All they gotta do is figure out where everyone is going to play.
You acquire someone like him and you move out of the way.
A few hours later this whole thing blew sky high.
Devers adamantly stated he’s a 3rd baseman and laughed off any idea that he’d move elsewhere.
Surely music to the ears of Cora, Breslow, and the whole fanbase.
Almost stunned at the idea that there are other positions for him to go to.
Yankees biased perspective:Tremendous news all around.
It’s about time something bad happened for Boston.
Cora would go on to speak to the media and take a nice dump all over Devers' words.
That promise of him remaining at 3rd when he signed his big extension is long gone.
He got his money so now it’s time to be a team guy.
I think the strangest part of all this is that Devers wasn’t in the know.
Boston was very much looking at Bregman or Arenado late in the offseason to improve the defense and lineup.
Did they just assume he knew they would change their tune and be cool with it?
Hey I forget to do things all the time, but I also don’t run an MLB team.
Yankees biased perspective:The easy, clear move here is to trade Devers.
Trade Devers now at 28 years old in the same way you did with Mookie Betts.
Just their luck, the Yankees need a 3rd baseman!
Marcus Stroman adds some nice starting pitching depth in case you run into some arm injuries.
Ask nicely and I’m sure Cashman throws in a prospect or two.
Get David Ortiz in there to talk to Devers about being a full time DH.
Plus that contract is awfully large, John Henry.
You’re paying Bregman $40M a year, you gotta off-load something to balance it out.
Have you seen the price of eggs?
