Sources: Red Sox deal Devers to Giants in stunner

The

Tensions flared again last month after Devers refused the team’s request to move him to first base after starting first baseman Triston Casas was ruled out for the season because of a knee injury.

It reached a point where Red Sox owner John Henry sat down with the disgruntled star, making a rare trip to meet the team on the road and smooth things over after Devers’ pointed comments about the request to switch positions again.

Hicks and Harrison give a pitching-starved Red Sox team more depth on their staff while Devers provides a huge boost to the Giants’ struggling offense.

Devers is batting .272 with 15 homers and 58 RBIs this season.

The deal was first reported by Fansided.
