GRAND SLAM: Ceddanne Rafaela Just PROVED He's Become a DIFFERENT Hitter

Ceddanne Rafaela played the hero for the Boston Red Sox, blasting a go-ahead grand slam to account for all of the team's offense. But was it more than just one clutch swing? Gabby Maljanian breaks down Rafaela's remarkable offensive growth since 2024 and explains why the 25-year-old is developing into one of the Red Sox's most complete and valuable players. Plus, Curtis Mead makes his Red Sox debut, only to see his night cut short after being hit by a pitch. What role does Mead have on Boston's roster moving forward, and what does his arrival mean for infielders Anthony Seigler and Andruw Monasterio? Finally, with the trade deadline approaching, should the Red Sox consider moving top infielder Marcelo Mayer in the right deal? Gabby weighs the risks and rewards of potentially trading one of the organization's most talented young players as Boston looks to strengthen its roster for a postseason push.
