The Boston Red Sox shocked the entire league when they traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants last season, but one of the players they got in return, James Tibbs III, is having a phenomenal season.
Unfortunately, Tibbs is thriving in a different organization. The Red Sox traded Tibbs to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the deal that brought Dustin May to Boston. May had a 5.40 ERA in six games with the Red Sox and suffered an elbow injury. He is now on the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Red Sox may be regretting trading Tibbs.
Tibbs has been with Triple-A Oklahoma City and currently leads all minor league players in home runs with 10. He also has 22 RBIs, which is tied for the sixth most in the minor leagues and fourth most in Triple-A.
In 30 games with the Red Sox in Double-A, Tibbs hit .207 with a .586 OPS. However, with the Dodgers organization, he has done nothing but produce at the plate. In 36 games in Double-A with the Dodgers last season, he had a .900 OPS and seven home runs. This season, he has a .293/.389/.717 slash line.
