The Los Angeles Dodgers are familiar with significant trades involving the Boston Red Sox, notably the recent transfer of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. This unexpected move occurred just before the Dodgers’ game against the Giants and echoed the Dodgers' acquisition of Mookie Betts in 2020. Betts remarked on the surprising nature of trades, emphasizing that Boston's focus remains on building a winning team. Though Devers has not reached the MVP accolades of Betts, he is still a celebrated player and a three-time All-Star, indicating the competitive landscape in the league.
The Los Angeles Dodgers know a thing or two about pulling off a megadeal with the Boston Red Sox.
Aside from the frantic pitching swap right before the contest - San Francisco's southpaw Kyle Harrison was scheduled to pitch against L.A. but was included in the Devers deal.
I just thought it was crazy. Nothing really to say, it's just crazy," Betts said. "They care. They want to win."
Devers, also a valued member of the 2018 title team in Boston, is 28 years old and a three-time All-Star with a knack for crushing the ball out of the park.
