It's April 6th, from the locker room to your ears. This is Boston Red Sox News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. James Tibbs III just got named Pacific Coast League player of the week after tearing it up in his first nine games with the AAA Oklahoma. City Comics, the Dodgers Top Farm Club. This outfielder is slashing 0.474 over 0.535 slash 1.184, thanks to 7 homers and 13 RBIs. In just 38 at bats. His path here is wild. He was the 13th overall pick by the Giants in the 2024 draft, then flipped to the Red Sox in the Rafael Divers deal last June. Less than two months later, Boston shipped him and another prospect to the Dodgers for pitcher Dustin May, who they let walk in free agency this. Winter. Red Sox fans know his name all too well, and now he's proving why he was a first-round steal. Making Boston look short-sighted on that quick turnaround.

The Dodgers outfielder stack with Teoscar Hernandez, Kyle Tucker, and Andy Pages, so even with Mookie Bet sidelined by a back injury, they called. Up in Fuser Highson Kim, instead of Tibbs. Meanwhile, the other guy from that deal, Zach Earhard, is hitting 0.280 with solid power down there too, tilting this trade even more in. L.A. Spaver looks like Tibbs, sticks around the shine.
