| Quote: | Rafael Devers tells Red Sox he won't move to play first base
Rafael Devers is the Boston Red Sox's designated hitter.
And he's not interested in another position switch.
Speaking with reporters for the first time since Triston Casas was ruled out for the season after rupturing his left knee tendon and undergoing surgery, Devers said on Thursday that Red Sox management approached him about the idea of filling in as Boston's first baseman.
Devers, a three-time All-Star, said he doesn't see it in his best interest to make another position switch after being asked to move from third base to DH during spring training after the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to play third.
| Quote: | "They came to me and talked to me about it," Devers said after homering and driving in two in Boston's 5-0 win over Texas.
"I know I'm a ballplayer, but at the same time, they can't expect me to play every single position out there. In spring training, they talked to me and basically told me to put away my glove.
I wasn't going to play another position other than DH. Right now, I don't think it would be an appropriate decision by them to ask me to play another position." |
Devers said he spoke with Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow about the prospect of playing first in Casas' absence.
For now, Boston is filling the first base spot with a platoon featuring Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro.
| Quote: | "He [Breslow] played ball. I would like to think that he knows that changing positions isn't easy," Devers said through Red Sox interpreter Daveson Perez.
"They put me in this situation. They told me they didn't want me to play any other positions."
|
Devers offered a suggestion to Breslow, who pitched 12 major league seasons and was a key member of Boston's bullpen when the team won the World Series in 2013. Breslow is in his second season leading the Red Sox's baseball operations department.
| Quote: | "Now, they should do their jobs essentially and hit the market and look for another player. I'm not sure why they want me to be an in-between," Devers said.
“Next thing you know, someone in the outfield gets hurt and they want me to play in the outfield. I know the kind of player that I am, and that's where I stand." |
Asked about changing his mind in the event the Red Sox receive little production from the current group of first basemen, Devers reiterated that he's a full-time DH.
He also said he was upset that Boston would consider having him take over a position where he has logged zero innings as a big leaguer.
| Quote: | "They told me that I'm a little hard-headed, but they already asked me to change [positions] once. This time, I don't think I can be as flexible," Devers said.
"I don't feel they stayed true to their word. They told me I was going to play this position, DH. Now they're going back on that." |

GREAT team player! 
Your reminder that they traded a generational superstar talent away, only to turn around and pay this fat clown a little later. |

| Who would have thought Knack would give up 0 runs and Yamamoto would give up 5? |

And one who said, "Need a shortstop? I'm your man! I'll put in all the work necessary to learn this position," at that. |

| Dodgers need to put up some run early in the game to relief some pressure from the pitching staff. its night and day different when pitching with a lead. |

Pitchers have to learn to pitch under both conditions. The regular season is just training for the playoffs anyways.
If we struggle to pitch from behind, then it might be good practice for us.
Not saying I want us to fall behind, just saying if it happens, at least it’s good practice. |

| Roki can't command his splitter, and to make matters worse, he paints one to Marte for strike 3 and the ump calls it a ball. Then a leadoff walk. Ugh. |
