After months of tension between Rafael Devers and the Boston front office, the Red Sox shocked the baseball world by trading their franchise superstar to the San Francisco Giants. The move drew some strong reactions around the league.

Few people on Earth can relate to the Rafael Devers trade as well as Mookie Betts, but even he struggled to wrap his mind around it.

Gabriel Arias hit a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning and doubled in the ninth on a night when San Francisco celebrated new slugger Rafael Devers at every chance, and the Cleveland Guardians spoiled the fun by beating the Giants 3-2 on Tuesday.

Legendary Red Sox slugger David Ortiz said players' egos sometimes play a big role in trades like the one Rafael Devers was involved in.
