The Boston Red Sox's surprise Rafael Devers trade has certainly turned head across Major League Baseball. It was almost one week ago that Boston stunned the baseball world and there has continued to be fallout from the move pretty much each day since.

One MLB executive was impressed by the return the Boston Red Sox got from sending Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants despite believing the club mishandled the All-Star third baseman's tenure in Boston.

The Red Sox reportedly explored a Rafael Devers trade with several teams before the Giants deal, relationship began souring in spring.
