Willy Adames is 'thrilled' to have Devers on Giants

The San Francisco Giants sent their clubhouse a major message by pulling the trigger on a blockbuster trade for All-Star infielder Rafael Devers, shortstop Willy Adames said.
The deal also included outfielder James Tibbs III, last year’s first-round selection, and 20-year-old right-hander Jose Bello. Despite Devers’ talents, the Giants kept Bryce Eldridge, their top overall prospect, and left-hander Carson Whisenhunt, their top pitching prospect.
Posey’s bold, brash, and perhaps even reckless trade for three-time All-Star slugger Rafael Devers on Sunday is a big black-and-orange stamp from the new director of baseball operations on the Giants organization.
After an excruciatingly slow start to his time in San Francisco, it looks like Willy Adames is finally turning things around. The SF Giants shortstop was paid a lot this offseason but many fans feel he has not been worth it. The shortstop was struggling.
Here are five players I’m worried about. In a perfect world, Luis Robert Jr. would be crushing the ball for a young, rebuilding Chicago White Sox team that would have the best position player available at this year’s trade deadline. But this isn’t a perfect world, and pretty much the exact opposite has happened for Robert and the White Sox.
