Giants trade for Red Sox star Rafael Devers in blockbuster move

I've seen it said online that this trade was akin to the Luka trade as far as value returned for him.

That was the 1st thought that crossed my mind, maybe Luka-Light.

Generally speaking, the team that acquires the best player wins the trade.

I'm just waiting for the sunroof of a car parked on Landsdowne St. to open up and a Ukranian drone flies out, heading for the owner's box at Fenway.

Didn't that make him eminently qualified to provide care to Dave Stieb?
