"Marcelo Mayer's new number: Fittingly, the Red Sox appear to be closing out 2025 by officially turning the page on Rafael Devers. The former Boston slugger was notably traded to the Giants in June. His jersey number (No. 11) remained vacant for the remainder of the season. But as of an official update to the team's roster that was noticed on Tuesday, it appears there is a new Red Sox No. 11."
"Marcelo Mayer, one of the top prospects in Boston's system in 2025, is now listed on the Red Sox website as the team's No. 11. Mayer wore No. 39 during his rookie season. Drafted fourth overall by the Red Sox in 2021, Mayer hit .228 with four home runs and a .674 OPS in the first 44 games of his MLB career. Prior to that, he totaled a .271 average with an .818 OPS in 43 games at the triple-A level."
Marcelo Mayer is now listed by the Red Sox as the team's No. 11, taking the jersey vacated when Rafael Devers was traded to the Giants. Mayer wore No. 39 during his rookie season. He was drafted fourth overall in 2021 and hit .228 with four home runs and a .674 OPS in his first 44 MLB games, after hitting .271 with an .818 OPS in 43 triple-A games. Mayer's role in Boston's 2026 lineup remains uncertain, influenced heavily by the free-agent status of third baseman Alex Bregman. Scores and schedules include Celtics, Bruins, Boston Fleet, and Patriots, plus a trivia question about two past Red Sox pitchers who wore No. 11 and threw no-hitters.
