Rafael Devers era ended the same way as the last five days of the Devers era: with a win. The Red Sox shut out out the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on Monday night (BOS 2, SEA 0), one day after the stunner of a trade that sent Devers to the San Francisco Giants for four players and salary relief.

The Boston Red Sox have already traded away one key player in Rafael Devers. They could cut ties with an elite pitcher if they fall out of contention.

Just as the entire sports world was laughing at the Boston Red Sox, Roman Anthony gave them a reason to smile. The 21-year-old Anthony, Major League Baseball's consensus number-one prospect, launched his first career home run in his first plate appearance on Monday night against the Seattle Mariners.
