Tyrese Haliburton hobbled through Game 5, Pacers need more in Game 6 to keep season alive

OKLAHOMA CITY — Tyrese Haliburton is going to play in Game 6.

"It's the Finals, man," Haliburton said. "I've worked my whole life to be here and I want to be out there to compete. Help my teammates any way I can."

If Indiana is going to win that game and give itself a chance in a Game 7, it will need more from the orchestrator of its offense than it got Monday night: four points on 0-of-6 shooting, seven rebounds and six assists with three turnovers. While Pascal Siakam and T.J. McConnell had great games to keep the Pacers within striking distance of the Thunder, the Pacers could not get over the hump without a burst from Haliburton.

"I was not great tonight by any means, but it's not really a thought of mine to not play [in Game 6]," Haliburton said. "If I can walk, then I want to play. They understand that. And it is what it is. Got to be ready to go for Game 6."

Haliburton was slowed after he tweaked his left calf, which was reported during the broadcast as "calf tightness," and he said postgame that the issue was in the same area that had him limping slightly after Game 2. Haliburton slipped on a first-quarter drive and appeared to aggravate that calf injury. He left the game, went back to the locker room, but returned to the game about five minutes later and played 34 minutes.

However, Haliburton wasn't the same after aggravation. While he moved fairly well, he could not push off and accelerate a drive with that leg the rest of the night. By the fourth quarter, Alex Caruso started to shade his coverage, forcing Haliburton in a direction where he could not accelerate enough to get separation.

If this were the regular season, Haliburton likely would miss a game or two as a precaution, just because aggravated calf issues can lead to much worse injuries if the muscle is weakened. But this is the NBA Finals, the calculations are different.

"He's not a hundred percent. It's pretty clear," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "But I don't think he's going to miss the next game. We were concerned at halftime, and he insisted on playing. I thought he made a lot of really good things happen in the second half. But he's not a hundred percent."

Carisle also said the Pacers' medical team would evaluate how Haliburton is feeling Tuesday morning. However, Haliburton was not limping when walking around postgame, a very good sign with a couple of days off and plenty of time to get treatment.

His teammates know they can count on Haliburton.

"He's a fighter. He's been our rock all year," Pascal Siakam said. "He's a big reason why we're here. I don't know exactly what's wrong, but I know he's fighting and he's going to give us everything he's got. We are a hundred percent behind him and we support him.

"I think one thing he showed, his resiliency. He showed that all year. I think that we can continue to count on him to keep fighting. I admire that from him, just because I know that it's hard. We've got a couple of days. Take care of our bodies, rest well and be ready for Game 6."

The Pacers will need that resiliency in Game 6, because their season is on the line.

First Six Players Named For Each Nation, New 2026 Olympic Betting Odds

First six players from each participating nation revealed for Men's Ice Hockey at 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy

Image

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina have gotten more interesting in the last few days as several nations participating in the Ice Hockey event revealed the first six players on their rosters with some of the biggest names in the sport like Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and Sidney Crosby. 

Officially known as the Milano Cortina 2026, the Olympic games will be hosted in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, from February 6 to 22 with NHL players returning to Olympic ice for the first time since the Four Nations Face-Off this past February. The men’s hockey tournament promises to be one of the premier events of the Games.

Early betting odds have already been posted for the event with Canada leading the pack at +150 with Team USA trailing behind in second with +200 odds. 

FanDuel's Current Betting Odds for the Gold Medal:

1. Canada (+150)

2. USA (+200)

3. Sweden (+550)

4. Finland (+750)

5. Czechia (+1400)

6. Switzerland (+5000)

7. Slovakia (+5000)

8. Germany (+5000)

9. Latvia (+14000)

10. Denmark (+14000)

11. Italy (+25000)

12. France (+25000)

Canada (+150)

Canada enters the 2026 Olympics as the clear favorite, led by stars Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Brayden Point, and Sam Reinhart. With Jordan Binnington likely to regain the crease after a stellar Four Nations Face-Off, he can add to this powerhouse team looks poised to take gold. Anything less would be a major disappointment.

Team USA (+200)

The United States is ready to make a serious run at gold in 2026 with one of the deepest rosters it has ever assembled. Newly announced names include Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, Matthew and Brady Tkachuk, Quinn Hughes, and Charlie McAvoy, culminating in a fast, physical, and skilled core. With Connor Hellebuyck likely in goal and Adam Fox anchoring the blue line, Team USA looks built to finally end its Olympic gold drought dating back to 1980.

Sweden (+550)

Sweden’s 2026 Olympic roster is already shaping up to be a contender, with newly announced names including William Nylander, Adrian Kempe, Lucas Raymond, Victor Hedman, Rasmus Dahlin, and Gabriel Landeskog. The mix of veteran leadership and dynamic youth gives Sweden a well-rounded attack, and if goaltending holds up behind a strong blue line, the Tre Kronor have the pieces to push for gold.

Finland (+750)

Finland enters the 2026 Olympics once again as a disciplined, defensively sound contender with a roster built on structure and selflessness. Newly announced players include Aleksander Barkov, Sebastian Aho, Mikko Rantanen, Esa Lindell, Miro Heiskanen, and Juuse Saros, giving the Finns a balanced attack, a mobile blue line, and elite goaltending. With their 2022 Olympic gold still fresh, Finland remains a serious threat.

Czechia (+1400)

Czechia has added David Pastrnak, Martin Nečas, Pavel Zacha, Ondrej Palát, Lukas Dostal, and Radko Gudas to its Olympic roster, injecting scoring, grit, and experience across all positions. Pastrnak and Nečas lead the offense, with Zacha and Palát adding depth and versatility. Gudas shores up the blue line, while Dostal joins Petr Mrázek and Karel Vejmelka in net.

Tomas Hertl’s status remains uncertain due to injury, leaving a key hole up front. While not favorites, Czechia’s growing roster gives them real upset potential.

Switzerland (+5000)

Switzerland has named Roman Josi, Nico Hischier, Kevin Fiala, Nino Niederreiter, Timo Meier, and Jonas Siegenthaler to its Olympic roster, adding star power across the lineup. Josi anchors the defense, while Hischier, Fiala, and Meier lead a skilled forward group. Depth remains a question, but with this core, Switzerland is well-positioned to challenge for a quarterfinal upset.

Slovakia (+5000)

Slovakia has announced six key names to its Olympic roster: Simon Nemec, Juraj Slafkovsky, Erik Cernak, Martin Pospisil, Tomas Tatar and Martin Fehérváry, blending youth, size and experience. Slafkovsky will be a focal point of the offense, with Tatar offering veteran leadership and Pospisil bringing a physical edge. On defense, Nemec, Cernak and Fehérváry form a promising core. Goaltending and depth remain concerns, but Slovakia’s grit and emerging talent make them a tough out.

Germany (+5000)

Germany has announced six players to its Olympic roster: Leon Draisaitl, Tim Stützle, Moritz Seider, Lukas Reichel, Nico Sturm, and Philipp Grubauer, highlighting a talented and balanced team. 

Draisaitl remains one of the world’s best players, with Stützle adding dynamic offensive skill. Seider and Reichel strengthen the lineup, while Grubauer provides key goaltending experience. Building on their 2018 silver medal, Germany has a real chance to shock hockey fans and match or surpass that success.

Latvia (+14000)

Latvia has announced six players to its Olympic roster: Elvis Merzlikins, Arturs Silovs, Uvis Balinskis, Teddy Blugers, Zemgus Girgensons, and Rodrigo Abols, building on their surprising bronze medal at the 2023 IIHF World Championship. While they may lack NHL star power, Merzlikins provides strong goaltending, and Balcers leads an experienced, physical, and disciplined team that is never an easy opponent.

Denmark (+14000)

Denmark has announced six players to its Olympic roster: Nikolaj Ehlers, Lars Eller, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Frederik Andersen, Jonas Røndbjerg, and Jesper Jensen Aabo. Ehlers and Bjorkstrand lead a skilled offense, while Andersen provides reliable goaltending. Despite their talent, limited depth may prevent Denmark from advancing beyond the group stage.

Italy (+25000)

Italy has announced six players to its Olympic roster: Thomas Larkin, Diego Kostner, Luca Zanatta, Tommy Purdeller, Damian Clara, and Daniel Mantenuto. As co-hosts, they’ll be motivated to put on a respectable showing. While the talent gap remains significant, home-ice energy and contributions from experienced dual-national players like Kostner could help Italy stay competitive in a game or two.

France (+25000)

France has announced six players to its Olympic roster: Alexandre Texier, Pierre-Édouard Bellemare, Jordan Perret, Yohann Auvitu, Hugo Gallet, and Jules Boscq. Texier and Bellemare bring valuable NHL experience, but overall depth and defensive consistency remain concerns. As underdogs, France will focus on gaining experience and continuing to grow as a hockey nation.

Sabalenka writes apology to Gauff for ‘unprofessional’ comments after French Open final loss

  • World No 1 downplayed American’s victory

  • Sabalenka says she did not intend to attack opponent

Aryna Sabalenka says she has written to Coco Gauff to apologise for the “unprofessional” comments she made after her loss to the American in the final of the French Open.

Speaking to Eurosport Germany, Sabalenka said her remarks after her defeat by Gauff at Roland Garros this month were a mistake. In her post-match press conference in Paris, Sabalenka had suggested that the result was more due to her own errors than to Gauff’s performance.

Blackhawks, Mammoth Open To Trading Their Picks; What That Tells Us About Islanders & Sharks Upcoming Selections

According to Frank Seravalli, the Chicago Blackhawks are open to moving the third overall pick in the upcoming 2025 NHL Draft. This provides a bit of insight into what the Blackhawks think will happen with the New York Islanders at No. 1 and the San Jose Sharks at No. 2. 

Prior to the 2025 NHL Draft Combine, it seemed like there were a few players who the Islanders could take with th first pick. After leaving the 2025 Draft Combine, 17-year-old defenseman Matthew Schaefer seemed to separate himself from the pack with his interviews. 

Additionally, forward Michael Misa told his roommate Malcolm Spence at the combine that he'd love to go to San Jose, which suggests that Misa knows he's not going No. 1. 

Looking at the Blackhawk's prospect pool, even after drafting defenseman Artyom Levshunov second overall in 2024, it's clear they had an interest in Schaefer, given that he's the best blue-liner in the draft. 

The second-best defenseman is Radim Mrka, who could go anywhere from fifth overall to the mid-teens.  Maybe Chicago's goal is to trade back and snag him. Then again, they have bolstered their blue line, so, as Blackhawks writer for Bleacher Nation and The Fourth Period, Tab Bradford shared that Chicago is looking for scoring. 

That ties into the next point. 

What's left out of that initial tweet is that Seravalli also said that the Utah Mammoth are also fielding calls on the fourth overall pick. 

We know, from conversations at the combine, that Utah is very high on Brady Martin, who is projected to go at No. 6 to the Philadelphia Flyers, per Craig Button's latest mock draft:

Long Island native James Hagens continues to be disrespected in these mock drafts, as his stock, at least amongst the collective media, seems to fall a bit every day even though he was the consensus No. 1 pick for a few years. 

However, if this mock draft and others are on the money or in the ballpark of what the lottery team general managers are thinking, the farther Hagens falls, the more likely it is that the Islanders trade back into the draft to grab the Hauppauge native. 

I wrote about this the other day. The Islanders, at least I don't think, will be making a pre-draft trade to get back into the first round.  After drafting Schaefer, if that's truly their intended route, they'll see how the rest of the draft plays out after the second pick and go from there. 

If general manager Mathieu Darche believes that Hagens should be an Islander and a lane that makes sense opens up, I wouldn't be shocked if he pulled the trigger. But, it has to be a deal that makes sense. 

The Islanders, The 2025 NHL Draft & The Trade ConversationThe Islanders, The 2025 NHL Draft & The Trade ConversationThe 2025 NHL Draft is just two weeks away. The New York Islanders have the first overall pick for the first time since 2009, and there is a chance they add more than one stud to their roster. It's possible that the Islanders could have two picks in the top five if they trade back into the first round to draft Long Island native James Hagens.

The question is, with a few teams now being vocal about moving their pick, a pre-draft trade not involving the Islanders may make things more complicated when it comes to bringing Hagens home. 

I believe there are many teams looking to move up in the draft to select Hagens, which would put a wrinkle in potential plans.

Again, we have no idea how much Darche values Hagens. 

Chicago, like any team looking to move a top-five pick, is seeking specifics in returns — a difference-maker. They should take Anton Frondell, an Aleksander Barkov type, but hey, to each their own. 

Who do the Islanders have that could be a difference maker for a Blackhawks or Utah team?

Immediately, you think of Noah Dobson, a restricted free-agent defenseman who could command north of $9 million -- my prediction is $9.15 million on a long-term deal -- as a difference maker. 

I think another underrated difference maker that the Islanders have is forward Simon Holmstrom, who is also a restricted free agent. He'll command between $3-$4 million. I think it would be a mistake to move on from the Swedish forward, as I think he's only going to get better.

Given his defensive game and his overall growth in his offensive game, Holmstrom has proven to be a top-six forward at just 24 years old. It would be a mistake to move on from him, but we know Utah is looking for top-six help for pick No. 4. 

If it meant getting Hagens, would you move Dobson to Chicago or Holmstrom to Utah?

Could defenseman Alexander Romanov be in play? What about Maxim Tsyplakov?

To be honest, I'm not so sure the Islanders should move. My mindset is that if you can trade a pick or a prospect for a proven NHLer -- of course, not the first overall pick -- you do it nine times out of 10. 

I am pretty high on Hagens, and I think he's going to be a fantastic player in this league, but there's certainly risk involved, especially if the Islanders are moving on from a No. 2 defenseman or a young, controllable top-six winger -- the Islanders lack depth at the wing position. 

The NHL Draft begins on July 27 in Los Angeles.

Sixers draft profile: Kon Knueppel's jumper and craft could go a long way in NBA

Sixers draft profile: Kon Knueppel's jumper and craft could go a long way in NBA originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

A scouting report on NBA draft prospect Kon Knueppel: 

  • Position: Wing  
  • Height: 6-foot-5 (without shoes) 
  • Weight: 219 pounds 
  • College: Duke 

Strengths 

Knueppel is an undeniably great shooter. He has an excellent base, always aligns his shoulders toward the rim and makes open jumpers look quite easy. 

The 19-year-old shot 40.6 percent from three-point range in his one Duke season and hit 117 of 128 free throws (91.4 percent). He averaged 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists. 

Knueppel’s passing is a significant plus. He thrived with center Khaman Maluach in the pick-and-roll, spotted open teammates on the weak side, and dished the ball with nice touch and timing. And, while it’s impossible to quantify, Knueppel seems to possess a strong blend of correctly anticipating what defenses will do and reading the action as it unfolds.

Knueppel has decent size for an NBA shooting guard and he’s savvy about shielding off defenders, playing through contact and drawing fouls. 

Though he won’t soar over defenders, Knueppel is good off of two feet in the mid-range and paint. He uses subtle fakes, changes of pace and sharp footwork. 

Jeff Hornacek might not be a bad old-school player comparison for Knueppel as a sharpshooting, below-the-rim two-guard with useful passing and ball handling chops. In an era with far fewer three-point attempts, Hornacek shot 40.3 percent beyond the arc over his NBA career and averaged 14.5 points, 4.9 assists and 3.4 rebounds. 

Weaknesses 

Knueppel does not have a “turn on the jets” option.

He’s widely viewed as subpar in the athleticism department for a top NBA prospect. Knueppel rarely beats his man through quickness or leaping ability.

He was a sound, competitive defensive player at Duke, but NBA offenses hunt mismatches, especially in the playoffs, and Knueppel will need to show that he’s not a weak link.

For what it’s worth, Knueppel’s athletic testing results at the draft combine were a mixed bag. His 31.5-inch standing vertical leap was surprisingly higher than VJ Edgecombe’s. His lane agility time of 11.92 seconds was the worst among perimeter players. 

Fit 

As long as he’s passable defensively, Knueppel’s game should be broadly appealing. He’s a fantastic shooter and also not a mere specialist. 

Most of the Sixers’ stats from the injury-stuffed 2024-25 season mean little, but we’ll note that the team’s 34.1 three-point shooting percentage ranked 27th in the NBA. Knueppel would presumably help there and be a smooth overall fit offensively. Defensively, we imagine Sixers head coach Nick Nurse would approve of Knueppel’s effort while still asking him to prove he can hold his own as a professional. 

On a lighter note, Knueppel already knows all about Brotherly Love. He has four younger brothers — Kager, Kinston, Kash and Kid.

Celtics draft fits: How 7-footer Maxime Raynaud can bolster Boston's frontcourt

Celtics draft fits: How 7-footer Maxime Raynaud can bolster Boston's frontcourt originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

It’s no secret the Boston Celtics could use more frontcourt depth heading into the 2025-26 NBA season.

Veteran centers Al Horford and Luke Kornet are both able to become unrestricted free agents next month. Star center Kristaps Porzingis is entering the final year of his contract. Xavier Tillman Sr. wasn’t able to make much of an impact in his first full season with the Celtics.

Adding youth, size and outside shooting to this group would be a smart move this offseason. Perhaps the best place to find that talent is the 2025 NBA Draft later this month.

More Celtics Draft Fits:

The Celtics own the No. 28 overall pick in the first round and the second pick (No. 32 overall) in the second round of the upcoming draft.

One player in the 2025 draft class who can add size, 3-point shooting and rebounding to Boston’s frontcourt is Stanford center Maxime Raynaud.

Learn more about Raynaud and his potential fit with the C’s below:

Maxime Raynaud’s bio

  • Position: Power forward/Center
  • Height: 7-foot-1
  • Weight: 250 pounds
  • Birthdate: April 7, 2003
  • Birthplace: Paris, France
  • College: Stanford

Maxime Raynaud’s collegiate stats

  • 2024-25: 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 46.7 field goal percentage (35 games)
  • 2023-24: 15.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 56.7 field goal percentage (32 games)
  • 2022-23: 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 54.0 field goal percentage (33 games)
  • 2021-22: 4.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 54.1 field goal percentage (29 games)

Maxime Raynaud’s college accolades

  • 2025 All-ACC first team
  • 2025 ACC Scholar Athlete of the Year
  • 2024 All-Pac 12 second team
  • 2024 Pac 12 Most Improved Player of the Year

Maxime Raynaud’s highlights

Why Maxime Raynaud fits with Celtics

Raynaud can score. He averaged 15.5 points as a junior and improved to a career-high 20.2 points per game as a senior. One of the reasons for that jump was he shot 34.7 percent on a career-high 5.5 3-point attempts per game.

In fact, his points and rebounds per game improved in each of the last three years. Raynaud isn’t super physical, but he’s a very good rebounder and showed some decent rim protection as a senior with a career-high 1.4 blocks per game.

Our Celtics insider Chris Forsberg likes Raynaud’s outside shooting, but notes there are some concerns about his defense at the next level.

“French 7-footers are all the rave in the NBA, and this one improved in each of his four seasons at Stanford,” Forsberg said, as seen in the video player above. “Offensively, he thrives at attacking closeouts. Can he hit 3-pointers? Oui, oui. Raynaud shot 35 percent from beyond the arc as a senior.

“There are questions about whether he’ll fit defensively at the NBA level, and he’s going to have to improve his foot speed to stay on the court. Still, he could fall in the range the Celtics are scheduled to pick at No. 28 and No. 32.”

A New Center Who Could Interest The Canadiens Is Reportedly On The Market

While Kent Hughes would like to bolster his top-six with a new second line center this offseason, there are much more buyers than sellers out there and it may prove to be a tricky endeavour. However, according to The Athletic’s Arthur Staple a divorce between the New York Rangers and Swedish center Mike Zibanejad would be imminent.

While the 6-foot-two- and 203-pound pivot has spent much of the season centering the third-line behind Vincent Trotcheck and J.T. Miller, he could still play a second-line center role, especially with gifted teammates on his wings.

Could The Canadiens Take A Big Swing On Mason West?
Canadiens: Should Hughes Consider Making An Offer To A Former Pest?
Canadiens: St-Louis Speaks About Cole Caufield, And Arber Xhekaj

In the last four seasons, the 32-year-old has only missed a couple of games, and recorded 81, 91, 72 and 62 points. While there was a sharp decrease in production this past season, it was the case for most of the Rangers players as the Blueshirts had their worst season for quite some time, even missing the playoffs for the first time in four years.

It was Jeff Gorton who traded for Zibanejad with the Ottawa Senators back in July 2016 sending Derrick Brassard and a 2018 seventh-round pick to the Sens in return for the Swede and a 2018 second-round pick.

The center will start the fourth year of an eight-year deal with an $8.5 M cap hit, meaning he’s signed through the end of the 2029-30 season, but he does have a no move clause, meaning he’s fully in charge of his destiny. Even if the player wants to leave New York, it doesn’t mean he’d be willing to go anywhere. He did however play the first five-years of his career in Ottawa, after the Sens had drafted him sixth overall at the 2011 draft, so the rough winters and the high tax rates wouldn’t come as a surprise to him.

With the cap set to go up for the next few years, the Montreal Canadiens could probably handle Zibanejad’s cap hit, but they may not get the best value for money in the last few years of his deal. However, we’ve seen Martin St-Louis convert veterans in effective role players in the past and give them a new lease of life so to speak, Josh Anderson and Brendan Gallagher have both look rejuvenated this past season.

On top of being a real top-six option, the centerman also plays on the first power play and penalty kill units in New York and is as versatile as they come. He could make up for the loss of Joel Armia and Christian Dvorak if Hughes let them walk. Both players featured on the Habs PK and it could be hard to replace them with rookies or by captain Nick Suzuki who benefited from focusing more on attacking missions this last year.

Of course, getting an aging center might not be Hughes’ plan A, he would more than likely rather be able to land someone like Mason McTavish, but that might prove impossible with the market being what it is this season.

Pacers and Oilers looking to give NBA and NHL fans a rare pair of Game 7s

Pacers and Oilers looking to give NBA and NHL fans a rare pair of Game 7s originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

The greatest two words in sports are “Game 7,” but fans could be in for three even better words this year: two Game 7s.

The NBA Finals and NHL’s Stanley Cup Final are both heading into Game 6 this week with teams on the cusp of a championship.

In the NBA, the Thunder hold a 3-2 series lead over the Indiana Pacers after winning Game 5 in Oklahoma City on Monday. In the NHL, the Florida Panthers hold a 3-2 advantage over the Edmonton Oilers with a chance to repeat as champions on home ice Tuesday night.

There have been dozens of Game 7s between the two leagues over the last 80 years, but they have rarely coincided in the same year.

With both championship series on the verge of going the distance, let’s look back at the times where the NBA and NHL have seen their titles decided by a Game 7 in the same year.

How many times have the NBA and NHL had championship Game 7s in the same year?

The NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Final have only had a Game 7 in the same year twice.

The first came in 1954. The Minneapolis Lakers won Game 7 on their home court on April 12 with a 87-80 victory over the Syracuse Nationals to win the NBA title. Four days later, Tony Leswick scored an overtime winner for the Detroit Red Wings in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Montreal Canadiens.

The only other NBA-NHL Game 7 crossover came in 1994. The New York Rangers lifted the Stanley Cup after defeating the Vancouver Canucks in a Game 7 at Madison Square Garden on June 14. The NBA Finals wrapped up on June 22 when the Houston Rockets earned a Game 7 victory over the Rangers’ MSG co-tenants, the New York Knicks, although that deciding game was played in Texas.

NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Final Game 7 schedule

Should the Pacers and Oilers win their respective Game 6s, the NBA and NHL championships would be decided within two days of each other.

If necessary, Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final would be slated for Friday, June 20, in Edmonton, while Game 7 of the NBA Finals would be scheduled for Sunday, June 22, in Oklahoma City.

Giants' Devers trade receives mixed reviews from MLB execs, scouts

Giants' Devers trade receives mixed reviews from MLB execs, scouts originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Many executives from around the MLB had mixed reactions to the Giants’ shocking trade with the Boston Red Sox for slugger Rafael Devers.

The trade provided San Francisco with a serious offensive upgrade, but many American League scouts were less than enthused about the Giants picking up such a hefty contract.

“The ‘Hey, since we can’t get a good deal on a free agent, let’s get a questionable one so that we have one’ logic is suspect to me,” an AL executive told The Athletic. “(The) Red Sox unloaded an arguably underwater contract of a disgruntled DH for a whole lot of value. They did good. Really good. I am not happy.”

After months of offensive struggles, San Francisco president of baseball operations Buster Posey decided it was time for a big shakeup, sending pitchers Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison and prospects James Tibbs III and Jose Bello to Boston.

The Devers trade gives the Giants a legitimate home run threat, though the team will take on the remainder of his massive 10-year, $313.5 million contract that he signed in January of 2023.

“Is it possible to not like this for either side?” an AL evaluator said to The Athletic. “San Francisco is taking on an awful contract that will age poorly, while Boston has to move on from a homegrown star because they mangled the relationship.”

With San Francisco expected to pay more than $250 million remaining on the Devers contract, the franchise is hoping his clutch power hitting can make an immediate difference. While the Giants have had a great start to the year, to keep pace with the Los Angeles Dodgers, another power bat was needed.

“Buster is in it to win it. He said he was getting a bat, (and) he did,” an AL scout told The Athletic. “Boston did the best they could. But the fact that they are in this position is mind-boggling. I hope they fall hard. A club like that should not be in the business of trading stars on a habitual level. Do they just love drama?”

The 28-year-old hit .272 with 15 home runs and 58 RBI in 73 games for the Red Sox during the 2025 MLB season and is expected to be the designated hitter for the Giants.

Devers was one of the key pieces to Boston’s 2018 World Series championship team, but dysfunction within the organization paved the way for the Red Sox to ship him to the West Coast.

With Devers set to make his Giants debut against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday at Oracle Park, it won’t be immediately apparent who won the trade. Still, Posey and the San Francisco front office believe he is the missing piece that will unlock a deep playoff run this season and beyond.

How Devers said goodbye to Red Sox after stunning Giants trade

How Devers said goodbye to Red Sox after stunning Giants trade originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

  • Editor’s Note: Watch Rafael Devers’ Giants introductory press conference from Oracle Park at 2:30 p.m. PT on NBC Sports Bay Area and streaming here.

Rafael Devers did not have much time to say goodbye to his Boston Red Sox teammates and coaches after he found out he was traded to the Giants in a stunning blockbuster move.

In fact, Devers found out as the team boarded a plane to Seattle on Sunday before the team pulled him off the flight.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora spoke to reporters on Monday and revealed what took place during Devers’ final moments with the team after he found out about the trade.

“He shook our hands and took off,” Cora said. (h/t MassLive’s Christopher Smith)

Devers spent eight-plus seasons with the Red Sox and established himself as a beloved franchise icon before the shocking trade to San Francisco. However, the 28-year-old’s relationship with the team soured this season after he was asked to transition from third base to designated hitter, and then to first base, which he reportedly refused.

“There’s some reasons that it didn’t work out, right?” Cora added. “And I don’t want to pinpoint stuff, whatever. But the last few months hasn’t been easy, right? We made decisions in the offseason. Circumstances have changed the last month. And that’s a decision we made as an organization. Now Raffy’s gonna be with the Giants. And like I said, we have to turn the page and be ready for this team.

“Obviously the guy means so much to that group. He means so much to the organization, to the city of Boston. I’m not gonna hide it. But at the same time, we gotta show up. We’re playing good baseball.”

Cora took to Instagram to share one final parting message for Devers, a player he grew close with over the years.

Devers now will begin the next chapter of his already impressive MLB career with the Giants, and could make his San Francisco debut as soon as Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians at Oracle Park before his former team comes to town for a three-game series beginning Friday.
