Red Sox teammates’ reactions revealed as Rafael Devers wages war against front office
NY Post
Rafael Devers may be waging his war against the Red Sox front office alone.
Devers’ postgame salvo toward Boston’s decision-makers stating his refusal to shift to first base elicited “not positive” reactions from teammates in the clubhouse at the time, according to Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald.
Red Sox top baseball executive Craig Breslow approached Devers about a potential shift to first base after Triston Casas’ season-ending injury, the second time this year the slugger has been asked about shifting positions after he previously moved to designated hitter to let Alex Bregman man third base.
“I know I’m a ballplayer, but at the same time, they can’t expect me to play every single position out there. In spring training, they talked to me and basically told me to put away my glove,” Devers said Thursday via translator, according to the Associated Press. “I wasn’t going to play another position other than DH. Right now, I don’t think it would be an appropriate decision by them to ask me to play another position.”
The Devers-Red Sox drama is a complicated situation dating back to spring training, when the team moved their homegrown star from his position to accommodate a free-agent signing in Bregman.
Devers didn’t particularly love being shifted from the hot corner, but he made the transition.
