Devers had a passionate response when asked about his team wanting him to play a different position. according to Fox Sports.
“I know I’m a ballplayer but at the same time, they can’t expect me to play every single position out there,” Devers said. “In spring training, they talked to me and basically told me to put away my glove-that I wasn’t going to play any other position but DH. So right now, I just feel like it’s not an appropriate decision by them to ask me to play another position…It was the GM I spoke with. I’m not sure what he has with me. He played ball and I would like to think he knows that changing positions like that isn’t easy.”
