It's technically possible, but only in a certain situation.
Normally, playing 163 games in an MLB regular season would be impossible. Teams only play 162 games.
But a trade is the simplest way to open the door.
That's what happened for Rafael Devers.
When he was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants, Boston had played one more game than San Francisco had.
So Devers got to play an extra game with the Giants relative to what the Red Sox had the rest of the way.
Couple that with Devers playing every game of the season, and it works out to 163 games played.
It's the 34th time in MLB history a player has done this, according to MLB Network's Sarah Langs.
There have been five other players to do this since 1990:
- 2008 Justin Morneau
- 2003 Hideki Matsui
- 1998 Albert Belle
- 1996 Todd Zeile
- 1996 Cal Ripken Jr.
Devers hasn't been quite as good as he would've hoped in the Bay Area.
But in reality, there's a decade still to go with Devers and the Giants.
He proved to San Francisco fans that he'll show up to the ballpark every day and play. That'll go a long way as the Giants right the ship in 2026.
