Boston Red Sox owner John Henry, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, and president/CEO Sam Kennedy met with Rafael Devers in Kansas City following his comments about a potential move to first base. The discussions, described as “productive,” focused on Devers’ reluctance to switch positions after Triston Casas’ season-ending injury. Despite Devers’ firm stance against playing first base, Breslow indicated that conversations regarding the situation would continue, with Romy Gonzalez starting at first for the series opener against the Royals.
