Derosa is spot on. Miguel Cabrera, Bryce Harper, Jim Thome. All changed positions and it wasn’t this big of a deal. Do you want to help your team or not? Simple as that.

Grown ups in the room? He’s a damn multi millionaire grown up in that room. Be better. Be someone a kid can look up to, not the kid in the corner pouting.

A player is an employee...a coach is a supervisor...the employee goes where the supervisor says to go...this isn't rocket science. If the player doesn't like it? He can get his ass parked on the bench, he's not running the show. WTF is happening here?

Unless his contract states he won’t play 1B then there should be no asking. You play where they put you or you don’t get paid.

ugh cmon Sox, do better.

Entitled millionaire

Imagine getting paid 300m over a decade to play a sports but instead they complain and pout like it’s a death sentence

Yeah, sorry I know this is gonna upset a lot but this is on the Red Sox not Devers

NHL network? What are we talking about? Devers is a professional baseball player who’s played 3B his whole life. Moving over to 1B to help the team isn’t some crazy, totally foreign concept.
