This really isn’t something that needs to be said, but I’ve seen some opinions out there to the contrary and wanted to address it in slightly longer form than a tweet. The relationship between Rafael Devers and the Red Sox has deteriorated in just the second season of his 10-year, $313.5 million extension, leading many to wonder whether the sides will look to part ways via trade.
Following an offseason kerfuffle that saw Devers bristle at moving from third base to accommodate Alex Bregman, the latest issue stems from his reluctance to play first base.
