The Boston Red Sox shocked the world when they traded away disgruntled superstar Rafael Devers. The timing was alarming, with the team just wrapping up a three-game sweep against the New York Yankees. The finger-pointing is even more polarizing. Whether the team or Devers is to blame is all anyone can talk about.

Rosenthal said the Giants’ history of swinging and missing on high-profile sluggers — specifically naming the missed trade for Giancarlo Stanton and the failed free agent pursuits of Bryce Harper, Carlos Correa, Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani — made this deal worth the risk.

As for Devers's perspective, Red Sox beat writer Chris Cotillo shared some insight about what peeved Devers the most about his situation in Boston.
