The San Francisco Giants finally got the superstar they were searching for the past few years. All it took was making a trade with the Boston Red Sox for slugger Rafael Devers. The move comes after Devers' relationship with the Red Sox simply became unsustainable, as the team signed Alex Bregman to play his position, while also being unwilling to play first base at the team's request. So, Devers ends up with the Giants.
Devers' chance for revenge won't take long, as the Giants are set to host the Red Sox this weekend, beginning on Friday, June 20. Luckily for fans of both teams, and those who enjoy baseball in general, will be able to watch the game for free on MLB.TV.
