The Boston Red Sox shocked fans by trading star slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. In a Zoom call, team president Sam Kennedy and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow discussed the implications of this significant move. Breslow acknowledged that losing a player of Devers' caliber impacts the lineup but emphasized a focus on improving the team's culture and environment. Despite the uncertainty, they expressed confidence that the decision could lead to better performance and more wins for the Red Sox throughout the season.
Craig Breslow said the quiet part out loud during his opening comments on Monday's presser. "It'd be tough to sit here and say, when you move a player of Raffy's caliber - when you take that bat out of the lineup, how can I sit here and say that 'We're a better team.' And I acknowledge that."
Breslow and Kennedy didn't delve into specifics when it came to the season-long drama and discord stirred up between Devers and the front office. But, Breslow didn't exactly mince words when sharing his belief that moving a disgruntled Devers was the necessary move.
