On Sunday, one of the last central pieces of the alignment was treated.
The Red Sox changed Devers to the San Francisco giants for Jordan Hicks, Jose Bello, James Tibbs III and Kyle Harrison, an agreement that surprised the world of baseball.

“I thought it was crazy,” he told Athletics. “Not really to say, it’s crazy.”

“How is that trade? That is wild,” he said. “Buster really is doing it! No Olney; Buster possess is really doing it there. Well for Buster, man. He will do it. He would consider (devers) one of the 10 best batters in the game in the worst case. It is definitely a change of game.”
