Updated june 19,2025
Former Red sox player Johnny Damon believes the Rafael Devers trade is tough for nearly everyone involved,especially Boston fans. While acknowledging the widespread disappointment, Damon also recognizes the factors that led to the decision.
“It’s horrible,” Damon said of the trade that sent Devers to the San Francisco Giants.
Damon explained that Devers’ frustration with his position created tension that the team “needed to ease.” he also noted that trading Devers frees up meaningful financial resources for the Red Sox to use in the future. Damon, who is running his beverage business, A-GAME,said he remains “excited” for the Red Sox’s future.
Despite joining a solid Giants team, Damon anticipates a difficult adjustment for Devers, noting the unique atmosphere of East Coast baseball.
Damon addressed the possibility of the Red Sox regretting the trade. “If Devers goes out and wins a couple MVPs and a couple championships, absolutely they will,” Damon said.”But I think the Red Sox are thinking about right now and they’re younger and there’s no distraction right now.”
“It’s horrible,” he said.
Damon added,”that’s really good for the red Sox.”
