LOS ANGELES — Buster Posey has taken his first major swing as president of baseball operations by trading for three-time All-Star third baseman and designated hitter Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox in an absolutely stunning deal, according to multiple reports.
The return for Devers includes left-hander Kyle Harrison and right-hander Jordan Hicks, as well as minor-league prospects James Tibbs III and right-hander Jose Bello, according to FanSided’s Robert Murray.
The Red Sox will not send any money to help pay for the remaining sum of the 11-year, $330 million extension that Devers signed before the 2023 season, according to multiple reports.
The club has not announced the trade.
Harrison was scheduled to start for San Francisco on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers but was scratched and replaced by right-hander Sean Hjelle.
