Why Red Sox traded Rafael Devers: Star slugger made spring trade request as relationship with team fractured

This was different from Mookie best commerce. Greater than allowing Xander Bogaerts Walking to San Diego and gather together, to be honest, a medium profession to a date with Padris.

Less than two seasons in Raphael Davars10 years, 313.5 million dollars extending the contract, Red Sox dealtly shocked to Giants On Sunday night in exchange for some stadium and some possibilities.

Bogaerts exit? You can at least understand it. Red Sox, led by the chief former Bolom, was not about to match Padres when he threw $ 280 million over the course of 11 years. That was possible – although the club could have stopped the previous shorts much less before hitting a free agency. Now, Bogaerts may be stuck in one of the worst contracts in the game.

Betts, which was driven by Penny Pinching, led by John Henry, was in fact, could not be defended because Betts is a player in generations. The person who was for only one year of his MVP season in 2018 and the title of the World Series on the Best Red Sox Club in the history of the concession. Throughout the 2019 season, you knew it would come. Betts did not budge on his request price, and Sox did not budge either. I knew that the inevitability was on the horizon.

But this? This one cut a deep Red sox lover – not because it came after years of corrosion, but because I felt the final blow. From the outside looks, this is all understandable.

So what is the side of Red Sox of this? How did this go sideways?

For beginners, Red Sox did not correctly by failing to communicate they were targeting Alex Premran To play in the position that made his patrols – albeit as a defense – throughout the Red Sox period. As the highest paid player for the team, he was at least a debtor with that conversation.

Then Devers appeared to the camp outside the shape. When asked if he was thinking about moving to the third rule, he simply answered: “No. I’m playing third.”

Ultimately, he moved to the appointed strike, but he did not come without grip.

According to a source familiar with the situation, Devers were asked to take a basis in the third and first rule of training in the spring. He refused – and instead asked for a trade. This request put the wheels in a movement of what has become a growing gap between the best player in Sox and the front office, led by the chief baseball official Craig Briclo.

then Triston Casas It came down in May with the left garden tendon. Bresloow approached Devers again – this time the Alex Cora manager left outside so that he could play “Cop Good” at the case of Devers. He asked BRESLOW if he was thinking about playing first. Again, Devers decreased.

After that, Davars went publicly, took a bullet in Prison and said that he expected someone – especially the former player – will better understand the game.

“I am not sure of the (case) he is suffering from,” Davars said through a translator from Prisonlo. “He played the ball, and I would like to think he knows that changing positions like this is not easy. I know that I am a soccer player, but at the same time, they cannot expect me to play every one position there. In training (spring), they spoke with me and told me mainly to ask my glove, that I will not play any other position but at the present time.

Suddenly, the smiling and happy distress became a black cloud in the club, and some within the organization wanted to go.

However, this is something I assumed that the club can work through it. Red Sox are not strangers for big characters. You have dealt with the likes of Nomar Garciaparra and Manny Ramirez. Devers’ moody somewhat, PRIMA Donna Personal does not reach these two.

I discovered that the team can deal with this, given that Devers is only 28 years old. However, Blum, not Prison, who signed this deal – even had some fear. The property is reversed. They already traded Betts and they knew it was a mistake. They left Bogerts to walk. They couldn’t dare let Devers also go. Ultimately, Bloom complied with the desires of his presidents.

The players whom Red Sox returned to the deal (I know this is difficult to hear, Boston fans). Red Sox believes that this receives a bad salary and a contract for the player who produces every day, but he was scheduled to be old, given some of his customs and separation between him and the front office.

“It is time to convert the page,” one of the sources told CBS SPORTS.

We’ll see what Red Sox is doing with this empty menu.
