Reasonable minds can agree that both Rafael Devers and the Boston Red Sox's decision-makers have made missteps this year. The Red Sox should have been much more up front to Devers about the probability of moving him to designated hitter.

Rafael Devers was urged to move back to third base to help the Boston Red Sox play Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell at their natural positions.

Rafael Devers is drawing a lot of criticism for his refusal to play first base after Triston Casas got hurt. Now, a Red Sox legend is coming to his defense.
