Jun 1, 2025; Cumberland, Georgia, USA; Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers (11) shown in the dugout before the game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-Imagn Images The Boston Red Sox traded All-Star slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday in a blockbuster deal that included right-hander Jordan Hicks and left-hander Kyle Harrison going to Boston.
The Red Sox also acquired outfield prospect James Tibbs III and right-handed pitching prospect Jose Bello in the trade.
A three-time All-Star with Boston, the 28-year-old Devers was hitting .272 with 15 home runs and 58 RBIs in 73 games this season. However, he had been at odds with the Red Sox front office after first declining to move to designated hitter after the Red Sox signed Gold Glove third baseman Alex Bregman in the offseason, then declining to play first base following the season-ending injury to Triston Casas on May 2.
A mainstay in the Red Sox lineup since he debuted at age 20 in 2017, Devers signed a 10-year, $313.5 million extension in January 2023. The Giants will reportedly pay the rest of the contract that runs through 2033 and includes more than $250 million.
In parts of nine seasons with Boston, Devers — a two-time Silver Slugger — hit .279/.349/.510 with 215 home runs and 696 RBIs in 1,053 games and played an instrumental role in the team’s 2018 World Series championship.
Devers, who now joins the heart of a San Francisco lineup that includes Matt Chapman (currently on the IL) and Willy Adames, will see his former team soon as the Red Sox visit the National League West-contending Giants for a three-game series starting on Friday.
As for the return the Red Sox received, Hicks can start or relieve but has struggled this season, posting a 1-5 record with a 6.47 ERA over 48 2/3 innings. He does possess a 97.3 mph fastball but has had trouble harnessing his command. The 28-year-old is in the second year of a four-year, $44 million deal.
Harrison, 23, is a former prospect who was ranked No. 11 in 2023 on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospects list. In 2025, he is 1-1 with a 4.56 ERA in eight appearances (four starts) spanning 23 2/3 innings and has the potential to eventually anchor a rotation. In three seasons since the Giants drafted him in the third round in 2020, Harrison is 9-9 with a 4.48 ERA in 182 2/3 innings over 39 games (35 starts).
Tibbs, 22, was the Giants’ 2024 first-round pick (No. 13 overall) and the No. 4 prospect in the organization, per MLB Pipeline. At High Class-A Eugene this season, he hit .245/.377/.480 with 12 homers and 32 RBIs. In 83 minor league games at two levels since last year, he has hit .244/.352/.432 with 14 homers and 38 RBIs.
Bello is a 20-year-old right-hander who has the potential to be a high-strikeout hurler. He fared well in eight relief outings this season in the Florida Complex League, posting a 2.00 ERA In 18 innings, with 28 strikeouts and three walks. He also held opponents to a .156 batting average.

To její sténání! Polská tenistka nemůže Sabalenkovou vystát
Sabalenková v posledním roce ženskému tenisu jasně vládne. Jenže i přes takřka dokonalé výkony na kurtech není Běloruska zrovna nejoblíbenější tenistkou světa. Poslední, kdo si nebral servítky a chování Sabalenkové odsoudil, byla bývalá světová sedmačtyřicítka Nowaková. „Její tenis se mi nelíbí. Nesnáším to sténání, už to nemůžu poslouchat, musím dokonce vypínat zvuk,“ postěžovala si Polka pro server przegladsportowy.Proti hekání na kurtu, kterým proslula především Ruska Maria Šarapovová, už se v minulosti ohradila třeba Martina Navrátilová. „Mělo by to přestat, nezvedáváme přece metráková závaží. Je to něco jako podvádění, nechtěné, ale je. Soupeř musí mít šanci slyšet úder míčku,“ říkala v minulosti česko-americká legenda.Skvělé výkony Sabalenkové zajistily finálovou účast na třech grandslamech v řadě, v New Yorku dokonce slavila zisk titulu. Světovému žebříčku suverénně vévodí, vždyť na druhou Coco Gauffovou má náskok téměř 3500 bodů.Ve Wimbledonu, který vypukne již 30. června navíc loni kvůli zranění sedmadvacetiletá rodačka z Minsku nestartovala, a tak […]
McIlroy confident ahead of Travelers: I found a feeling at US Open
