This is the MiLB Show, right? With the Rafael Devers trade, MiLB Talk discusses some big league baseball. Jake even returns early to join Derrik and Hunter to talk about the whole situation, and the craziness of the last 24 hours. You might not want to hear it, and that’s fair, but the return isn’t completely useless. They discuss Hunter’s trip to Lehigh Valley to watch Worcester. Portland finally has some hitting, and the pitching continues to dominate. Johanfran Garcia is back and made his High-A debut, while Eduardo Rivera and Payton Tolle terrorize hitters. Austin Ehrlicher had his best professional outing in Single-A, and a few hitters show up. Do they go over three hours? Yes. Sorry.

Matt, Brian, Jack, Jason, Jordan, and Bayleigh process the breaking news that star designated hitter Rafael Devers was traded to the San Francisco Giants.

The return? Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison, and two prospects.

This was coming off a SWEEP of the New York Yankees at home to put them a half-game out of the third wild card spot.

Where does the team go from here? What could that plane possibly be like, and does this set the table for more moves? Breslow has earned himself the title of public enemy #1.

Hunter Noll interviews Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher Chris Murphy while he's working his way back to the Major Leagues.

In this interview, Murphy discusses his rehab and how he's become a source for players to bounce ideas off of. He also talks about the places he had to revisit at each pit stop along his rehab.

Murphy also mentions how he's used in different scenarios during his rehab, including coming into a jam and working his way through it.

Later, the left-hander talks about the toughest parts of coming back from elbow surgery, and how it's a slow progression with getting his velocity back.

The MiLB show is back as Hunter and Derrik take the episode without Jake. They have a lot to discuss, as top prospect Roman Anthony has finally gotten the call to the Major Leagues. Brian Van Belle was also promoted to Boston, and they make sure to give him some love. The duo talk about Blaze Jordan’s absurd first week in Triple-A. Could he be a part of the near-future for Boston as well? Miguel Bleis is back to being a legitimate name to pay attention to. The Red Sox have the depth to make some trades, and Bleis could be part of it. This episode somehow staying under three hours is nothing short of a miracle.
