The Boston Red Sox shocked MLB fans by trading superstar Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, continuing a trend of dealing elite talent, including Mookie Betts and Chris Sale. The returns from these trades have been underwhelming, with Betts thriving with the Dodgers and Sale regaining form with the Braves, while the prospects acquired in these trades have struggled to make an impact. The early evaluation of the Devers trade suggests a light return, with question marks surrounding the potential of the players received, contrasting with Devers’ strong offensive start this season.
