News broke that Devers doesn&#8217;t want to play any position other than first base. However, Alex Cora and the Red Sox asked if he would play at first base for an injured Triston Casas. Boston&#8217;s newest addition, Alex Bregman, bumped Devers off of his original position at third base before the 2025 season started.<\/p>\n<p>Devers had a passionate response when asked about his team wanting him to play a different position. according to Fox Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I&#8217;m a ballplayer but at the same time, they can&#8217;t expect me to play every single position out there,\u201d Devers said. \u201cIn spring training, they talked to me and basically told me to put away my glove-that I wasn&#8217;t going to play any other position but DH. So right now, I just feel like it&#8217;s not an appropriate decision by them to ask me to play another position\u2026It was the GM I spoke with. I&#8217;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&#8217;t easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After hearing what their star had to say, Red Sox fans were in an uproar, demanding a trade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShould trade Devers to the Pirates..\u201d one fan said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf the Red Sox could please trade Devers and his drama to literally anyone and replace him\u2026 I&#8217;d be absolutely thrilled,\u201d another fan stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m over Devers lmao, trade his a** to the White Sox and get Teel and Montgomery back,\u201d suggested another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cim with Devers\u2026 and at the end of the day, just trade him! many other stars get their way so\u2026\u201d one fan said.<\/p>\n<p>Devers&#8217; comments continue to cause waves, and could end in him playing with a new team.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers is upset with the team asking him to play a new position because of injuries, upsetting the fanbase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":54024,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[238,46,47,44,703,723],"class_list":["post-54023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-alex-bregman","tag-alex-cora","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-mlb","tag-rafael-devers","tag-triston-casas"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
