Yankees Rival Red Sox Pull Off Stunning Trade With Giants

In return, Murray reported that the Red Sox will receive right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks, left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison, outfield prospect James Tibbs III and right-handed pitcher Jose Bello.

On the season, Devers is slashing .272/.401/.504 with 15 home runs and 58 RBIs. The 28-year-old went 1-for-8 over the first two games of Boston's series against New York this weekend before he mashed a solo home run on Sunday in what turned out to be his last long ball for the only franchise he had ever known up to that point.

Devers signed a 10-year extension worth $313.5 million with the Red Sox in January 2023 that does not include a no-trade clause, and it was the largest contract in team history.

ESPN's Jeff Passan added that Boston is not covering any of the salary remaining on his deal.

The three-time All-Star and former World Series champion openly stated that he was not willing to play first base for Boston after Triston Casas went down for the season with a torn patellar tendon in early May, which became a rather major storyline around the sport.

Devers, who had previously been stationed at third base for the entirety of his major league career, served as the club's designated hitter on a full-time basis this year after they signed Alex Bregman in the offseason and called up top prospect Marcelo Mayer in May.

Now, Devers will get a chance to carve out a new legacy with the Giants while the Yankees no longer have to face him on a regular basis.
