Rafael Devers is set to face the Boston Red Sox for the first time since they traded him to the San Francisco Giants last Sunday.
One of the key issues that led to the Red Sox trading Devers was that he was unwilling to play first base for the franchise. Devers was the Red Sox's longtime third baseman, until they acquired Alex Bregman this offseason and chose to have him play that position. Devers wanted to continue playing third base, but ultimately agreed to take on the designated hitter role by the start of the season.
