Joe Shasky predicts one of three things will happen regarding the Giants two left-handed first base/ DH type players.
Great attendance at the Roman Anthony press conference. Wonder why. John Henry cigar? What does the Red Sox future look like? Are they set for the next few years? We prefer what the Rangers and Dodgers are doing, but this could be a good move for the Sox. The sky is the limit. We hope it works out. Did Breslow break dance on the Devers trade?
Listen for all the details of the Roman Anthony extension. Does the Roman Anthony contract extension prove the Red Sox are cheap? He will not become a free agent until he is in his 30s. This is one of those guys who you can see going really far in MLB. He came into the league exactly as advertised. For some that are celebrating this, are you trying to distract us from a terrible trade deadline? The guys break down the Red Sox front office decisions as a whole. We are still upset over the trade deadline, but the future is bright for Anthony and the Sox. There should be no outrage over this move. Great attendance at the Roman Anthony press conference. Wonder why. John Henry cigar? What does the Red Sox future look like? Are they set for the next few years? We prefer what the Rangers and Dodgers are doing, but this could be a good move for the Sox.

Ever catch yourself jumping to conclusions… and being totally wrong? Or maybe you find it hard to admit when you're mistaken—especially when it's personal. That’s not just stubbornness, it’s cognitive bias, and it’s wired into all of us. But there’s good news: we can grow beyond it. In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem Fadling talks with Dr. Erin Devers, Christian social psychologist and author of The Unbiased Self. Together, they explore how understanding the way our minds work can lead us into deeper formation and freer relationships. You’ll hear how fast vs. slow thinking, identity in Christ, gratitude, and community all play vital roles in transforming the way we see ourselves, others, and God. Whether you’re tired of stuck thinking or want to love more clearly, this practical and hope-filled conversation is for you. ______________________________________________________ Connect with Gem on Instagram and learn more on the Unhurried Living website and her new book, Hold That Thought: Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads Learn about PACE: Certificate in Leadership and Soul Care Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
Will Tampa finish above the Red Sox? Discussing the Devers return. That trade will age poorly for the Giants. The Red Sox traded three prospects in the top 30 prospects moved, but got NOTHING back. This should piss everyone off. Ken Rosenthal calls Sox deadline an epic fail. He roasted Breslow.

This should piss everyone off. Ken Rosenthal calls Sox deadline an epic fail. He roasted Breslow. Friday Four Pack: 1. SHOULD CRAIG BRESLOW BE FIRED IF THE RED SOX MISS THE PLAYOFFS? 2. WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE TERRY MCLAURIN OR MICAH PARSONS? 3. WHAT IS THE BEST CONCERT YOU'VE EVER GONE TO? 4. WHAT IS THE BEST SUMMER SONG? Patriots coaching staff ranked lower than we think.
Here is how the show looked today HR 1 - Sox trade deadline is the worst of both worlds HR 2 - Continuing the bashing of Breslow and the Red Sox feeble deadline HR 3 - F - Deadline HR 4 - Revisiting the Devers trade post deadline
Revisiting the Devers trade after the deadline makes Breslow look even worse. Kelly and Suarez could have been ours. Prospect hugging is terrible. The perfect GM is Theo. Would you rather hire the Dombrowski model or the Breslow model? Wormy Cora snuck away from the deadline. An EPIC Grab Bag sounder. Breslow is hard to deal with. Ivy League dweebs even hate him. Clip Du Jour
After the Giants defeated the Dodgers on June 13, they were tied for first place in the NL West with LA and held the 4th best record in baseball. Since that time, they have been the worst team in baseball (yes, even worse than the Colorado Rockies), going 13-26 and plummeting out of the playoff race. They had an 0-6 homestand, something the Giants haven't done since 1898! They've lost 12 of 14. They are nine games out of the west and six behind in the wild card. They also have the worst record since the Devers trade. So, what went wrong? How did one of the best teams in baseball in mid-June suddenly implode? You can certainly point to situational hitting. The Giants went 0-22 with runners in scoring position during the Mets sweep at home. Untimely bullpen moves seems to be Melvin's calling card, yet he was signed to a one year extension in the middle of this slump. Pitching has gotten worse with a 4.35 team ERA during this stretch, and they've been outscored 4.9 to 3.7 on average. The silver lining to this is that the collapse happened so quickly, that Buster Posey could pivot from being buyers to sellers. They started the sale by trading fan-favorite Tyler Rogers to the Mets for three players. It's a two-month rental for the Mets and there's a good chance that the Giants re-sign Rogers for 2026. The deadline is this evening, so we'll see if the Giants can fleece another desperate team for an arm and maybe this season won't be a complete waste. The three of us break it down in this eulogy of the 2025 season.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast
The Giants offense flounders again, but what in the hell can we do about it!
Thank goodness that this first base project with Devers was not in Boston

Welcome back to Tablesetters for Episode 95 — and joining us once again is a fan favorite from Episode 55: Matt Devine of Devine Sports Gospel. Known for his sharp takes, infectious humor, and deep pulse on Padres baseball, Matt returns just in time for one of the most pivotal moments of the season: the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline. We begin where San Diego fans want us to: What is A.J. Preller cooking? With the Padres sitting on the edge of contention, Matt helps us break down whether Preller is ready to go all-in, or if we're staring at a rare hybrid approach. We get into potential trade targets like Dylan Cease, Michael King, and even some left-field and catching upgrades — from big splashes to bargain bats. From there, we widen the lens across the league: – Could the D-backs become surprise sellers? – What's next for the Orioles? – Who is ready to outbid the market for Eugenio Suárez? – Will contenders like the Mariners, Yankees, and Phillies go aggressive or stay calculated? And just as the October picture starts to take shape, we unpack a few major stories from around the league: ⚾ Jacob Misiorowski's innings management — Milwaukee's flamethrower might be the most electric rookie in baseball, but his workload is clearly under tight restriction. We break down what that means for the Brewers' October blueprint. ⚾ Rafael Devers at first base? It finally happened — just not in a Red Sox uniform. His first game in the field for the Giants came in the midst of a losing streak, but it may have sparked a turnaround in San Francisco. We explore the implications for both the Giants and Boston's long-term handling of Devers. We also put Devin through a round of Buy or Sell, where we debate: – Will Cal Raleigh break the Mariners' single-season HR record? – And are Mason Miller and Emmanuel Clase really off the board — or just expensive? We also have a great new addition, it's time for a brand-new edition of Blind Rankings — where Devin and Matt team up to rank some of the greatest Trade Deadline Rentals in modern MLB history. From Céspedes' 2015 magic and “Mannywood” in LA, we reflect on the short-term heroes who left a lasting legacy.
