Eloy Jimenez, the White Sox prospect who homered on Friday after predicting one earlier in the day, knows exactly what he wants out of his career. Honestly, all that I want is to reach the Majors and be an elite player, one of the best of the best, Jimenez said through an interpreter on Friday afternoon.

Teams can still trade in August after the July 31 trade deadline, there is just more red tape and paperwork to deal with first. August's major hurdle to deals — waivers — has been cleared by Tigers starter Justin Verlander, thanks to the $56 million still owed him over the next two seasons. That means Verlander can be traded to any team in the league, and according to MLB's Jon Morosi, the Astros are hoping they're that team. The Astros didn't believe they needed another starter before July 31, in large part due to the imminent return of Dallas Keuchel to the rotation meaning they felt they had enough starters around. However, in the week since then, Lance McCullers has not made progress with Continue to Article

Heck, Devers can’t even believe it. “I didn't think it would be this good,” Devers said. “But at the same time I put in the work and worked so hard to get good results and I think that's what we're seeing.” The third baseman knocked a two-run homer into the Monster seats in Thursday’s 9-5 win over the White Sox, an easy opposite field shot for the 20-year-old.

BOSTON — When it comes to Red Sox prospects, a four-game series with the White Sox that started Thursday at Fenway Park will highlight two: the one who got away and the one who stayed. Except, if we’re being fair, it’s a big stretch to say Yoan Moncada got away. He was dealt as part of a package for a pitcher angling toward a Cy Young award, Chris Sale. But Moncada’s not exactly going to be forgotten by the fan base, even as Rafael Devers thrives for the Red Sox. “I feel happy for [Devers] because I know that he’s a very good player and I really believe that he’s going to have a very long career in the majors because he’s a very, very talented player,” Moncada said Thursday through a translator.
