How Rafael Devers responds to criticism: Rafael Devers carries the weight of expectations as one of the most important players on the 2024 Red Sox. And while the 27-year-old admitted at the end of 2023 that he was “not very happy with my season overall,” the talented infielder said he isn’t affected by outside criticism.
Asked by Christopher Smith of MassLive on Monday if he thinks he’s been unfairly criticized, Devers acknowledged the overarching reality.
“People like you don’t know what’s going on off the field,” Devers told Smith through translator Carlos Villoria Benítez.
