Red Sox’s legends have different opinions regarding the player’s treatment in his movement towards San Francisco Giants.

The aftermath of change of Rafael Devers from Boston Red Sox toward San Francisco Giants By four players, they are still feeling and some former team players have already issued their comments about it.

Probably, none of the opinions that have been issued so far are more different and contrary than those of two legends of Boston, Manny Ramírez and David Ortizwho have two completely separated visions about what happened and how it was handled.

In the case of Ramírezwho had his own problematic story with the Red Soxwho ended up camb Los Angeles Dodgers In 2008, he pointed out that the handling given by the team to the entire situation with the player, left much to be desired.

Devers was humiliated (By the Red Sox). It is not a matter of pride or ego. I think the team did not respect or communicated well with him. I’m sure Roger Clemens didn’t do that. I can’t imagine the Yankees telling Aaron Judge: ‘Now we will move you to receiver‘”, said Ramírez to the Dominican journalist Héctor Gómez during a live broadcast on the Instagram social network.

However, Ramírez pointed to the team also the situation was even more complicated because Devers He did not have a guide that could help him travel through the situation with the team.

Devers needed to have people who advise him there in the team. I tell you because I really wasn’t right. David and Pedro bump me to advise me, but I was so bad, that I never let me advise and David Ortiz looks at how Boston has come out. He let himself advise. Most Latinos do not go well from the teams“He added Ramírez During the conversation with Gomez.

Ortizon his side, he has directly responsible for Devers of the way things were given indicating that their exit was due to ego issues.

No one is indispensable in a team. The only way to become indispensable is to do things well, in all aspects. You need to be available. I think that marked the end of the relationship between the Red Sox and Devers. You have to be intelligent. The worst enemy of a player is his ego. And what do the teams do with your ego? They buy it“, said Ortiz In a telephone conversation with the journalist Yancen Pujols on the morning of Monday, June 16.

There are players who believe we are larger than the game and the game is over 100 years old. What company pays you 300 million so that you do what you want. They told me “jump” and I jumped; “Ruede” and I rolled, that’s why I am a hall of fame and in Boston they love me because I was an employee, this is a business, it is not your home, it is not about what you want or do not want, this is a business (…) Devers could have been the face of the Red Sox franchise”He said Ortiz During the aforementioned transmission with Gomez.

Ortiz He added that he did everything in his possession to help Deversbut this simply and simply, was not advised.

You do not imagine the times I wrote to Devers to try to advise him, but unfortunately, he has communication problems. I almost never returned the messages, but I don’t blame it, he is a good guy, but he definitely has to improve communication“added the”Big Papi”In the conversation with Gomez.

So far, Devers He has not given statements regarding his departure from Red Soxwhile the team had a press conference in which it indicated that the Dominican’s departure was essentially given because “Visions could not be aligned”With the player and the environment that seeks to create the organization for the future.
