'Pigs squeal': Rafael Devers may need to lose weight to break out of historic slump, says Jonathan Papelbon
Briefly

Rafael Devers of the Boston Red Sox has made history with 12 strikeouts in his first four games, marking an unprecedented start to the MLB season. With an alarming 0-for-16 batting record, former Red Sox pitcher Jonathan Papelbon speculates that Devers may be out of shape, suggesting he should lose some weight to regain his hitting prowess. Devers himself claims to feel comfortable at the plate despite limited spring training due to a shoulder injury, which raises concerns about his overall fitness and readiness for the season.
"Maybe [Rafael Devers] is out of shape... Maybe we gotta trim a little bit of fat... Know what happens when you trim fat? Pigs squeal... You trim fat, pigs squeal. That's what you're looking for- your pigs to squeal. They hit home runs." - Jonathan Papelbon (h/t: @gfstarr1)
