Legendary Red Sox slugger David Ortiz said players' egos sometimes play a big role in trades like the one Rafael Devers was involved in.

Devers, 28, did not resolve his problems with Boston’s front office. And on Sunday, the Red Sox made one of the most stunning baseball trades in recent memory, sending Devers to the San Francisco Giants for right-hander Jordan Hicks, left-hander Kyle Harrison, outfield prospect James Tibbs III and pitching prospect Jose Bello.

The Boston Red Sox shocked the baseball world when they traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. David Ortiz thinks Devers is partly to blame.
