The Boston Red Sox made a shocking move when they traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, but the return has not looked great so far.

Nathaniel Lowe’s RBI double against reliever Luke Weaver broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh and proved to be the game-winner. It came in Lowe’s third game with the Red Sox, whom he joined after being released by the Nationals last weekend.

Right-hander Jordan Hicks continues to struggle, as he allowed two runs in the ninth inning on Monday. The 28-year-old now has a 6.61 ERA in 28 appearances this season and a 7.07 ERA in 15 outings since the Red Sox acquired him in the Rafael Devers trade. However, manager Alex Cora remained committed to Hicks in the postgame presser, via NESN.

There’s even more depth that could impact the 2025 season as well. When Boston traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, the jewel of the trade was starter Kyle Harrison. He’s someone who can help this team for years, but hasn’t made his Boston debut yet as he’s been down in the minors.

Some of the Devers money has already gone to Roman Anthony. Where the rest of it goes could determine much in Boston's future.

Lucas Giolito is no stranger to Yankee fans, making his sixth start against them in what’s turning out to be a pretty solid Major League career. He has a 3.63 ERA in his first season in Boston, but his lowest strikeout rate since 2018 could indicate he’s more vulnerable than the topline stats may indicate.

The Boston Red Sox lost first baseman Triston Casas to a devastating knee injury in May. The 25-year-old had struggled early in the season, but carried high expectations to return to his prior form in which he put up a 129 and 124 OPS+ in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

When will Kyle Harrison finally make his Boston Red Sox debut? Harrison was optioned to Triple-A Worcester in June when the Red Sox acquired him from the San Fr
