There have been few more stunning trades in Major League Baseball history.
The Boston Red Sox are sending Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, per multiple reports.
The timing is crazy. It's just June 15, plenty of time for the Red Sox to return to contention.
The talent swap seems crazy, with just major league pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison going to Boston along with a big prospect haul.
The Red Sox faced position change problems involving Devers, and they appear to have solved them by sending him away.
Devers was meant to be the face of the Boston franchise with a $313 million contract.
Now he'll be on the other side of the country in another division and another league.

The trade was reported just 10 minutes before the Giants took on the Dodgers on Sunday Night Baseball.
It's absolutely astounding, really. No one saw this coming, at least not right now in this manner.
More will surely come out that clears some of this up.
But in the immediate, it's one of the most unfathomable trades MLB has ever seen.
