It’s pretty evident that the Red Sox missed Rafael Devers’s bat in their Wild Card Series loss to the Yankees.
Boston scored just six runs over the three-game set, getting shut out with the season on the line in Thursday’s Game 3. As a team, the Red Sox hit .198 in the series. Trevor Story’s homer in Game 2 served as the Red Sox’ only home run in the series, while the team only had four total extra-base hits (zero in Game 3).
But now that the season is over, let’s reflect on the trade that sent Devers to the Giants and see how much of an impact the trade made for the Red Sox.
