Overview

  • Boston sent All-Star third baseman Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on June 15 in exchange for pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison and prospects James Tibbs and Jose Bello.
  • San Francisco agreed to pay Devers’ remaining 10-year, $313.5 million contract, freeing Boston from the financial commitment.
  • The trade stemmed from a dispute that began when Boston signed Alex Bregman in February and escalated after Devers resisted moving from designated hitter to first base.
  • Devers’ departure leaves the Red Sox without any remaining members of their 2018 World Series championship roster.
  • Reports indicate Boston is exploring trade interest in shortstop Trevor Story and outfielder Masataka Yoshida ahead of the July 31 deadline.
