Boston Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants amid reports of team issues.

The Boston Red Sox's trade of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants has been viewed more positively due to reported team dysfunction. Devers' refusal to play first base contributed to the decision. Meanwhile, Alex Bregman, the Red Sox's third baseman, is a potential trade target for several teams, including the Mets and Cubs, though a deal appears unlikely. The team is also considering acquiring pitcher Sandy Alcantara to address pitching needs and outfield logjam ahead of the trade deadline.
