Red Sox owner John Henry meets with Rafael Devers over remarks

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Boston Red Sox owner John Henry met with disgruntled star Rafael Devers on Friday afternoon, making a rare trip to meet the team on the road after Devers expressed disillusionment with the organization's suggestion he switch positions for the second time in two months.

Joined by Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and president Sam Kennedy, Henry flew to Kansas City on Friday to address the firestorm after Devers blanched at moving from designated hitter to first base following a season-ending knee injury to Triston Casas.

Devers, who signed a 10-year, $313.
