The Giants do have plenty of arms waiting in the wings at Triple-A Sacramento, a list that includes Keaton Winn, Mason Black, Trevor McDonald and the trio of Carsons: Carson Ragsdale, Carson Seymour and Carson Whisenhunt.

The Red Sox acquired pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison as well as prospects James Tibbs III and Jose Bello. Baseball America ranked Tibbs as the Giants’ No. 3 prospect and is a power-hitting outfielder. The Giants also took on the entirety of Devers’ contract, which has eight years and $250 million remaining.

The Rafael Devers trade might have rankled some Red Sox fans, but one MLB insider gave Boston an "A+" for dealing him.
