Alex Cora and Rafael Devers have both expressed reluctance regarding Devers' potential move to first base following Triston Casas' injury. Devers revealed his frustration over being asked to change positions after only a short time at third base. He conveyed his commitment to third base and surprised at the front office's suggestion, feeling it contradicts earlier discussions. Devers emphasized his desire to remain in a familiar role and questioned the team's handling of positional expectations, indicating a lack of trust in the front office's communication.
"I don't think for me personally it's the best decision after they asked me to play a different position and I only have two months of playing this position."
"Third base is my position. It's what I've played. I don't know what their plans are."
"I'm someone that I believe in people's word, and I take it to heart and yeah, it was very surprising that they would suggest moving me again."
"They had the conversation with me. To all of a sudden have me try to play another position ... from my end, it doesn't seem like a good decision."
