Rafael Devers begins his mandate with the Giants of San Francisco on the right foot, and it started with him saying all the good things during his first press conference.
Devers, putting his New Jersey for the first time since he was shocking on trade by the Boston Red Sox, was presented on Tuesday at the media in the Bay region before his first match.
Devers was in alignment as a designated teammate, and the only big question about his new MLB chapter was the place where the giants planned to play it.
Matt Chapman, a gold glover, is cemented to the third goal, the natural position of delay.

But Devers does not bother where he plays with his new team.
“I’m here to give my 100%,” he said by an interpreter on Tuesday. “I don’t put on but. They are the men in charge.
The Red Sox raise concerns of Doxxing to the police after the trade in Rafael Devers, say the managers
“I am here to play wherever they want me to play.”
It is a different tone from what Devers has taken all season with the Red Sox, who started when they signed Alex Bregman, another third goal of the Golden Glove, to probably start the year in the warm corner.
This is exactly what happened for Alex Cora’s team after Devers published publicly that he was not going to abandon the third goal to Bregman during the spring training. After conversations with Cora and the front office, he changed his air. But he was degenerated again when Triston Casas, the first base player of the team, was lost for the rest of the year.

Devers publicly revealed that he would not play the first goal, preferring to remain the full -time designated striker.
Although there was a flaw between Devers and the front office, he did not want to be exchanged. Red Sox baseball director Craig Breslow spoke to the media on Monday after the blockbuster agreement, saying that the team “had a different vision for him in the future than him”.
“We could not get there, what we needed with him, it would be in the best interest of the Ball Club,” said Breslow.
Devers signed an agreement of $ 103.5 million in $ 103.5 million in January 2023 to be a cornerstone of the Red Sox.

But the giants, who assume all the financial responsibilities for the rest of this agreement, are delighted to see what Devers can bring to a charged NL West.
