Rafael Devers began the 2026 MLB season so poorly that there was discussion of a curse surrounding his trade from the Boston Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants.

Don't look now, but he's heating up.

Devers homered on Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and over the last two weeks or so, he's on a bit of a roll:

Devers is feeling so good that he's showing off some swag even when he takes a walk, which is what's pictured at the top of this article.

It's a massive development as far as the Giants' season is concerned, but also for their future.
