Phillies floated when Rafael celebrates the trade option with Red Sox Drama

Will the Rafael drama push him out of Boston?

The Red Sox and the Star -Infield were all season thanks to two inquiries about Devers to change the positions.

This has led to speculation that the two could ultimately only participate in the third season of a 10-year contract of $ 315 million.

Enter the Phillies.

Philadelphia became a frustrated racket from a series of outlets as a possible trade destination for devers due to the fights of Alec Bohm on the third base and team president Dave Dombrowski.

Dombrowski was in the Front Office of Red Sox when the Devers and Red Sox 2018 won the World Series.

Bohm beats with a Homerun and 12 RBis this season .248 and was the subject of trading rumors from last season.

The 28-year-old devers was moved against his wishes to a designated striker during the spring training session after the Alex Bregman team signed a three-year deal of $ 120 million.

After a 0 to 19 start into the season on the plate, Devers found his groove and had a solid season in his new role.

Then Triston Casas suffered an injury at the end of the end time when he broke his patellar tendon on May 2 and asked the Red Sox to ask the deer to switch to the first basis.

That didn’t go well.

“I know I’m a ball player, but at the same time you can’t expect to play every single position out there,” said Devers reporter about a translator.

“In spring training they spoke to me and basically told me that I should put my glove away, that I would not play a different position as DH. At the moment I just have an appropriate decision from you to ask me to play a different position.”

Devers also aimed directly at the head of the Red Sox, Craig Wroclow, and said that he did not understand some of the decisions he made.

This prompted the Red Sox owner John Henry to fly to Kansas City – where the Red Sox took over the Royals – for a meeting.

“He expressed his feelings. John did the same,” said Red Sox manager Alex Cora about the meeting. “I think the most important thing here is that we try to achieve something big here. And obviously there are changes to the squad, situations that have happened and you have to adapt.”

Nick Sogard and Abraham Toro played the first basis for the Red Sox against the Royals, Boston took two out of three.
