"But wouldn't it also make a lot of sense for Chaim Bloom — who was chief baseball officer when the Red Sox signed the extension with Devers, and in the process of succeeding John Mozeliak as the Cardinals' president of baseball operations — to do whatever it takes to get his man?" Miller says.

Rafael Devers and the Boston Red Sox are marred in controversy over his unwillingness to play first base. The Atlanta Braves know a thing or two about this.

When the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman for third base in the offseason, Devers moved to designated hitter. And when first baseman Triston Casas suffered a season-ending knee injury earlier in May, Devers was asked to play first, a switch that would better fit the roster construction. His response? Not interested.

The Boston Red Sox could look to trade superstar infielder Rafael Devers in a blockbuster deal with the Washington Nationals.

Rafael Devers’ 440-foot homer snapped a 1-1 tie and Lucas Giolito pitched into the seventh inning for his first win since 2023 as the Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 3-1 on Sunday.

Instant reactions as Garrett Crochet strikes out nine batters, Rafael Devers pitches in three hits and the Red Sox get a great all-around win in KC.
