Fed up, the Red Sox traded Devers and the entire $250 million that remains on his 11-year, $331-million contract extension for left-handed starter Kyle Harrison, who promptly was optioned to Triple-A, plus injured right-hander Jordan Hicks, High-A ball outfielder prospect James Tibbs III and rookie ball pitcher Jose Bello.

The week began with Boston calling up top prospect Roman Anthony. It ended with the Red Sox trading slugger Rafael Devers. In between, they swept the rival Yankees. What’s next for this team is anyone’s guess.

The sellout crowd at Fenway Park roared when Brayan Bello came back out of the dugout for the seventh inning on Sunday afternoon. Their cheers only got louder from there. The slender righthander was at his best against the Yankees, pitching seven brilliant innings as the Sox again beat their rivals, 2-0.
