What happened: One year after the blockbuster deal that sent Rafael Devers to San Francisco, a retrospective analysis characterizes the trade as a failure for both franchises. Devers is currently mired in a career-worst slump, while the Red Sox have already traded away nearly every prospect they received in the initial swap.

Why it matters: The Giants sit well below .500 as Devers posts a .706 OPS, the lowest mark of his ten-year career. Boston’s decision to move their franchise cornerstone for salary flexibility has backfired, leaving them last in the AL East without a viable long-term replacement at third base.

What to watch: San Francisco will monitor Devers' production ahead of the trade deadline to determine if his massive contract remains movable. The Red Sox face a difficult path to rebuild their lineup depth after failing to capitalize on the assets from the Devers departure.
