This is why dumping star veterans doesn’t get you any return.

To be fair, the return is more than hicks. Its hicks and.kyle.harrison as well as low level prospects Jose Bello and james tibbs.

My guess is devers was requesting trade

Perhaps the difference in contract values traded was the point of the trade: $255M vs. $29M.

Not when they are signed to a big contract suck in the field and are bad teammates

Hick's remaining salary was $28M cash sent from the Red Sox to the Giants to reduce the total cost of Devers contract.

The Red Sox prizes were Harrison and Tibbs... unloading an unhappy employee... and saving a lot of money

I thought it was a good trade for both teams, given the situation

The Giants followed the advice of the genius brigade on this forum and converted Hicks into a starter. That was a seller decision.

He did, in the spring according to reports.

No more than a salary dump (AGAIN!) by the BoSox as the return is a big "meh".

Why can't Mo dump Arenado and his bad contract. Sorry you couldnt understand my point. I thought it would be assumed by most that Devers is the last guy the Cardinals would want. But thankfully I don't feel the need to insult people like you do. Now there's something Chief.
