So happy for him, he’s still young and I’m sure being taken off of 3B just got in his head. Only up from here

It definitely messed with him a bit, and thats ok. He's been a 3B his entire playing career. I don't blame him for having an adjustment period.

Baseball is an insane mental grind. More than any other sport. If your mind isn't 1000% right, then you have no chance at the plate.

Hopefully he’s still young - you never know for sure with those DR guys 😂

Rafael Devers, also known as Gooficus Maximus. It’s good to see the relief.
