The Boston Red Sox made significant moves at the 2026 trade deadline, including trading former top prospect Marcelo Mayer to the Giants for reliever Erik Miller and acquiring catcher Adley Rutschman from the Orioles. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow addressed rumors of off-field issues between Mayer and teammate Roman Anthony, asserting there were none and emphasizing the trade was purely a strategic decision to strengthen the bullpen. Both players were regarded positively, and Breslow expects Mayer to have a successful Major League career. Currently, Anthony is recovering from an injury, while Mayer has joined San Francisco, and Kristian Campbell is back in Triple-A.
