Rafael Devers traded by Red Sox to Giants in blockbuster deal
UNITED STATES, JUN 16 – The Giants took on Devers' $313.5 million contract and traded four players to Boston, aiming to boost offense and contend for a World Series, sources said.
- On Sunday, the Boston Red Sox completed a major trade, sending three-time All-Star infielder Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants.
- The trade occurred after Devers declined to shift to first base following an injury to Triston Casas that ended his season, leaving the team short at that position.
- Devers, who signed a 10-year, $313.5 million contract with Boston in 2023, batted.272 with 15 home runs and 58 RBIs through 73 games this season.
- Giants manager Bob Melvin described Devers as a "power left-handed bat" who "fits the Giants perfectly," while Willy Adames said the trade "sends a message we are going to compete."
- The Giants, holding a 41-31 record and positioned second in the NL West, anticipate Devers stepping into the roles of designated hitter and third baseman due to Matt Chapman's injury.
