Since Barry Bonds’ retirement in 2007, the San Francisco Giants have not had a player hit 30 home runs in a season, but that may change with the acquisition of Rafael Devers from the Red Sox in a blockbuster trade. Devers, a prolific hitter with a .905 OPS and 215 career home runs, is expected to boost a mediocre Giants offense as they chase a playoff spot. However, his defensive position remains uncertain due to roster constraints, and his substantial contract poses a financial risk for the Giants, marking a bold move by new president Buster Posey.
