I don’t know if you heard, but a couple days ago, a fairly major transaction occurred.
The Boston Red Sox, in their infinite wisdom, dealt the face of their franchise to the San Francisco Giants for what many are calling, well, not enough in return.
(which, thanks Red Sox, for bringing yet another heavy hitter into a division that is already filled with them. Us Rockies fans really appreciate it).
In a vacuum, this is just another big trade in a league of pretty consistent big trades.
