Hours after the Red Sox swept the Yankees on Sunday night, they made their second franchise-changing trade over the last five-plus years.

Just hours after the Red Sox handed the Yankees their first sweep of the season — and their most impotent offensive series in over a century — Boston pulled off a shocking trade that sent their slugging third baseman Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants.

The Boston Red Sox traded slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants in a deal that could shake up pennant races on both coasts.

BOSTON — The Yankees had at least one reason to celebrate as they traveled back to New York on Sunday evening, licking their wounds after an ugly three-game sweep at the hands of the rival Red Sox. Boston traded superstar Rafael Devers to the Giants in shocking blockbuster deal.

According to YES Network, it’s been 103 years since the Yankees were held to four runs or fewer across a three-game series against Boston. Not since 1922 had they looked this flat in a full series against the Sox. The Yankees' four runs matched their fewest in a three-game series at Fenway Park, from June 20-22, 1916, and from Sept. 28-30, 1922.
