Rafael Devers’ relationship with the Boston Red Sox disintegrated quickly. Multiple off-the-field issues, including two disagreements over his role as a positional player and a poorly received meeting with owner John Henry, culminated in the three-time All-Star being traded to the San Francisco Giants.

Devers, as became custom during his 1,053 games as a member of the Red Sox, hit a couple of rockets in his San Francisco debut against the Guardians. In all, it was a 2-for-5 night with an RBI double and two strikeouts as San Francisco lost, 3-2.
