NEWTON, Mass. (AP) — The Boston Red Sox should just leave designated hitter Rafael Devers alone and let him decide if he wants to start playing first base, Hall of Famer David Ortiz told The Associated... The Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a $120-million, three-year contract in spring training and told Devers he was going to be the fulltime DH. NEWTON, Mass. — The Boston Red Sox should just leave designated hitter Rafael Devers alone and let him decide if he wants to start playing first base, Hall of Famer David Ortiz told The Associated Press. The Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120-million contract in spring training and told Devers he was going to be the fulltime DH.

That was, until first baseman Triston Casas was lost for the season after rupturing a tendon in his left knee and undergoing surgery in early May. Speaking at his charity golf tournament — the David Ortiz Soiree of Hearts — the former Red Sox slugger said any move should be up to Devers. “He’s doing great as the DH. They asked for it, and he’s doing great as the DH,” Ortiz said. “Once (the) Casas situation goes down … In people’s minds, it was: ‘Devers goes to first and (Masataka) Yoshida goes to DH and we are a better team’. Yeah, that’s what you put in your mind.

But guess what? The kid was asked in a spring training to just hit and now all of a sudden you want to switch him over. It takes time.” NEWTON, Mass.

NEWTON, Mass. (AP) — The Boston Red Sox should just leave designated hitter Rafael Devers alone and let him decide if he wants to start playing first base, Hall of Famer David Ortiz told The Associated... MLB Hall of Famer and Red Sox veteran David Ortiz weighs in on Rafael Devers’ situation with the Red Sox this season. Rafael Devers has channeled his inner David Ortiz with his recent performance as the Boston Red Sox' designated hitter, though he has yet to emulate the Hall of Famer in the field.

Ortiz played 278 games as a first baseman in his illustrious 20-year career. Devers, on the other hand, called out the Red Sox front office after being asked to move from DH to first in the wake of Triston Casas' season-ending injury. The difference is that Devers already reluctantly moved from third base to DH before the season. The three-time All-Star took issue with the team asking him to return to the infield after telling him to put his glove away.
