Devers tells Red Sox he won't move to 1st base

The Boston Red Sox were dealt a major loss on Friday night as part of their 6-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins ( box score ). First baseman Triston Casas ruptured his left patellar tendon after landing awkwardly on the bag during the second inning. Casas, who was carted off the field, had been attempting to leg out an infield single.
The one thing the Red Sox know about their situation at first base is that Triston Casas won’t play for the rest of the season. Casas ruptured his left patellar tendon on Friday and underwent successful surgery on Sunday that will require an extensive rehab.
Spotrac puts his market value at 12 years, $539 million. ESPN's Jeff Passan also recently had Tucker in his rarefied air of players who could sign $500 million contracts. And if the Cubs are the ones making that happen, it's pretty unlikely they'll then turn around and trade for the roughly quarter of a billion dollars left on Devers' deal.
