Red Sox expected big package from the Blue Jays for Rafael Devers
The Giants ended up landing Devers and shocking the baseball world a couple days ago but it looks like the Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays were also all interested in the slugger.
The Braves, Padres, and Blue Jays inquired about Rafael Devers' availability, but weren't as motivated as the Giants.
According to reports, the Red Sox were looking for a package that involved pitcher Jose Berrios if Toronto wanted to land Devers but it looks like they thought that was too big of a return.

While Berrios has been a big part of the Blue Jays starting rotation this season, it is hard to see why they would not be willing to trade him for a superstar like Devers.
