Red Sox Post Tribute To Rafael Devers After Blockbuster Trade
The Red Sox had a message for Rafael Devers as he packed for the Bay Area.
“Forever a Red Sox champion,” the team’s social media account posted Sunday night, a few hours after the organization traded the three-time MLB All-Star to the San Francisco Giants.
“Thank you for every homer, smile, and Raffy moment.”
The Red Sox acquired four players in the trade: right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks, left-hander Kyle Harrison, outfield prospect James Tibbs III and right-handed prospect Jose Bello.
The Red Sox boarded a plane of their own for a nine-game road trip, which begins against the Seattle Mariners on Monday night before a stop in San Francisco later this week. Red Sox manager Alex Cora and others are sure to offer their individual reactions ahead of first pitch in Seattle.
