By acquiring three-time All-Star Rafael Devers from the Red Sox, the Giants did what the Mariners won't: take on a boatload of money to improve their team.

The Boston Red Sox are one of the hottest teams in baseball and followed up the shocking Rafael Devers blockbuster in the best way possible on Monday night. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and president and chief executive officer Sam Kennedy addressed the media before the game.

The Red Sox (38–36) have won three straight series for the first time this season, capped by a sweep of the Yankees at Fenway Park on Sunday. They head into Tuesday holding the final wild-card spot (+170 to make the playoffs, per Caesars ), but the roster still has gaps.
