Craig Breslow and Sam Kennedy discussed the Red Sox's decision to trade Rafael Devers on Monday. Here are eight takeaways.

Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow made it clear that the Rafael Devers trade doesn't mean that they're giving up.

The move came as a shock to Red Sox fans still salty over the salary dump of Mookie Betts in 2020 – a year after he won the AL MVP – in a trade that yielded little in return. The team also let Xander Bogaerts leave as a free agent before deciding that Devers was the player they were willing to invest in.
