Red Sox manager Alex Cora has repeatedly stated that Rafael Devers will be the team's designated hitter in 2025. Despite Devers taking ground balls and speculation regarding a possible return to infield positions, Cora insists it's not happening. The narrative surrounding Devers’ position has intensified, especially after Triston Casas’ injury and Alex Bregman’s recent quad strain. While there's talk about Devers potentially returning to the infield, both Cora and president Sam Kennedy have emphasized his role as a DH, emphasizing the team’s current lineup strategy.
"We talk, but he's my DH," Cora told reporters when asked about Devers taking ground balls.
"We know that when the time is right and we need him, he'll be there," Kennedy told NESN's Tom Caron on Wednesday.
