'Burn It Down': Red Sox Fans Lose It After Shocking Rafael Devers Trade The Boston Red Sox stunned the baseball world on Sunday with an out-of-nowhere trade of franchise centerpiece Rafael Devers. In a shocking move, the Red Sox sent the disgruntled third baseman-turned designated hitter — and decidedly not first baseman — to the San Francisco Giants for right-hander Jordan Hicks, left-hander Kyle Harrison, and prospects James Tibbs and Jose Bello. The move, which happened just after the Red Sox defeated the Yankees 2-0 on Sunday, June 15, took fans by surprise. Welcome to the Red Sox, Kyle & Jordan. pic.twitter.com/cUG4UOHy6P — Red Sox (@RedSox) J…
