The baseball community is abuzz following Rafael Devers’ trade to the San Francisco Giants, primarily due to his strained relationship with the Boston Red Sox over position changes. The Sox felt Devers, despite his franchise-record $313.5MM contract, was not meeting team expectations and feared his frustrations would negatively impact younger players. In return, Boston received starter Kyle Harrison and two prospects, while emphasizing their commitment to remain competitive in the upcoming season despite the surprising timing of the deal after a successful series.
