Red Sox Complete Trade, Sending Devers to Brewers for Prospect
In a surprising move, the Boston Red Sox have traded star third baseman Rafael Devers to the Milwaukee Brewers. The deal brings a new chapter for both teams as the season progresses, with the Red Sox aiming to rebuild and the Brewers looking to bolster their roster for a playoff push.
The Red Sox will receive a package including infielder Owen Miller, along with pitching prospects Jett Manning and Juan Antonio. The trade marks a significant shift for Boston, who had previously relied heavily on Devers’ offensive production.
Devers, a consistent power hitter, has launched 215 home runs throughout his career. The move comes as the Red Sox look to acquire younger talent and reshape their lineup. The Brewers, meanwhile, add a proven offensive threat in the middle of their order.
The trade was finalized on Monday, February 9, 2026 and is already generating discussion among fans and analysts. The Red Sox are clearly signaling a commitment to a long-term rebuild, even as the Brewers are betting on Devers to make an immediate impact.
