Do you follow the team?  Story is hitting .296 in June with 2 HR and 13 RBI. Still striking out too much.

I agree they didn't want to give Devers that contract.  Now they are out of it.  Meanwhile the actual players seem to think losing Devers is no big deal.  It seems he didn't have a lot of fans in the clubhouse.  My view of him is that he's simple.  Probably an IQ around 85.  Ortiz tried to help him.  I'm not worried about Anthony or trading aging stars away.  They should have traded Xander but Sox fans are so needlessly emotional about those things that they lost him for nothing.  I have believed for decades that the MLB union contract results in many players who should be DFA taking up roster spots while better players are in the minors.  It's utterly broken.  The days of Rice, Yaz and Pedroia being on one team their whole careers is over.

Hicks has a strong track record as a reliever, which is what he will be doing. He was a lousy starter.  He can help.
