Rafael Devers Struggles Offensively in New DH Role After Red Sox Roster Shake-Up

The Red Sox's decision to move Devers to designated hitter following Alex Bregman's arrival at third base has raised concerns as Devers starts the season hitless with mounting trade speculation.

Rafael Devers has gone 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts in his first two games as the Red Sox's designated hitter, raising questions about his adjustment to the role.
The Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract, prioritizing his defensive skills at third base, which displaced Devers from the position.
Reports suggest the team delayed informing Devers of the position change, leveraging his 10-year contract despite his initial resistance to the move.
Speculation about Devers' long-term future with the team has intensified, with analysts proposing potential trade scenarios involving the star slugger.
Despite the initial tension, Bregman has expressed optimism about his ability to work with Devers and contribute to the team's success this season.
