Rafael Devers Is Taking Grounders… At Shortstop

Rafael Devers Is Taking Grounders… At Shortstop

Children. That’s who’s running the Red Sox. Unaccountable children who don’t have a clue what real leadership, culture, or forward thinking ability looks like. Alex Cora is currently running a clinic on how not to be a leader. His actions are looking more and more clownshow by the day. The drama around Rafael Devers takes a new twist.

No, Devers won’t play first base. He won’t play third base either, apparently. Don’t worry, Cora is having him take grounders… at shortstop.

No, this is not a joke. This is actually something that seriously happened.

We can all agree this doesn’t make a lick of sense, right? Seriously… WTF are we doing here? It’s so dumb, I don’t even have words for it. There’s only one thing to really say. Whatever the wrong thing is to do, the Red Sox are addicted to doing it. I have no idea what Alex Cora is thinking on this one, but his brain has tanked so badly that I won’t even try to guess.

Why Turning Rafael Devers Into A Full-Time DH Would Be A Mistake

Is anyone defending the Red Sox right now? Even David Ortiz is lowkey calling management out right now. I wonder what Devers is actually thinking with all of this nonsense going on. He’s still mashing at the plate, but there’s no chance he respects Breslow or Cora even 1% right now.

Quick side note: Do the Red Sox know the shift is banned, and Devers even playing in that spot has basically been outlawed in the game? Do we think they are aware of that?
