However, they then bounced back, and actually became a better team, and made it to the playoffs for the first time in years.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Sox manager had some time to reflect on trading Devers, and he still thinks it was the right thing to do. According to him, the whole team benefited from the trade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Dodgers predicted to sign $8.6 million two-time All-Star to replace Roki Sasaki as closer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly in the offseason, we could have talked to Raffy [Devers], and let him know that, \u2018Hey, there\u2019s a lot of guys out there, you never know what can happen.\u2019 And that\u2019s the reality of it. You never know what can happen. And as an organization, we should\u2019ve done that, but there\u2019s no regrets to be honest with you. We tried to make it work\u2026We needed to make that move for the benefit of everybody,\u201d Cora said (via Section 10 Podcast).<\/p>\n<p>This whole drama started when the Sox signed Alex Bregman, another third baseman. They told Devers his position was safe, as he made it clear he didn\u2019t want to move from the field. The Sox then moved him to DH and put Bregman at third, which upset him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Red Sox predicted to make blockbuster trade for $400 million two-time Cy Young to create renowned 1-2 punch with Garrett Crochet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This clubhouse drama continued until June 15th, when the Red Sox traded Devers to the San Francisco Giants. And, it seems like the Sox made the right choice, as Devers only hit .236 after being traded.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Sox can also take what they would have been paying Devers and put it back into their team. Hopefully, they can do it well and make another championship team for their 10th World Series win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE\u00a0MLB\u00a0NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Astros predicted to make blockbuster trade for $56 million Cy Young to replace Framber Valdez, mentor Hunter Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mets predicted to make blockbuster trade for $100 million two-time All-Star, Platinum Glove to create superstar outfield with Juan Soto<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mariners predicted to make blockbuster trade for $116.5 million three-time All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger to replace Leo Rivas<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This decision will be a historic one for the Sox franchise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":124677,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udd25 RED SOX SHOCKER: Alex Cora Drops Bombshell on Rafael Devers Trade \u2014 \u201cWe Needed to Make That Move for the Benefit of Everybody,\u201d But Was It the Right Call?
