Rafael Devers may not be ingratiating himself with the San Francisco Giants.
The former Red Sox slugger said all of the right things last month during his introductory press conference with the Giants when it came to potentially playing first base for his new team.
“They’re the men in charge. I am here to play wherever they want me to play,” Devers said of San Francisco’s top brass about possibly moving him back to the infield. “I’ll give them my best.”
Devers’ comments stood as a drastic course correction from his stance during his final months with Boston, when the former third baseman turned DH refused to move to first base (and subsequently called out management) after Triston Casas suffered a season-ending injury.
