It was the signing Alex Bregman that started the chain reaction that led to the Boston Red Sox trading Rafael Devers, so there's no way they'll also trade Bregman, right?

The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees were recently connected in some head-scratching trade rumors involving a superstar.

And then the bombshell dropped. Rafael Devers, the organization’s star player over the past few seasons, good enough to earn a contract over $300 million, was traded to the San Francisco Giants. The Sox got a couple of pitchers and two prospects in return. The move is being celebrated in the Bay Area, but there’s a bit of consternation in Beantown.
