whitlock to the Boston Red Sox. Narváez stepped up as Boston's main catcher after an injury to Connor Wong.
His strong hitting and defence have made him a fan favourite. Another ex-Yankee, Agustín Ramírez, is also doing well with the Miami Marlins after a trade.
'He had a short time coming up with us for a little bit and the stuff I saw in spring training and stuff I heard about, everybody loved him,'
Judge said about Narváez.
'He outworked everybody in this room.'
These trades show how teams can help each other, and Narváez is proving to be a great addition to the Red Sox.

"Going Against The Grain...": How England Test Legend James Anderson Is Turning Into A T20 Specialist At 42
Lancashire captain Keaton Jennings hailed England pace legend James Anderson for adapting to the pace of T20 cricket really well on his return to the format after 11 years during the ongoing T20 Blast competition. Anderson continued his fine run in the T20 Blast, picking up 3/31 in four overs at an economy of 7.75 against Northamptonshire on Sunday. Anderson, who retired from Tests last year and had been a Test specialist for around a decade, picked up the scalps of Ricardo Vasconcelos (32), South Africa international Matthew Breetzke (9) and ex-England batter Ravi Bopara (28) as Northamptonshire put 180/6 in their 20 overs, with Liam Livingstone also picking up two scalps. Anderson, 42, has taken seven wickets so far in the T20 Blast at an average of 10.14 and an economy rate of just 6/45. His best figures are 3/17, which also happen to be his best T20 figures. While Lancashire lost by 24 runs, restricted to 156/9 in 20 overs despite scores from Michael Jones (32) and Ashton Turner (23), due to some fine bowling from George Scrimshaw (4/19 in four overs), Jennings was full of praise for the ageless English pace wonder, as quoted by Wisden "What he (Anderson) is doing, he is ridiculous. He's bowling three overs in the power play, and that kind of goes against the grain. Most guys have a maximum of two generally. You do not want somebody to line you up. He is reading batters," Jennings said after the loss. "He (Anderson) has somehow moved with the times of T20 cricket without playing a game. I suppose that shows the level of care he's taken in his own cricket, in his own preparation." "Going nice and quick, controlling areas, watching batters, following them, going wider when it is needed. The clarity of thought, when he does sort of mis-execute, has not - unsurprisingly - rattled him. He is straight back to what he needs to execute in the next ball," Jennings continued. On a concluding note, Jennings said it is silly "not to pick his brain and pick his wealth of expertise" and that Anderson's presence benefits the dressing room. "As captain, you fight yourself a little bit. But also, I think you have got to watch the sort of flow of the game. And if he looks hard to hit, you keep him on. Jimmy has executed brilliantly well. Hopefully it long continues," he concluded.
