Devers, 28, is one of the best hitters in baseball, and the Red Sox have been worse since dealing him to San Francisco. They just got swept by the Los Angeles Angels and enter play on Friday at 40-42 and in fourth place in the American League East. Furthermore, they are on the outside-looking-in of the wild card picture as well.

The Red Sox are unlikely to find a like-for-like replacement for Rafael Devers in Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna.

"We were all excited. We just swept the Yankees. We love our team and instead of being excited, I'm devastated," a fan told WBZ. "It's wild. We have traded Mookie Betts and Devers in the last five years. Our two best players and we got, essentially, nothing in return for either of them."
