It’s no secret that Boston Red Sox designated hitter and former third baseman Rafael Devers is off to a slow start. Amid the offseason controversy over the addition of Alex Bregman to play the hot corner and Devers being forced into a DH role, the lifelong Red Sox has not seemed too pleased with his organization.

A nightmare start to the 2025 season is over for Rafael Devers. The Red Sox DH broke out of his slump with a two-hit night for Boston in the a 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Devers entered the game 0-for-19 at the plate this season,

Ramirez was referencing Devers being moved to designated hitter this offseason after starting his career as a third baseman.
