Rafael Devers refusing position switch after $120 million Alex Bregman signing in Red Sox mess
Fresh off the signing of star third baseman Alex Bregman, the Boston Red Sox could have an issue at the hot corner, as Rafael Devers made it clear Monday he had no intention of giving up the position.
Devers, 28, said he would not be the designated hitter (DH) in Boston, even if the team asked him to move to first base or become a DH.
“Third base is my position,’’ Devers said through an interpreter at Red Sox camp in Fort Myers, Fla. “That’s what I’ve played. I don’t know what their plans are. I know we had a conversation. I made it clear what my desires were, and yeah, whatever happens from here, I don’t know.”
