Kevin Millar doesn’t seem too broken up about the Boston Red Sox moving on from Rafael Devers.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Boston shocked the rest of Major League Baseball when it shipped Devers to the San Francisco Giants for what seems to be a light return.<\/p>\n

Millar, a former World Series champion with the Red Sox who is part of NESN’s broadcasts, doesn’t seem upset the team got rid of its best hitter.<\/p>\n

During an event Sunday night, Millar was on a microphone and took a shot at the now-departed designated hitter.<\/p>\n

“You have to have guys that’ll do anything for the W,” Millar said. “And unfortunately for [Devers], something, there’s a roadblock that he didn’t want to go. He didn’t want to go to first base… Whatever it is.”<\/p>\n

It would appear Devers wore out his welcome with the Red Sox. Getting rid of the $250 million left on his contract appears to have become a priority, especially after he refused to play first base after his switch to designated hitter in spring training.<\/p>\n
