However, when first baseman Triston Casas suffered a ruptured tendon in his left knee last week and was ruled out for the season, the Red Sox again needed some help. The team approached Devers about a switch from DH to first base to replace Casas. His response? More of the same.

The Boston Red Sox trading star infielder Rafael Devers at some point down the road "isn't all that far-fetched," according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

After Triston Casas was ruled out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, Devers was asked by the Red Sox to take over defensive duties at first base, which is something he's never done for Boston at the MLB level.
