Three weeks into the Rafael Devers era, the San Francisco Giants find themselves sitting in the third wild-card spot even though Devers has been merely solid rather than great through 20 games. He's hitting .240/.348/.387 with two home runs for the Giants after slashing .272/.401/.504 with 15 homers in 73 games with the Boston Red Sox.

And the ego of Rafael Devers appears to be striking again… The new slugger for the San Francisco Giants is seemingly brewing up some tension in the clubhouse after he left San Fran legend Will Clark hanging due to not showing up to first-base training sessions.

Devers still has yet to play the field for the Giants, and negative speculation got louder amid a damaging new report on Tuesday July 8, 2025.

The New York Yankees were named as a potential trade suitor for former Boston Red Sox and current San Francisco Giants slugger Rafael Devers.

"Look, I don't think you can ever have enough pitching," Posey said. "So we'll just keep our options open for what might present itself."

Shortstop Willy Adames went 1 for 3, hit a solo homer and drove in three runs. He totaled seven RBIs in the series against the A’s. Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores each had two hits and scored once.

The San Francisco Giants have a long-term answer at shortstop, but it never hurts to have a backup in the organization.
