The Boston Red Sox recently traded All-Star third baseman Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, sparking disappointment among fans and media who feel the return on the trade seems underwhelming. However, some MLB executives believe the Red Sox made a savvy move, highlighting the acquisition of players with potential and the financial relief from Devers’ hefty contract, which had eight years and approximately $254 million remaining. The ultimate success of the trade will depend on how effectively the Red Sox utilize the newfound financial flexibility to improve their roster.
