Overview
- The Giants have stumbled to a 22-34 start and Devers has produced below‑expectation offense for San Francisco since the 2025 trade from Boston.
- This season Devers is batting roughly .242 with seven home runs and 69 strikeouts through about 56 games, and his overall line for the Giants is about .238/.324/.440 across 550 at‑bats.
- The newest development is reporting that agent Nelson Montes de Oca moved to the Ballengee Group and that Devers has followed him, a shift away from Klutch Sports representation.
- Local writers and national commentators have floated three main options for the Giants: keep starting Devers, bench him and promote prospect Bryce Eldridge at first base, or explore trade offers despite the large remaining salary.
- The agent move could change how negotiations are handled and make trades harder to complete, leaving pressure on manager Tony Vitello and the front office to decide whether to persist with Devers or pivot to younger options.
