One MLB executive was impressed by the return the Boston Red Sox got from sending Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants despite believing the club mishandled the All-Star third baseman's tenure in Boston.

As he prepares to face his former team just five days after being traded, San Francisco Giants slugger Rafael Devers wants to leave things in the past as it pertains to the Boston Red Sox. But he did provide some insight into his feelings when he was asked Friday why he'd consider playing first base for the Giants when he refused to do so for the Red Sox.

Rafael Devers had a consistent mantra when he addressed the Boston media for the first time since his surprising trade from the Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants five days ago.
