Giants Legend Clark Says Devers Skipped First-Base Mentoring Sessions

News summary

Following Rafael Devers' trade from the Boston Red Sox to the San Francisco Giants, team legend Will Clark was enlisted to mentor Devers in transitioning to first base, a position Devers had resisted playing while with Boston. However, Devers skipped three consecutive days of first base training sessions with Clark, coinciding with the weekend the Giants hosted the Red Sox, which Clark and others believe was to avoid media attention and scrutiny from his former team. Despite the initial no-shows, Clark expressed understanding of Devers' reluctance given the circumstances but warned that future excuses would not be tolerated. Devers has only served as a designated hitter for the Giants so far, hitting modestly, while the Giants are currently holding a wild-card spot in the standings. The situation highlights ongoing challenges Devers faces in adapting to new roles amid scrutiny following his public disputes with the Red Sox over position changes. Media and insiders note that while Devers is a talented player expected to bolster the Giants' offense, his adjustment period and willingness to embrace first base remain in question.
