Devers said the conversation took place Friday with manager Alex Cora and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow.
The Red Sox have a logjam at third in the wake of signing Bregman to a three-year, $120 million deal.
Cora indicated Friday that no decisions have been made regarding the infield alignment.
“He has a lot of pride,’’ Cora said of Devers. “We know that. He feels like he’s the third baseman. He’s going to work out as the third baseman. And we’re going to make decisions accordingly. Here, it’s not about Bregman or Devers or Cora. It’s for the Boston Red Sox. Whatever decision we make is going to be for the benefit of the team.”
