Devers’ arrival came two days after San Francisco acquired the three-time All-Star in a blockbuster deal with the Red Sox, who received left-hander Kyle Harrison, right-hander Jordan Hicks, 2024 first-round Draft pick James Tibbs III and pitching prospect Jose Bello in return.

"A little bit of DH and a little bit of first base,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said about Devers's role with the team.

Rafael Devers chaffed at the idea of switching to first base in the middle of the season in Boston. Yet, just two days after he was traded by the Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants, Devers expressed rare openness.
