Rafael Devers can wage his war against the Office Front of Red Sox alone.
The post-match salvo of Devers to Boston decision-makers declaring its refusal to go to the first base aroused “non-positive” reactions from its teammates in the clubhouse at the time, according to Gabrielle Starr of Boston Herald.
Craig Breslow, Director of Baseball of the Red Sox, approached deverses on a potential passage at the first basis after the injury at the end of the season of Triston Casas, the second time this year, the hitter was questioned on the travel posts after having already passed the designated shot to leave Alex Bregman Man third base.
“I know that I am a ball player, but at the same time, they cannot expect that I play each position there. During spring training, they told me about it and told me to put my glove to store,” said it on Thursday via the translator, according to the Associated Press. “I was not going to play another position other than DH. Right now, I don’t think it would be a decision appropriate by them to ask me to play another position. “
The Drama Devers-Red Sox is a complicated situation dating from training in the spring, when the team moved its local star from its position to accommodate a free agent sign for Bregman.
Devers did not particularly love being moved from the hot corner, but he made the transition.
There is now a giant hole with Casas made for the year after having broken its left patellar tendon, and the natural movement would be to move devers and open the role of one-sided striker for another player, whether on the active list or perhaps the promotion of one of the best prospects in Boston.
Boston used Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro’s uninteresting combination at the first base during his recent series against Rangers.
“They told me that I am a bit of a hard head, but they have already asked me to change (positions) once,” said Devers. “This time, I don’t think I can be so flexible. I don’t think they stayed faithful to their word. They told me that I was going to play this position, DH. Now, they go back to it.”
The teammates note that the players start first or the team first and this report indicates that Devers may not have support for the clubhouse to refuse to go to the first goal.
Many players went to the first basis during their career, even those who were butchers in this position, and some have projected that it may be where Devers ends.
Deves, however, has not yet played the position in the majors – and we all know what Ron Washington could say to those who made the transition to the first base.
“He (Breslow) played ball. I would think that he knows that changing position is not easy,” said a translator in reference to the quarry of 12 seasons of Breslow.
“They put me in this situation. They told me that they didn’t want me to play other positions. ”
Devers gave advice on how Breslow could sail better in the situation.
“Now they should do their work essentially and hit the market and look for another player. I don’t know why they want me to be an intermediary,” he said. “The next thing you know, someone in the outside field is injured and he wants me to play in the outside field. I know the kind of player I am, and that’s where I stand.”
