Alex Cora was candid on Monday evening when asked how the Red Sox can replicate Rafael Devers’ production at the plate moving forward.
In all likelihood, it’s a fool’s errand.
“Raffy Devers is Raffy Devers,” Cora said ahead of Boston’s matchup against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. “He’s a special hitter, and we all know that. “But there’s an opportunity for other guys to get at-bats and contribute.”
For the first time this season, the Red Sox will have another player slot in at the DH spot on Monday (Kristian Campbell), with Boston’s de-facto DH and face of the franchise in Devers now playing for the San Francisco Giants.
