On this date in baseball history in 1939....



As for the game, I mentioned Boston fell to 2-0. Ted Williams faced Hall-of-Famer Red Ruffing, in his first major league at-bat in the second inning and struck out. But in his next plate appearance in the fourth, Williams got his first major league hit: a double in the gap. He went hitless in his final two appearances finishing the day one-for-four.

Red Sox complete $7 million deal with Duvall, cut Barnes​



327bfe09fd89635af9c83fd9628d0f52

BOSTON – Adam Duvall and the Boston Red Sox finalized their one-year, $7 million contract.

The veteran outfielder can earn another $3 million in performance bonuses based on plate appearances. The sides agreed to terms last week, pending a physical.
To make room for Duvall on the 40-man roster, Boston cut former closer Matt Barnes – an All-Star in 2021 and a key member of the Red Sox bullpen for much of his nine-year career.
In a surprise move, the 32-year-old Barnes was designated for assignment, meaning the team has seven days to trade, release or send him outright to the minors. The right-handed reliever has more than $10.6 million remaining on his contract.

Report: Red Sox acquire shortstop Adalberto Mondesi from Royals

Former Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi reportedly has been traded to Boston, with lefty relief pitcher Josh Taylor -- who missed all of 2022 with back issues -- going back to Kansas City. The Red Sox will also receive a player to be named later.


Since Xander Bogaerts departed for the San Diego Padres and Trevor Story was ruled out indefinitely with elbow surgery, Boston's plans for its middle infield were a mystery.

After signing outfielder Adam Duvall last week, it appeared that Kiké Hernandez would take over at short and Christian Arroyo would play second. That could still be the case, but Mondesi is an intriguing alternative and offers Alex Cora more versatility.


Mondesi, 27, spent the first seven seasons of his career in Kansas City. The switch-hitting shortstop led the league with 10 triples in 2019 and 24 stolen bases in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. From 2018 through 2020, he stole 80 bases despite playing in just 236 of a possible 384 games.

Injuries have been the knock on Mondesi throughout his career. He missed most of last season after suffering a torn ACL in April, and other various injuries hampered him in 2018, 2019 and 2022. Last season, he went 7 for 50 (.140) with three RBIs and five stolen bases in 15 games.
