Rafael Devers tells Red Sox he won't move to 1B, tells front office to 'do their jobs' finding one

  • On May 8-9, 2025, Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers declined management's request to play first base after Triston Casas suffered a season-ending knee injury.
  • The injury to Casas, who ruptured his left knee tendon and underwent surgery, created a gap at first base that Boston has been filling with a platoon of Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro.
  • Devers, a three-time All-Star previously moved from third base to designated hitter due to Alex Bregman's signing, insisted he remains a full-time DH and expressed frustration that Boston "didn't stay true to their word."
  • Devers emphasized he has zero major league innings at first base, said "I'm not sure what he has with me" about Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow, and urged the Red Sox to "do their job" by seeking a first baseman externally.
  • Boston's refusal to shift Devers to first base leaves the team reliant on short-term platoons and uncertain about a long-term solution at the position for the remainder of the 2025 season.
