As the Red Sox faced the Royals, owner John Henry, CEO Sam Kennedy, and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow traveled to Kansas City to address Rafael Devers’ refusal to switch to first base and his dissatisfaction with management requests. Following a private meeting among Henry, manager Alex Cora, and Devers, Breslow described the discussion as an “honest and candid exchange” aimed at clarifying organizational values and communication. Devers, frustrated by the position change after transitioning to a designated hitter role, has yet to comment publicly, and the team’s players are remaining quiet on the situation for now.
