Red Sox president Sam Kennedy says Devers' refusal to change positions made it impossible for him to stay with the team.

Devers was traded to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday night for pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison and a pair of prospects.

The deal comes less than two years after the Red Sox signed Devers to a 10-year , $313.5 million contract.

Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow says the deal leaves a hole in the lineup but hopes it will pay off this season .

The Red Sox manager says he second -guessed himself over how he handled the Bregman signing.

Breslow says the front office will continue to look for ways to improve the team.

The team has relied on callups like Kristian Campbell , Marcelo Mayer and top prospect Roman Anthony .

"Being great teammates and sacrificing and stepping up for each other" are principles, he says.
