Red Sox fans were hit with a double whammy on June 15, 2025—not only did Boston trade beloved three-time All-Star Rafael Devers to the Giants in a major deal (netting pitchers Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks, plus two prospects), but it was a small, unexpected gesture during his departure that really got people talking. Details are still emerging, but the emotional moment—likely something personal or symbolic—clearly resonated more than the cold mechanics of the trade.
Editor’s Note: Trades are part of sports, but this one stings extra for Red Sox fans. Devers wasn’t just a star; he was a homegrown player who felt like part of the team’s identity. The "gesture" (whatever it was) adds a human layer to the business side of baseball—reminding fans that these moves aren’t just about stats, but about relationships and loyalty. It’s a story about how franchises say goodbye, not just who they’re getting in return.
