Red Sox trade Marcelo Mayer to Giants for Erik Miller

The Boston Red Sox are trading infielder Marcelo Mayer to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for reliever Erik Miller. This move comes just before the trade deadline, as the Red Sox are looking to reshape their infield after acquiring other players. Mayer, 23, has struggled this season with a.223 batting average and spent time on the injured list. Despite being under club control through 2031, the Red Sox appear to have shifted their long-term plans. Miller, 28, posted a 2.76 ERA this season and is also under club control until 2029. The trade could bolster the Red Sox bullpen as they prepare for the postseason.
