Giants Make Concerning Admission Amid Rafael Devers Blockbuster Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Francisco Giants shocked the baseball world on Sunday after completing a blockbuster deal for Boston Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers – and agreeing to take on the remaining eight years and $254 million that the Red Sox owed him.

That’s because minutes before their 4:10 p.m. PST game against the Los Angeles Dodgers — a game they would lose 5-4 — news broke that the Giants were acquiring three-time All-Star Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for left-hander Kyle Harrison, right-hander Jordan Hicks, outfielder James Tibbs III and right-hander Jose Bello.

The Devers trade was a step in the right direction for a Giants team that is 41-31, but it also forced the team into going all in, so San Francisco should continue adding talent to the major league roster.
