Rafael Devers has expressed strong resistance to moving from designated hitter back to first base following a season-ending injury to Triston Casas, despite being a natural fit for the position. Devers criticized the Red Sox front office for asking him to switch positions after they initially told him he would only play DH, asserting that it is their responsibility to find another first baseman. His relationship with the organization appears strained, especially as he continues to struggle defensively at third base, raising questions about his long-term position in the team.
