Devers had played his entire nine-year career with Boston, and had just signed a 10-year, $313.5 million contract with the team in 2023. The Giants will take on the entirety of Devers' contract, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
But the 2025 season was also filled with drama for Devers, who didn't seem thrilled to be moved to designated hitter in the spring after Boston signed veteran Alex Bregman. He then refused to give first base a try following Tristan Casas' season-ending injury in June, which prompted team owner John Henry and president Sam Kennedy to visit the disgruntled star during a series in Kansas City.
Red Sox return for Rafael Devers
In return for Devers, Boston is receiving a package of three pitchers and a position player, including right-hander Jordan Hicks and left-hander Kyle Harrison.
Hicks started 29 games for San Francisco the last two seasons and has a record of 16-33 with a 4.23 ERA and 1.369 WHIP over his seven-year career with the Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, and Toronto Blue Jays.
Boston also received 20-year-old righty Jose Bello, who has a 2.00 ERA in rookie ball this season.
First baseman/outfielder James Tibbs III, who was San Francisco's No. 4-ranked prospect, is also heading to the Red Sox. Tibbs III was drafted 13th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft out of Florida State.
