Your guide to the Rafael Devers trade. Plus: Shohei Ohtani back on the mound tonight
The Windup Newsletter ⚾ | This is The Athletic's MLB newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Windup directly in your inbox. We have our first absolute stunner of the year: Rafael Devers to the Giants for Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks and two minor leaguers. Plus: Shohei Ohtani returns to the mound … tonight?! I'm Levi Weaver, here with Ken Rosenthal. Welcome to The Windup! So this is how the saga ends: The Boston Red Sox traded the 28-year-old Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants for RHP Jordan Hicks, LHP Kyle Harrison and two minor leaguers — 22-year-old OF/1B James Tibbs III and 20-year-old RHP Jose Bello. Wow. First up: let's take a look at the players: Know what's funny? The Giants could currently use a first baseman, and third baseman Matt Chapman is currently on the IL. No idea if Devers will pack his glove, or if he'll bump Wilmer Flores from DH to first base. Meanwhile, in Boston, this clears a lane for Masataka Yoshida to return from a shoulder injury that has kept him on the shelf all season. He's been capable of swinging a bat for a while now, but can't yet throw. From my latest column: The only question that matters, in the wake of the Red Sox showing Devers who's the boss, is this: Are the Sox a better team? For 2025, it's difficult to imagine the answer is yes. Beyond that, the Sox might come out ahead, but only if president of baseball operations Craig Breslow puts the team's savings on Devers — some $255 million over the next eight-plus seasons — to good use. Advertisement Based on Breslow's performance thus far, including his dubious return for Devers from the Giants, believe it when you see it. There is no drama like Red Sox drama, and their latest messy divorce with a star player is one that figures to generate debate for some time. Only the Red Sox could upstage themselves after sweeping the Yankees for their third straight series win over a division rival and fifth straight victory overall. This had to happen now? It could not wait until the offseason? By holding off, the Sox might have given themselves a better chance to continue their 2025 revival. They then could have shopped Devers to the entire industry this winter while also using him as a hedge against the possible departure of third baseman Alex Bregman, who is an opt-out waiting to happen. But nope, the Sox were giddy to find an immediate taker for Devers, and perhaps for good reason. The Giants assumed the remainder of Devers' 10-year, $313.5 million contract in only its second year, yet still parted with four players. Sure, Devers' contract is likely to age poorly. But he is still only 28. And good luck to the Red Sox replacing one of the top 10 to 15 hitters in the game, no matter how many precious prospects they push to the majors. More Betts angle: 'It's just crazy' — Betts reacts to former teammate's trade. February 2024: Devers calls out the Red Sox front office for not investing more money in the roster. Feb. 15, 2025: Red Sox do invest more money in the roster, signing third baseman Alex Bregman. This is presumably not what Devers meant. Feb. 17: Devers says he's not moving off third base. March 13: After conversations with manager Alex Cora and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, Devers says he is, in fact, moving off third base. May 8: After an injury to first baseman Triston Casas, the team talks to Devers about playing first base. He speaks out again, saying, 'They can't expect me to play every single position,' and adding: 'They put me in this situation, and they told me that they didn't want to allow me to play any other position. Now, I think they should do their jobs, essentially, and hit the market and look for another player. I'm not sure why they want me to be in-between the way they have been.' May 9: Red Sox owner John Henry flies to Kansas City to meet up with the team and have a conversation with Devers. May 12: After getting out to a rough start to the season, Devers' bat heats up, earning him AL Player of the Week honors. Ken says the Red Sox should just leave Devers alone and let him be a successful DH. Advertisement May 23: Bregman injures his quad, creating a (temporary) opening at third base. Cora says the team is going to … just leave Devers alone and let him be a successful DH. June 15: Devers homers as the Red Sox sweep the Yankees. After the game, he is traded to the Giants. I'll let Jen McCaffrey take the story from here. Speaking of the Giants … Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Bryce Harper … What do they have in common? They were all heavily pursued by the Giants the last time they hit free agency. Another commonality: None of them actually signed with the Giants. It's not that San Francisco hasn't signed any free agents. Jung Hoo Lee, Matt Chapman and Willy Adames exist. But Devers is a different echelon. On last night's ESPN broadcast, Clayton Kershaw called him a 'top-10' hitter in the league 'at worst.' Since his debut in 2017, Devers has hit 215 home runs. Nobody has hit more than 111 (Mike Yastrzemski) in a Giants uniform over that time. Hits? Devers has 1,136, almost 500 more than the Giants' leader (Brandon Crawford, 645). Pick a category: Runs, doubles, RBIs … nobody's close. Of course, one factor is that Devers has played 1,053 games since his debut, and nobody has played more than 762 games (Crawford) for the Giants since then. But that's actually a supporting argument for this trade. Devers is signed through 2033. He could be the team's first real long-term superstar since … well, the guy who made this trade. Even after losing two of three in L.A. over the weekend, the Giants are just two games behind the Dodgers. If there's a time to go for it, it's now. More trade analysis: Keith Law tells us how the pieces fit, including Hicks and Harrison on the Boston pitching staff, while our trio of writers dish out trade grades with more analysis. On Saturday, Ohtani said he could be back on a big-league mound before the All-Star break. Well, now he'll be the opener tonight against the Padres. More on this tomorrow. After seven scoreless innings Saturday, Clayton Kershaw is just 12 strikeouts away from 3,000. For Father's Day, our Cardinals writer Katie Woo wrote a lovely tribute to her dad. Kiké Hernández spoke out on the protests in Los Angeles over the weekend. Meanwhile, singer Nezza sang the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodgers game. 📫 Love The Windup?

Shohei Ohtani set to pitch 1st game for Dodgers against the Padres
Shohei Ohtani will return to the mound on Monday night when the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the San Diego Padres in what is set to be his first pitching appearance since Aug. 23, 2023. The Dodgers made the announcement of Ohtani's return to the bump on Sunday night amid the team's 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants. Ohtani has not pitched since he was a member of the Los Angeles Angels. He had an elbow procedure in between the 21 months he was kept from the pitcher's mound. He will likely be used as the opener for the Dodgers. "Shohei is getting antsy, which is a good thing for us," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before the team announced Ohtani was going to be on the bump. "I don't know if it's going to be one or two innings, but my guess is probably an inning to start. But it's a good thing. The live, simulated, or whatever, sort of ran its course. He's ready to make his debut on the mound." It was expected Ohtani was going to return to the pitcher's mound at some point when he signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with Los Angeles before the 2024 season. It was only a matter of time, and the Dodgers had no qualms about slow-rolling his efforts to pitch again. He started bullpen sessions on March 29 and threw batting practice on May 25. "There's been a lot of anticipation," Roberts said. "I think we've done it the right way as far as our process, communicating with Shohei and feeling good. ... It's good for our team. Our guys are excited about this potential. And obviously, most important, I'm excited for Shohei." Ohtani is one of the rare players in the sport who can both pitch and hit. He has made 86 appearances as a pitcher and struck out 608 batters with a 3.01 ERA. He only ever pitched for the Los Angeles Angels in MLB. Los Angeles is dealing with a slew of injuries in its rotation. Roki Sasaki is set to be sidelined for the long term with right shoulder impingement, Blake Snell is missing time due to left shoulder inflammation, and Tyler Glasnow is dealing with right shoulder inflammation. Ohtani will be called upon to give the Dodgers some relief in that area – at least for now. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Shohei Ohtani to make his long-awaited return to the mound in an abbreviated start for the Dodgers
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani is making his Los Angeles Dodgers pitching debut, 643 days after the two-way superstar had elbow surgery. Ohtani will start and pitch an inning or two against the San Diego Padres on Monday night in the series opener. "He's ready to make his debut on the mound,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday night after the NL West leaders beat San Francisco. The Japanese right-hander has been throwing simulated games recently in preparation for his return while still wielding his powerful bat in the lineup. Typically, pitchers returning from injuries go on minor-league rehab assignments, but Ohtani is an exception. The three-time MVP is batting .290 with 25 homers, which leads the National League, 41 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in the leadoff spot. While Ohtani won't be throwing deep into the game, just his presence on the mound figures to bolster a staff that has been decimated by injuries. The Dodgers have eight starters, including Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki, and six relievers on the injured list. Since Ohtani is already on the roster as the designated hitter, the Dodgers are essentially adding an extra pitcher without having to make a corresponding roster move. Ohtani helped the Dodgers win their eighth World Series title — and his first — last season, the first of a $700 million, 10-year contract. He hasn't pitched since 2023, when he was with the Los Angeles Angels. He had a record of 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA and 167 strikeouts. His last mound appearance was on Aug. 23, 2023, when he got hurt during a start against Cincinnati. He had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 1, 2018, and is recovering from right elbow surgery on Sept. 19, 2023. 'There's been a lot of anticipation,' Roberts said. 'It's good for our team. Our guys are excited about this potential. And obviously, most important, I'm excited for Shohei.'
