After months of tension between Rafael Devers and the Boston front office, the Red Sox shocked the baseball world by trading their franchise superstar to the San Francisco Giants. The move drew some strong reactions around the league.

The San Francisco Giants need to find a permanent position for Rafael Devers, but that will be easier said than done based on the current roster construction.

Few people on Earth can relate to the Rafael Devers trade as well as Mookie Betts, but even he struggled to wrap his mind around it.

By acquiring three-time All-Star Rafael Devers from the Red Sox, the Giants did what the Mariners won't: take on a boatload of money to improve their team.

Gabriel Arias hit a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning and doubled in the ninth on a night when San Francisco celebrated new slugger Rafael Devers at every chance, and the Cleveland Guardians spoiled the fun by beating the Giants 3-2 on Tuesday.

Legendary Red Sox slugger David Ortiz said players' egos sometimes play a big role in trades like the one Rafael Devers was involved in.
