| 0:19.1 | Raphael Devers, after all that had happened with Boston this spring, |
| 0:24.2 | the move from third base to DH, then them wanting him to play first base, did not want to be |
| 0:29.8 | in Boston anymore. And the Red Sox saw this as an opportunity to get rid of more than $250 million |
| 0:36.2 | that he was owed. |
| 0:38.1 | And the San Francisco Giants are taking on every penny of his remaining contract that runs through |
| 0:43.5 | 2003. |
| 0:44.7 | At the same time, the Red Sox in Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks get a couple of arms. |
