Devers won't play 1B

Devers says he won't play 1B to cover Casas' injury. $30+M a year for the next 9 years isn't enough to do what it takes to help the team?

I just gotta love Willson Contreras and his can-do/will-do attitude.

I saw this last night. For $30M per year, he should definitely play first IMO.

He gets paid anyway. What is Boston going to do if he says no?

Going from Catcher to 1B is like a dream come true.
As far as Devers, a case of when entitlement becomes a team cancer.

Pretty silly.
He's not a GGer (-21 run value and a -28 OAA for his career. This includes a very positive 2019 where he had a +13 and +18 respectively. So he's been really bad every other year).
He's not on the HOF track.
He's already banked his big-time contract.
I'd be mad if I were a Red Sox fan.
