MLB rumors: Boston Red Sox All-Star reportedly nearly demanded trade amid spring training dispute.THANHDUNG

It’s been a tension-filled spring training for the Boston Red Sox.

The drama started after the Red Sox signed two-time All-Star and Gold Glove third baseman Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract, with opt-outs after the first and second year. Boston, obviously, already has an All-Star third baseman in Rafael Devers, who ranks among the worst defensively in baseball. He’s committed 141 errors in eight seasons and has either led the American League or all of baseball in errors seven times. During his time in Boston, Devers has hit 200 home runs and 255 doubles, with an .856 OPS, 126 OPS+, and 22.5 bWAR.

When asked last month if he would move off third base to accommodate Bregman, Devers emphatically stated he wouldn’t relinquish the hot corner and become the team’s designated hitter.

However, his tune changed after speaking to reporters on Thursday, including The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey.

“We spoke already, and I’m good to do whatever they want me to do,” said Devers through translator Daveson Perez. “I’m here to help. I’ve already spoken with them about that, and they know where I stand. I’m just ready to play.”

Devers has yet to take the field this spring as he’s still strengthening his shoulders following last year’s injuries that shut him down late in the season.

Despite Devers’ apparent change of heart, a team insider reveals that the three-time All-Star nearly forced his way out of Boston.
