Wonder what exactly his contract says.
if the contract says, you will play wherever your manager tells you to play, why they bother asking him. You just tell him to play 1B and end of the story.
Devers is still a young man. IMO he’s been terrible advised. Terrible. He sucked at 3B reason why they brought Bregman in the first place. Now an opportunity to play 1B is open and he refuses to at least try and help the team while a slot at DH would be open to Yoshida or one of our youngsters.
I like Devers but this diva attitude speaks volumes how resentful he still is.
