The Red Sox reportedly targeted Giants top prospect Bryce Eldridge in their negotiations that led to the Rafael Devers trade.

Boston Red Sox's Craig Breslow was jokingly thanked by Baltimore Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn for trading away Rafael Devers, putting O'Hearn into the starting DH spot on the AL All-Star team.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora admitted that it will "feel awkward" when the team visits ex-Boston third baseman/DH Rafael Devers and the San Francisco Giants for three games beginning Friday.
