Everybody got what they needed in the Rafael Devers blockbuster
NY Post
One thing everyone’s convinced of: We won’t see a bigger deadline trade than the bombshell Rafael Devers deal.
For one, that’s a monster in-season move involving one of the 10 biggest contracts and one of the 10-15 best hitters.
For another, there are fears throughout the industry this deadline could be an absolute dud. Here’s why, according to one GM: “The bad teams are really bad. What the hell do they have?”
Anyway, this trade was so monstrous it’s worth examining one more time from all the main perspectives.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
