Red Sox could cut ties with Rafael Devers
Digest more
Rafael Devers and the Boston Red Sox are marred in controversy over his unwillingness to play first base. The Atlanta Braves know a thing or two about this.
When the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman for third base in the offseason, Devers moved to designated hitter. And when first baseman Triston Casas suffered a season-ending knee injury earlier in May, Devers was asked to play first, a switch that would better fit the roster construction. His response? Not interested.
The Boston Red Sox could look to trade superstar infielder Rafael Devers in a blockbuster deal with the Washington Nationals.
The least-complicated way would be for Rafael Devers to come to the conclusion that $313.5 million brought the Red Sox the right to tell him to move to first base.
On the field at least, the Red Sox did not seem like a team impacted at all by the Rafael Devers melodrama over the last two days. They picked up their biggest series win of 2025 in Kansas City.
