Rafael Devers, San Francisco and Boston

Posey’s bold, brash, and perhaps even reckless trade for three-time All-Star slugger Rafael Devers on Sunday is a big black-and-orange stamp from the new director of baseball operations on the Giants organization.
The San Francisco Giants pulled off the most shocking trade of the Major League Baseball season on Sunday night, obtaining three-time All-Star slugger Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox as part of a five-player swap.
Rafael Devers' long-term position for the Giants remains a huge question mark following his arrival from the Red Sox.
First-year president of baseball operations Buster Posey tried patience and positive reinforcement, but as the Giants’ offensive struggles reached their third week unabated, it was undeniable that San Francisco’s clubhouse had become just a bit too comfortable with not scoring runs.
Rafael Devers has been formally introduced by the Giants, days after being traded to San Francisco by the Boston Red Sox.
