Even with that lead up, it didn't make it any less shocking when the Red Sox traded their homegrown star to the San Francisco Giants on June 15. In return, the Red Sox picked up pitchers Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks, and prospects James Tibbs and Jose Bello, in a trade that was first reported by Fansided.

Fed up, the Red Sox traded Devers and the entire $250 million that remains on his 11-year, $331-million contract extension for left-handed starter Kyle Harrison, who promptly was optioned to Triple-A, plus injured right-hander Jordan Hicks, High-A ball outfielder prospect James Tibbs III and rookie ball pitcher Jose Bello.

Brayan Bello struck out eight over seven innings, Rafael Devers homered and Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 2-0 for a three-game sweep that extended their winning streak to five.
