The article discusses the recent trade of Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants, marking a significant shift in the team's core lineup. Previous Red Sox stars Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts have also moved on to the West Coast, with Betts already playing for the Dodgers after his trade in 2020 and Bogaerts signing with the Padres. Betts reacted to Devers' trade, expressing his surprise and acknowledging its impact on the Giants and the NL West division, despite recognizing it would spare him from facing Devers frequently.
"I just thought it was crazy," Betts said postgame of the Devers deal to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. "Nothing really to say, it's just crazy."
"I was shocked and stunned, but I know ... Carita [Dever's nickname], that's going to make their ball team a lot better."
"For me, I don't have to face him; it definitely does help their ball club. It helps any team... Everybody knows what he does."
