The Boston Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. However, they purportedly do not intend to be sellers at the trade deadline.

The Boston Red Sox shocked the baseball community earlier this week by trading Rafael Devers. After months of discontent, the

Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow acknowledged on a conference call Sunday night that the deal leaves a hole in the lineup, but he hoped it would pay off this season. Although there is a newly created need for a power hitter, the team now has roster and payroll flexibility to add players at the trade deadline, he said.
