News about Alex Verdugo

The Yankees are now 5-1 following their heavy 7-0 loss in Arizona earlier this week and a 5-2 victory over the D'Backs on Monday. This season was the first time in franchise history that the pinstripes won their five games of the season on the road. What's more, this season is the fifth time in franchise history that the Yankees have started with a 5-0 record. The Yankees' last season in which they had five straight victories was 32 years ago, when they opened the season with a 6-0 record.

Juan Soto's Boston Red Sox is apparently going bargain shopping to keep up with the rival New York Yankees' blockbuster trade. On Friday, the Red Sox acquired outfielder Tyler O'Neill from the St. Louis Cardinals, bringing a two-time Gold Glove winner to replace the departing Alex Verdugo, who was recently traded to the Bronx. In return, St. Louis' right-handers Nick Robertson and Victor Santos were released. In 2021, O'Neill finished eighth in the NL MVP poll, batting.286 with 34 home runs and 80 RBIs. However, he hasn't come close to that success since - or before -- with a.248 average and 78 homers in his six-year career. O'Neill is in his last season of arbitration eligibility and he could qualify as a free agent after the 2024 season. He is expected to make $5.5 million per year.

Alex Verdugo of the Boston Red Sox has been traded by the New York Yankees for their seventh trade in 50 years, with the two rivals completing just their seventh trade in 50 years. In exchange for Greg Weissert, Richard Fitts, and Nicholas Judice, the Yankees get the outfielder. The change is not expected to bring in Juan Soto from the San Diego Padres, and it does not mean that the end of the season is over.

Chaim Bloom, the Boston Red Sox's Chief Baseball Officer, was fired on Thursday as the team progressed toward their third last-place finish in four seasons. The AL East franchise revealed the news before a doubleheader against the New York Yankees, who lost the first two games of the season to tie Boston for last. President & CEO Sam Kennedy read from a prepared speech before his press conference.'The call was not made lightly or quickly,' said President & CEO Sam Kennedy.'

One family's sons had to throw away a game of baseball before the Boston Red Sox came to the rescue. On Sunday, the television broadcast caught the moment during the New York Yankees' double header against their opponents. The young man, Charlie Mulligan, threw the ball back into the field after being given a foul ball by a nearby fan standing in front of him.

The Boston Red Sox's defense this season has been below par, as of late, and they put this ineptness on full throttle when they lost by 6-2 to Yandy Diaz. Diaz, a bouncing ground ball that made its way to right field as Rays teammate Manuel Margot was running from first to second base and dragging Red Sox baseman Enmanuel Valdez out of place as he rushed to cover the bag. Margot continued to race around and score, while Dantez was rewarded second on the throw to the plate by right fielder Alex Verdugo.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is back with the San Diego Padres, bringing his trademark flair to the game of baseball. He's also returned with a hint of humility. For the first time since an 80-game PED suspension that shocked and enraged his teammates, administrators, and a fan base, the 24-year-old is playing in a regular season game on Thursday. The Arizona Diamondbacks will leadoff and play right field. 'It's like my first game in the big leagues - those nerves have sparked again,' Tatis said before the game. 'Just happy to be here, and grateful for the opportunity.' We have a long way to go, so we can't wait to contribute.'

In the ninth inning of Saturday night's game against the Boston Red Sox, Orioles outfielder Ryan McKenna dropped a quick, two-out fly, costing his team's victory. Masataka Yoshida's hit sailed to the middle of Fenway Park's deep left field, and McKenna strode slowly to his right, eager to make the grab for the final out of the game. The ball bounced off the palm of the 26-year-old's glove and crashed to the ground when it collided with the ground. The home crowd erupted in applause.

Aaron Judge brought his major league-leading 56th and 57th home runs to help the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 7-6 on Tuesday night. Judge Roger Maris, who is playing in New York's 142nd game, is four runs away from tying the American League home run record set with the Yankees in 1961. Judge had two tying solo homers off Nick Pivetta in the sixth and Garrett Whitlock in the eighth after going homerless in five games.
