Braves Announce Trade With Orioles After Craig Kimbrel News
Braves Announce Trade With Orioles After Craig Kimbrel News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One day after a monumental collapse by their bullpen, the Atlanta Braves shook things up via a trade with the Baltimore Orioles. Advertisement It involved one of the two relief pitchers at the center of the eight-run meltdown in the final two innings of Thursday's 11-10 home loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. On Friday, Atlanta announced that it has dealt reliever Scott Blewett to the Orioles for cash considerations. This marks Blewett's fourth stop and third MLB team since April. The 29-year-old began the 2025 season with the Minnesota Twins and spent a week with Baltimore in mid-April before his contract was purchased by the Braves. Atlanta also made another bullpen move official on Friday by selecting 16-year veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to the major league roster from Triple-A. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal was first to report the decision on Thursday shortly after the gut-punch loss. Former Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Scott Blewett (63) pitches at Truist Zanine-Imagn Images Blewett appeared in 11 games for the Braves, posting a 5.51 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, 10 walks and 13 strikeouts across 16 1/3 innings. The former 2014 second-round draft pick holds a 3.02 ERA across 53 2/3 innings in his major league career. Advertisement He most recently took the mound on Thursday when he surrendered three hits (all home runs), two walks and five earned runs in 1 1/3 innings after entering in the eighth frame with a 9-3 lead. Entering Friday, the Braves (27-34) sit in fourth place in the NL East, 11 games behind the division-leading New York Mets (39-24). They're set to take on the San Francisco Giants for a three-game series in the Bay Area starting Friday night.

Bucky Dent tells The Post why the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry will never fade
Access the Yankees beat like never before Don't miss Greg Joyce's text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. Sign Up Now All those years after the Curse of the Bambino began, it was Bucky Bleeping Dent who left all of Boston cursing its hated rival with his home run off Mike Torrez one sudden-death playoff afternoon in 1978 at Fenway Park. 'It will always be a rivalry,' Dent told The Post over the phone before the Yankees and Red Sox met for the first time this season on Friday night at the Stadium. 'It's just a big thing … Boston, New York. Some people in their family are Red Sox, some are Yankees. It's just that kind of rivalry. It will always be that way. I don't know if it's as intense like it was back while I was there playing against 'em in the '70s.' It is virtually impossible for it to be as intense —Bill 'Spaceman' Lee injuring his shoulder during a 1976 brawl, former Boston president Larry Luccino calling the Yankees the Evil Empire in 2002, Pedro Martinez hurling Don Zimmer to the ground in 2003, Aaron Boone's walk-off home run off Tim Wakefield in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, the Red Sox storming back from an 0-3 deficit to shock the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS on their way to beating the Cardinals and ending their 86-year-old World Series Curse. But it will always be Boston versus New York.

Traded by the Yankees, Carlos Narváez has seized on his chance to play for the Red Sox
There were no tears when Narváez returned on Friday as a member of the Red Sox, only gratitude. The Yankees traded Narváez to the Sox in December. He earned a roster spot in spring training and has since become the team's primary catcher and done enough at the plate to merit hitting cleanup against his old teammates on Friday. In what has been a season defined by drama and disappointment, Narváez is one of the few Sox players to exceed expectations. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'He took the baton and took off,' manager Alex Cora said. 'He's done an amazing job.' Advertisement Offensively, Narváez focused on cutting down on strikeouts and putting the ball in play. 'Just find some barrel, keep the line moving,' he said. 'It's been paying off and I'm super happy contributing to the team.' Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Cora in December that Narváez would be a good player. 'Hitting fourth, I don't know that I saw that,' Boone said. 'But I know how much I love the player and the person so I'm not surprised he's having success. 'This is obviously a really talented catcher and really smart guy. Amazing head on his shoulders, amazing person.' Advertisement Going back to spring training, the Sox were impressed with how Narváez worked with the pitchers and his athletic ability behind the plate. They broke camp with Connor Wong as the starting catcher. But when Wong broke a finger on April 7, Narváez became the starter and has held the job since. Defensive metrics show Narváez as one of the top catchers in baseball and he arrived at Yankee Stadium hitting .288 with an .812 OPS. The Sox had a day off on Thursday and Narváez spent some time with Yankees infielder Oswaldo Cabrera, one of his closest friends and a fellow Venezuelan. There were plenty of handshakes and hugs at batting practice before a passing rainstorm chased everybody back inside. For the Yankees, this is not a case of the one who got away. The organization had a deep group of catchers and made the best trade they could. The Sox sent 21-year-old righthander Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz to the Yankees for Narváez and he has a 3.88 earned run average and 1.10 WHIP in nine starts at High A Hudson Valley. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman knew he was taking a risk in trading Narváez to the Red Sox. But he didn't let the age-old rivalry between the teams stand in the way. He liked Rodriguez-Cruz and the deal was made. Narváez was soon surrounded by a group of reporters when he walked through the visitors clubhouse before the game. He credited the Yankees for his success and thanked the Red Sox for the opportunity to play regularly. Advertisement 'Super pumped for this opportunity and being able to wear both uniforms,' Narváez said. 'It's amazing.' Peter Abraham can be reached at
