Overview

  • The Red Sox sent three-time All-Star Rafael Devers to San Francisco on June 15 for left-hander Kyle Harrison, right-hander Jordan Hicks and prospects James Tibbs and Jose Bello.
  • Harrison and Hicks bolster Boston’s pitching staff, while Tibbs and Bello strengthen its farm system.
  • Disputes over shifting Devers from third base to designated hitter and a later request to play first base soured his relationship with Boston’s front office.
  • With Devers gone, Boston’s roster now lacks any players from its 2018 World Series championship team.
  • Devers will reunite with former Red Sox stars Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts as he joins the Giants’ push in the NL West race.
