The Giants traded for Red Sox star Rafael Devers during mid-June. Boston receives pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison plus two minor league players. The Red Sox will pay all remaining money on Devers contract. Team officials identified prospects James Tibbs and Jose Bello as part of the deal. The trade shocked baseball fans across both markets.

Tensions grew when officials asked Devers to play first base. The slugger refused to switch positions again during the season. Red Sox ownership met privately with Devers last month about his role.
