Inside the Shocking Deal That Finally Ended the Red Sox’s Rafael Devers Saga—And What It Means for the Future
For Breslow and the Red Sox, it seems that they never forgot that Devers wasn’t willing to change positions after the addition of Bregman, despite their conviction that it would make the team better. And they also didn’t forget that Devers was unwilling to play first after Casas’ season-ending knee surgery.
Sources tell Yahoo Sports that Devers never made a formal request to the Red Sox to be traded. While this doesn’t mean that he wasn’t unhappy or frustrated, he wouldn’t have been the first disgruntled superstar to play professional baseball. Instead, Boston’s decision to trade Devers with the team in great position in the AL wild-card race indicates that they decided they’d be better off without him.
