Many Red Sox fans are unhappy with the team’s decision to trade away another franchise fixture in Rafael Devers.
Beyond the pain of seeing another homegrown superstar talent leave town on bad terms, the Red Sox’s return for one of the top sluggers in baseball further soured the sentiment over Sunday’s shocking deal.
But as Boston fans bemoan Devers’ exit from Boston, several executives across baseball are not echoing the same sentiment.
MLB.com reporter Mark Feinsand spoke to several executives to gauge their verdict on the Devers’ trade — with one National League decision-maker sharing that the Red Sox “did well” by moving on from Devers.
