It’s no secret that the San Francisco Giants have struggled to convince superstar free agent hitters to make Oracle Park their home. In the eyes of one MLB insider, that fact alone is why the Giants’ blockbuster trade for Red Sox star Rafael Devers is a massive win for the orange and black.
Ken Rosenthal has been an MLB reporter for decades and currently works for the Athletic, Fox Sports and the “Foul Territory” YouTube show.
