Where it stands

The Boston Red Sox have traded shortstop Marcelo Mayer to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for left-handed reliever Erik Miller and outfielder White. The move comes as a surprise, as Mayer was once viewed as a key part of the Red Sox's future. The Red Sox have also added outfield help in the deal.

The trade has sparked differing opinions. CBS Sports suggests the Giants are hoping a change of scenery will benefit Mayer, who was a former top prospect for the Red Sox. The Red Sox, meanwhile, have emphasized that the trade is not an indictment of Mayer's abilities.

The details of the trade have not been fully disclosed. The Red Sox have not specified what prompted the move, nor have they detailed their plans for Miller and White.
