Overview
- Millar told the Foul Territory podcast that "money and fame change dudes," backing Boston’s decision to move Devers despite his franchise‑record $313 million deal.
- Newsweek reports the rift escalated when Devers resisted yielding third base to Alex Bregman, accepted designated hitter, then declined a switch to first after Triston Casas was injured.
- Devers was traded to the Giants on June 15 with the remainder of his contract, later taking up first base in San Francisco.
- Since the trade, the Red Sox are 36–24 while the Giants are 23–37, a split Newsweek says supports chief baseball officer Craig Breslow’s call.
- Newsweek cites Devers’ San Francisco line at .226/.335/.407 with 10 home runs in 60 games and notes prior coverage that he publicly criticized Breslow during the dispute.
