When the San Francisco Giants made their blockbuster trade for Boston Red Sox’s star slugger Rafael Devers, they did so in hopes that he would be the spark that finally kicked their largely dormant offense into gear. The Giants had been struggling all season at the plate, but had somehow managed to keep pace in an extremely competitive NL West, sitting just two games back of their hated rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the standings. The injection of Devers into the middle of the order for San Francisco gave many hope that things might finally start to turn in their favor at the plate, and in doing so, swing the advantage out west back back to the bay. As the past two weeks have unfolded, though, it’s become very clear that the Giants are going to need far more help at the dish than what Devers alone can provide.
