Yankees' Aaron Boone reacts to Boston's stunning trade of Rafael Devers
Yankees' Aaron Boone reacts to Boston's stunning trade of Rafael Devers Show Caption Hide Caption Seattle Mariners' newest player shares promotion with family Cole Young announces his move to the big leagues playing for Seattle Mariners during an emotional phone call with his family. NEW YORK – In one bold move, Rafael Devers was shipped to San Francisco – subtracting a major figure from the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry. Sunday night's stunning trade of Devers to the Giants 'caught the baseball world a little bit off guard," said Yankees manager Aaron Boone. 'But when the dust settles, you're also not stunned, with all the noise around (Devers and the Red Sox) the last couple of months." DEVERS TRADE: Giants steal star from Red Sox in shocking deal Two years after signing a 10-year, $313.5 million extension, Devers' relationship with the Sox began to deteriorate with Boston's signing of free agent third baseman Alex Bregman. Once Devers had settled at designated hitter, the lefty-hitting slugger pushed back on the Sox's request to sub at first base for the injured Triston Casas. Boston management's ham-handed treatment of Devers, culminating in a shocking deal a month-and-change from the MLB trade deadline, came too late to benefit the Yanks this past weekend. Devers homered in Sunday's 2-0 Boston win at Fenway Park, completing a three-game sweep of the visiting Yanks. In his career against the Yankees, Devers owns an .880 OPS with 31 homers in 119 games. 'It's a great player and a big-time athlete in our division, so we'll see how it works out,'' Boone said of the Devers deal. As for the long-term impact of Boston's ability to challenge the Yankees in the AL East, Boone cautioned to 'be careful what you wish for. 'You never know how these things shake out and what it means for either team."

David Ortiz gets knew Red Sox-Rafael Devers relationship ‘wasn't going to end well'
David Ortiz has chimed in on the stunning Rafael Devers trade. The Red Sox legend spoke to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal on Monday, saying the Devers-Red Sox relationship 'wasn't going to end well.' 'I played for the Red Sox a long time,' Ortiz said. 'You think everything with me and the Red Sox was roses and flowers? I went through some tough times also. But I was mature enough to understand and keep things internal. Even in the best families, between the best brothers, s–t happens. You need to have the maturity to resolve the problems and move on.' Advertisement The Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the Giants on Sunday. Getty Images After Devers pushed back against becoming a designated hitter earlier in the season and then refused to play first base, Ortiz said, 'I knew it wasn't going to end well. There was too much going on, you know?' Sunday's surprising trade between Boston and the Giants came after months of drama between the Red Sox and Devers, who had been a third baseman in the past. Advertisement The tensions began when Boston moved the three-time All-Star to DH after signing third baseman Alex Bregman in free agency, and they flared up again when the Red Sox asked Devers to learn to play first base when Triston Casas went down with an injury. Still, MassLive reported that Devers did not formally ask for a trade. David Ortiz said the Red Sox-Rafael Devers relationship 'wasn't going to end well.' AP In return for Devers, the Red Sox received right-hander Jordan Hicks, left-hander Kyle Harrison, outfield prospect James Tibbs III and right-handed pitching prospect Jose Bello. Advertisement 'The organization is always going to be there. Players come and go. As a player, sometimes you've got to put your ego aside and understand that once you get paid, you've got to find a way to do what you're told,' Ortiz said. 'That's a message for all young players who think they turn out to be bigger than the game. I'm not saying that Devers was like that. He's humble. He's a good kid. But sometimes when you're young and immature, you (don't realize that). Advertisement 'I'm not saying the Red Sox did everything right. But you have to give the club the benefit of the doubt. They're not trying to make the organization look bad. They're trying to make good moves that sometimes they don't have the opportunity to explain.' Ortiz, a Hall of Famer and three-time World Series champion, played 14 seasons in Boston after spending the first six with the Twins.
