Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora shares how Rafael Devers quietly walked away after learning about his surprising trade to San Francisco.

Roman Anthony slugged his first home run of his MLB career on Monday to help the Red Sox beat the Mariners, 2-0.

The Red Sox clubhouse Monday could easily have been sullen after chief baseball officer Craig Breslow traded Rafael Devers, one of the game’s top hitters, to the Giants on Sunday evening. But it was the opposite.

The Boston Red Sox have won six straight games, and have reintroduced themselves to the American League Wild Card race.

Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said he believes there is a "real chance" his team is better after trading Rafael Devers.

Prized rookie Roman Anthony has hit his first major league home run for the Boston Red Sox in the first inning against the Seattle Mariners.

The Boston Red Sox shocked the baseball world by trading away the man who – until last night – was their franchise player.

The anecdote serves to illustrate the reputation the pitcher-turned-executive has cultivated in Boston, which traded its best hitter to San Francisco on Sunday.
