The job of translators in any media setting (and in sports especially), carries an untenable burden. A translator is trying to say everything the player said, but usually in a condensed sense because that’s what’s required in today’s day and age of media coverage.
I’m beginning this article with that disclaimer to say that, to the extent that any of the comments Rafael Devers made tonight in response to being asked to move to first base are being misconstrued or have been lost in translation, that is NOT the fault of the Red Sox’s translation staff.
