The MLB industry was left reeling on Sunday when the Boston Red Sox suddenly traded the $313.5 million face of their franchise.

As for Boston's return in the trade, Breslow most notably mentioned Jordan Hicks ' potential as "a dominant late-inning reliever" and noted that the Red Sox have "identified some development opportunities" with Kyle Harrison that would allow him to become a presence toward the front of the front of the big-league rotation.

The Boston Red Sox's reason for trading Rafael Devers stems from the fact that Devers "did not live up to those responsibilities" of a $313.5 million player.
