The Boston Red Sox are reportedly trading star player Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants as part of a significant deal including pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison, along with prospects James Tibbs and Jose Bello. The Giants will take on his lucrative 10-year, $313.5 million contract. The decision comes after a rocky start to the season for Devers, marked by his reluctance to adapt his role on the team, prompting the Red Sox to move forward without him despite his impressive hitting statistics.
"Per Red Sox sources: the team's feeling was that a $313.5M contract comes with responsibilities to do what is right for the team and that Devers did not live up to those responsibilities."
Amid all of the discourse surrounding his candid comments and his position on the field (or lack thereof), Devers has been one of the most productive hitters in baseball this season, batting .272 with 15 home runs and 58 RBI over 73 games this season.
