Alex Cora and the Red Sox roster shared their thoughts on Rafael Devers' trade to the Giants ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners.

Boston Red Sox brass on Monday night held a news conference to address the recent surprise and controversial trade of slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. The Red Sox on Sunday dealt Devers to the Giants as the centerpiece of a five-player trade that netted Boston some young talent in return and also put the roughly $250 million left on Devers' contract on San Francisco's books.

Anthony wasted little time claiming his Red Sox mantle. On Monday night, in the first game after Boston traded away its superstar slugger, Anthony turned on a pitch and crushed it deep and gone to right-center in Seattle. It was Anthony's first MLB home run.
