Red Sox Weigh Trade Options for Rafael Devers Amid Position Conflict

The Boston Red Sox are facing a potential crisis with third baseman Rafael Devers, who has made it clear he will not switch positions to accommodate newly signed Alex Bregman. The team may risk alienating Devers if they attempt to move him to designated hitter, leading to speculation about a possible trade. Various sources have linked Devers to potential landing spots including the Chicago Cubs, who are looking for a star third baseman to bolster their lineup, and the Detroit Tigers, who could benefit from adding Devers as a central figure in their lineup as they aim for future success. First baseman Triston Casas's recent comments in support of Devers could further complicate the situation, as they might upset the Red Sox management after their significant investment in Bregman. With differing opinions on roster decisions, the Red Sox face a challenging offseason ahead. If Devers's dissatisfaction continues, the team could be forced to explore trade options sooner rather than later.
