The position of Rafael Devers’s position continues, and now it seems that the front office is involved.
Devers, who played the third goal of his entire career with the Boston Red Sox, ended up in a special place when the team signed Alex Bregman, also a third basic player (and a much better defender), shortly before the start of the season.
Devers is an All-Star three times, and despite a lot of turnover in Boston (in particular, Trading Mookie Betts in 2020), Devers was the only star that the team chose to keep. They signed it for an agreement of 11 years worth $ 313.5 million before the 2023 season, which would have been a contractual year.

But despite the two parts that manifest themselves in loyalty in these discussions, there is now an intense dramatic mixing.
The plan after Bregman signed seemed to be to move devers in second position, but Devers in fact only dh’d this year. Bregman, meanwhile, held the warm corner, and the emergence of the Kristian Campbell recruit in the second left without position on the ground.
Well, the first goal player Triston Casas is absent for the season with a knee injury, and the SOX approached the idea of playing the first goal, but he closed it fairly quickly.
Now it is reported that the owner of the SOX John Henry, the managing director Craig Breslow and the president of the Sam Kennedy team have all taken the plane for Kansas City, where the SOX play this weekend, to meet the quadruple All-Star.
Manager Alex Cora spoke in private with debts on Friday, and it was reported that the attitude of devers about the posts was not well received in the clubhouse.

During its public refutation of the potential change of position, Devers cited the previous instructions of the Red Sox which are linked to it using its glove.
“I know that I am a ball player, but at the same time, they cannot expect me to play each position there,” said deals via a translator, according to the Boston Globe. “During spring training, they told me about it and essentially told me to put my glove to put away, that I was not going to play another position but DH.”
“So, at the moment, I have the impression that it is not a decision appropriate by them to ask me to play another position,” he added.
Devers then wondered if Breslow, the director of the team who became a launcher, had a certain level of dissatisfaction with him.
“I am not sure [issue] He has with me, “said journalists.” He played ball, and I would like to think that he knows that changing positions as it is not easy. “”
Devers currently reaches. 253, its lowest since a campaign of .240 in 2018, its second year in the big leagues. He heads the American league back and walked.

He has not played another position since he played a round at the stopped stop in 2023, out of despair. In total, he played three career rounds at each intermediate position, and much more than 8,000 in third place.
