Mike Yastrzemski provided emotional support to Kyle Harrison after his trade from the Giants to the Red Sox for Rafael Devers. Yastrzemski, who has Boston roots, empathized with Harrison’s feelings of uncertainty after leaving the organization he idolized as a child. Harrison, who made his MLB debut in 2023 and had recently transitioned to the Giants' starting rotation, expressed shock at the abrupt nature of the trade but remained excited about the opportunity with the Red Sox.
When you leave your first organization, you don't know what to expect, especially when you grew up right here and this is the organization you grew up idolizing.
I just told him if he ever needs anything up that way, I've got friends and family, and he'll never be feeling like he's by himself out there.
Just crazy. They're like, can you go talk to the manager real quick? The first moment, I was like, Man, why are they bugging me?
Excited to be here, and I was stoked about the opportunity.
