I feel Devers might do the identical. They talked all winter like that is the proper place for him to be for the remainder of his profession.”

Rafael Devers has performed third base all through his MLB profession since debuting with the Red Sox in 2017. For the 2025 season, he transitioned to the designated hitter position after the workforce signed third baseman Alex Bregman.
