The White Sox begin a series Friday against one of MLB's top hitters, Rafael Devers, who was part of a blockbuster trade between the Giants and Red Sox in June.

The return Boston received for Devers is also a point of controversy. While prospect James Tibbs III offers excitement, the rest of the package is comprised of a castaway Jordan Hicks, former top prospect Kyle Harrison, and rookie-ball pitcher Jose Bello – not the most notable return for a franchise cornerstone.

San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin revealed a setback as the team's new slugger attempts to take over first base.
