Fed up, the Red Sox traded Devers and the entire $250 million that remains on his 11-year, $331-million contract extension for left-handed starter Kyle Harrison, who promptly was optioned to Triple-A, plus injured right-hander Jordan Hicks, High-A ball outfielder prospect James Tibbs III and rookie ball pitcher Jose Bello.

The Boston Red Sox lost one of their best hitters right as they were building momentum when they traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, but some around the league believe it was the right move to get out of the slugger's contract.
