Rafael Devers has followed a tense spring training.
During the exhibition period, the manager of the Red Sox, Alex Cora and Devers, seemed to be in disagreement to find out if he would spend time on the baseball diamond covering the third base.
Shortly before the opening day, Cora has confirmed that Devers would take care of the designated teaching tasks of the full -time team. However, when Boston’s first goal player Triston Casas suffered a serious injury, this caused another Brass Red Sox proposal.
The former Red Sox launcher and the current deductible baseball chief, Craig Breslow, spoke of the idea of a deserves covering the first goal in the future, reported the New York Post. However, the triple MLB All-Star would have closed the idea.

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,” said devers 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.”

Devers suggested that a question concerning a position switch was actually inappropriate. “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 baseball launcher who became director of the team, 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. “”
Nevertheless, Devers clearly indicated that he had solid relationships with his Red Sox teammates before referring to this good will which did not necessarily extend to others through the organization.

“I do not understand some of the decisions that GM takes. The next thing you know, someone in the outside field is injured, and they want me to play in the outside field,” he said on Thursday.
Casas, who has spent his last four seasons from the first league to the first goal, should miss the rest of the year with a knee injury.
Devers also suggested that the Red Sox Front Office should use the market for free agents in its search for a solution to the first basis. “Now I think they should do their work essentially and hit the market and look for another player [to play first base]. I don’t know why they want me to be between the way they have me now, “he said via Masslive.com.
Devers signed a contract with the Red Sox worth $ 313.5 million in January 2023, ESPN reported. He finished last season with 28 circuits. The 28 -year -old has achieved six circuits in 39 games so far this season.
