Rafael Devers is in no mood to undergo any more transitions this season. On Thursday, the Boston Red Sox star blasted his team’s front office and refused to play in the first base position after the season-ending injury to Triston Casas.
According to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe, Rafael Devers has rejected the Boston Red Sox’s proposal to move him back into the field. This time, GM Craig Breslow wanted him to play first base.
Boston Red Sox hitting star Rafael Devers said Thursday that he informed team management that he will not play first base in the wake of Triston Casas being lost for the season due to a major knee injury.

Be careful before you take a Twitter translation as gospel.
The job of translators in any media setting (and in sports especially), carries an untenable burden. A translator is trying to say everything the player said, but usually in a condensed sense because that’s what’s required in today’s day and age of media coverage.
I’m beginning this article with that disclaimer to say that, to the extent that any of the comments Rafael Devers made tonight...
It’s uncommon for a player to criticize his team’s front-office leader, especially for making a fairly understandable inquiry.
Rafael Devers is once again unhappy with the Boston Red Sox, and the All-Star slugger is not exactly trying to hide it.

Yes, you.
Asking if Rafael Devers should play first base now that Triston Casas is out for the year is like asking if the sun rises in the east or if the world is round. The answer is yes, and anyone who says otherwise has an axe they’d prefer to grind than see the Red Sox improve as a baseball team. With one exception, they’re not worth listening to. Unfortunately, the exception is Devers himself.
Devers on Breslow: “I’m not certain what (issue)...
Rafaela can flash some serious leather, which is why many believe it is only a matter of time before he wins a Gold Glove.
On the heels of our hitting prospects whose stock is rising piece, it’s time to look at some arms who have already turned heads through their first handful of starts.
Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers is not happy with the front office and even accused the organization of going back on their word over a recent request to him.
The Red Sox have promoted pitching prospect Jeremy Wu-Yelland from High-A Greenville to Double-A Portland, as was first reported by Hunter Noll of Beyond the Monster.
Rafael Devers had two hits, including a home run, and the Boston Red Sox used four pitchers to earn a 5-0 victory over the visiting Texas Rangers on Thursday.

20-19 heading to Kansas City!
A series victory? Who could have thought? Brayan Bello had a weird day. To quote our fearless leader Dan in the Slack channels, “Bellos been great at getting out of trouble so far. Just needs to stop the getting in trouble thing”. He only went 4.2 frames and walked himself into a lot of jams, five free bases given up alongside four hits. Somehow he worked out of every single one of them, even with the bases loaded. If he...

Another ginormous rubber game this afternoon.
What a big game before heading on a Midwest road trip. Not that the Red Sox are slumping, they’re just treading water right around .500 constantly. They got the Rangers last night, but momentum has to carry over. Can today be the win that breaks the cycle and starts and upward trend or will we still be swans kicking our feet below the water in the Public Garden?

News and notes from around Red Sox Nation.
Trevor Story has been bad this year. Pretty, pretty bad. A player with an OBP below .300 is a player who probably shouldn’t have a starting job in the big leagues unless they are truly special in the field and surrounded by a strong lineup. And while Story continues to be a good glove man, it feels like his time as the Red Sox starting shortstop is winding down while Marcelo Mayer wraps...

Two hits from Marcelo Mayer, three from Franklin Arias, and a home run from Yoelin Cespedes.

After today, the Red Sox only have two more games on a Thursday between now and the third week of August.
The Red Sox will play their final against the Rangers today, and while it won’t quite be their final game on a Thursday this season, it’s their last one before there starts to be some serious breaks on the schedule during this part of the week going forward.
Feel free to talk about whatever you would like in this thread...

Even with Triston Casas done for the season, we still haven’t seen the best version of the Red Sox lineup yet.
Almost exactly one year ago in early May of 2024, I asked the following question: How Much Longer Will Rafael Devers and Masataka Yoshida Coexist On The Red Sox?
The bubbling issue at hand was simple. The Red Sox were about to have two designated hitters, and the front office had to do something about it. From the linked...
Wilyer Abreu and Alex Bregman both went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 6-4 win over the visiting Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.

This win feels GOOD.
The Red Sox finally showed us they’re a team to root for when they’re working. A lot of great things happened tonight. The offense, backed by two primary studs (more on that below), came back from behind, the bullpen was overall nails, and Tanner Houck, while not stellar, kept us in the game. This dub was needed, for the leaderboard and for morale. It feels good to write about a win again!
