The Red Sox's management of Rafael Devers and Masataka Yoshida poses a dilemma, particularly as Devers adjusts to a designated hitter role after significant investment. With Devers signed to a $313 million contract, the team needed to shift him from third base, which they accomplished by considering Alex Bregman. However, the relationship with Yoshida remains unaddressed, as he ended up in Worcester due to a shoulder injury while being blocked from playing DH. This ongoing situation illustrates the complexities of roster management and player positioning.
The Red Sox invested $313 million in Devers, who must eventually transition to DH, complicating the coexistence with Yoshida, who's also reliant on that position.
The front office's half-measure in roster construction led to an unhappy Devers, not properly addressing Yoshida's situation, leaving him stranded in Worcester.
