The Opener: Red Sox, Brewers, A's, MLBTR Chat
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Tensions are high between the Red Sox and Brewers after Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff hit Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras, who has been hit 24 times by Brewers pitchers in his career, leading to heated comments from Contreras and Brewers players.
- The Red Sox and Brewers will face off again today at 6:45pm in Boston, featuring a pitching matchup between Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, a near AL Cy Young contender, and Brewers rookie All-Star Jacob Misiorowski.
- The Oakland Athletics plan to select right-hander Joel Kuhnel to their 40-man roster today but must first clear space, likely by designating a player for assignment, as they have limited injured list options currently.
- The A’s roster move is expected before their 7:05pm game against the Yankees in New York, with no clear timeline for injured pitcher Gunnar Hoglund’s return.
