The White Sox begin a series Friday against one of MLB's top hitters, Rafael Devers, who was part of a blockbuster trade between the Giants and Red Sox in June.

The return Boston received for Devers is also a point of controversy. While prospect James Tibbs III offers excitement, the rest of the package is comprised of a castaway Jordan Hicks, former top prospect Kyle Harrison, and rookie-ball pitcher Jose Bello – not the most notable return for a franchise cornerstone.

"We were all excited. We just swept the Yankees. We love our team and instead of being excited, I'm devastated," a fan told WBZ. "It's wild. We have traded Mookie Betts and Devers in the last five years. Our two best players and we got, essentially, nothing in return for either of them."
