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.

Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow acknowledged on the conference call that the deal leaves a hole in the lineup, but he hoped it would pay off this season. Although there is a newly created need for a power hitter, the team now has roster and payroll flexibility to add players at the trade deadline, he said.

The San Francisco Giants stunning trade for Boston Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers received a mixed reaction from some MLB executives and scouts.

During an appearance on the Foul Territory podcast, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America revealed that the Red Sox had another Devers deal in place, but owner John Henry vetoed it because Boston would've had to eat some of his massive contract.
