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.

MLB insider Ken Rosenthal noted on Monday that the Red Sox entertaining a trade for a disgruntled Rafael Devers isn't 'far-fetched'.

So much has been made of the drama surrounding Rafael Devers off the field that it almost flew under the radar how incredible he was on it this weekend. Devers caused a firestorm on Thursday by blasting chief baseball officer Craig Breslow for asking him to move to third base.
