The player has shown defensive in the midst of questions about being moved from position and his bad start in the season.

Rafael Devers He is in the middle of one of the worst season of his career and probably of the recent history of Major Leagues. After training in which he was bombarded by criticism and questions about not wanting to be moved from the third base in favor of Alex Bregmanin addition to not being able to act significantly because it is in a process of recovery of injuries in the two shoulders, the Dominican start has been one for oblivion.

For anyone to follow Boston Red Sox It is unknown that Devers He became the first batter to struggle ten times in the first three games of the season and it is evident that, together with the fact that he has not connected Hit yet and that the whole has lost two of its first three commitments, they cannot have anyone happy in the internal of the organization.

That is why when Devers rsponged questions from the press after the second meeting between Red Sox and Texas Rangersit was evident that he could not be comfortable with the situation, although he repeatedly assured that only two games were there and that physically, he felt good that it was the most important thing, because with health and adjustments, things are called to regulate. However, Devers He also took a defensive attitude when he was questioned about whether the change of position could have something to do with the bad start and basically told the press media to look for another issue of reporting.

“You continue with the same question. The season has already started and I think that is past (the change of position)you see where I am playing and now, we are going to change the subject because they have to look for another type of content“, said Deversobviously frustrated with the question of whether to change position has affected his work as a batter.

Although it is completely understandable that as a human being and player, Devers be tired of the questions, your attention must be on the pitch, not to tell the press what you should or should not report. Frustration, especially in the middle of a beginning for oblivion in a year of high expectations is understandable, but it is a 162 -game season, not two or three, so the approach has to be fully to be able to correct what is happening at the sports level.

Open a front, antagonizing the press, will only create a perception to the outside that will damage the image of Deverswho already saw how he suffered a blow to the statements he gave during the training on that he was not designated, but third base. The journalists will ask you questions that will not be comfortable, it depends on it if you answer them or not and in case you decide to answer, it will depend on yourself how it answers. What the player cannot pretend is that he will draw guidelines to journalists on what topics to play or which not, that is a wrong idea of ​​his part.

The enemy of Devers He is in his head, it is not the press and that is something that he has to understand soon.
