The Los Angeles Dodgers’ main rival, the San Francisco Giants, traded for Boston Red Sox star Rafael Devers on Sunday.
The price that the Giants gave up for Devers was southpaw Kyle Harrison, right-hander Jordan Hicks, outfield prospect James Tibbs, and minor league right-hander Jose Bello.
The trade occurred about 20 minutes before the Giants would complete a three-game series against the Dodgers, and San Francisco had Harrison scheduled to take the mound against the divisional rivals. The southpaw would have to be replaced by Sean Hjelle just moments before the first pitch was thrown.

Dodgers utility star Tommy Edman spoke on both the gravity of the trade and how the Giants’ scheduled starter was shipped to Boston right before making his way to the hill.
