Red Sox Make Major Roster Move After Trading Rafael Devers to Giants
Red Sox Make Major Roster Move After Trading Rafael Devers to Giants originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox have been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the past week—winning five straight games, seven of their last eight, and capping it off with a sweep of the New York Yankees on Sunday. Advertisement Now sitting above .500 for the first time in over a month, the team made a stunning move by trading three-time All-Star and longest-tenured Red Sox, Rafael Devers, to the San Francisco Giants. In return, Boston received pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison, along with minor league prospects James Tibbs III and Jose Bello. Roughly an hour after MLB insiders broke the news, the Red Sox and Giants made the deal official. Shortly after, Boston made a somewhat surprising roster decision by optioning Harrison—who had made eight appearances and four starts for the Giants this season—to Triple-A Worcester. They also designated left-handed pitcher Zach Penrod for assignment. Penrod has made seven appearances for the Red Sox this season, posting a 2.25 ERA across 4.0 innings pitched. Advertisement After Sunday's victory, Boston is now 37-36 overall and sits fourth in the AL East. However, they remain just 6.5 games out of first place in the division and only half a game out of an AL Wild Card spot. That makes the decision to trade Devers all the more surprising, given he's been one of their best bats this season. Former Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers (11)Dale Zanine-Imagn Images Fans quickly reacted to the Red Sox's roster moves following the unpopular decision to trade Rafael Devers. "This may be the worst trade of all time," a fan said. Another fan posted, "This might actually be worse than the Mookie trade & I didn't think that was possible." Advertisement Someone else added, "Entire front office needs to be fired tomorrow." One more fan commented, "So you [explicit] optioned the only asset you got back."

The drama behind Red Sox trading Rafael Devers in shocking blockbuster: ‘They had enough'
The fallout from the Red Sox's shocking decision to trade Rafael Devers to the Giants continues. Shortly after Boston shipped their $313 million star to San Francisco on Sunday for Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison and a pair of prospects, The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham reported fraying relations between the club and Devers, suggesting the Red Sox 'had enough.' '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,' Abraham wrote on Bluesky. Advertisement 'They had enough and they traded him.' Rafael Devers refused to play first base after they signed Alex Bregman. Getty Images The move followed a rocky few months between the Red Sox and Devers, who had previously balked at the idea of switching from third base and becoming a designated hitter after the team signed Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract in February. Advertisement The spring training drama then carried over to the regular season, when Devers, 28, shut down a first base move after Triston Casas suffered a season-ending injury. Devers, who has struggled defensively in his career, put up strong numbers for the Red Sox with a 1.004 OPS since the beginning of May (sixth-best). Even with that bright spot, Devers — in the third year of a $313.5 million contract with Boston — fueled further buzz this month after he appeared not to run out for a ground ball against the Yankees. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said afterward it 'wasn't lack of hustle.' Advertisement Alex Cora and Rafael Devers have had a rocky relationship. AP With Sunday's trade, Devers now gets a fresh start with the Giants, who will pay out the rest of the deal. The Red Sox also received prospects James Tibbs and Jose Bello in the move. San Francisco is currently second in the NL West at 41-31. Advertisement The Red Sox, who climbed to 37-36 on Sunday after sweeping the Yankees in three, are now just 6.5 games back from first place in the AL East. The dust of the Devers trade has far from settled in New England, with fans fuming over the move and even floating bizarre conspiracy theories linked to a Premier League soccer club.
