The Boston Red Sox are grappling with the departure of star slugger Rafael Devers, who was traded to the San Francisco Giants. Manager Alex Cora acknowledged Devers' unique talent but emphasized the need for other players to step up in his absence. Cora stressed the importance of staying focused on upcoming games, especially with a crucial series against the Seattle Mariners ahead. The situation underscores the challenges of team dynamics after losing a key player while maintaining competitive spirit.
"Raffy Devers is Raffy Devers. He's a special hitter, and we all know that. But there's an opportunity for other guys to get at-bats and contribute."
"Obviously the guy means so much to that group. Means so much for the organization, to the city of Boston. I'm not going to hide it. But at the same time, we gotta show up."
