Even after moving on from Rafael Devers, the Red Sox reportedly plan on reinvesting the money saved by Sunday's trade right away.

Those answers finally arrived on Monday night, when Breslow flew to Seattle to meet with the media ahead of his team's series opener against the Mariners. But unfortunately for Boston fans, it probably won't make the last 48 hours or so any easier to understand.

The Red Sox (38–36) have won three straight series for the first time this season, capped by a sweep of the Yankees at Fenway Park on Sunday. They head into Tuesday holding the final wild-card spot (+170 to make the playoffs, per Caesars ), but the roster still has gaps.
