The article discusses the recent trade of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, an event that starkly highlights the failures of Red Sox management, particularly following the controversial Mookie Betts trade. The author reflects on the personal experience of missing out on social media notifications, only to discover this significant sports news. This trade marks a tragic end to a series of poor decisions by the Red Sox, embodied by the figures of John Henry and Chaim Bloom, culminating in a narrative that further tarnishes their legacy as they deal with the repercussions of past decisions.
This trade was about Devers, Henry, Bloom, and the disastrous circumstances set in motion by the Mookie Betts trade, which has finally run its course.
The piper has been paid, and the Sox aren't even sending money this time, indicating the depths of the current situation.
The inevitable comparisons to the Mookie trade will be wrong; this isn't just an in-kind move but a narrative capstone to a historical mistake.
The 2020 Red Sox were two years removed from greatness but the management's decisions have led to a brutal karmic payback.
