The New York Yankees were named as a potential trade suitor for former Boston Red Sox and current San Francisco Giants slugger Rafael Devers.

The Boston Red Sox signing Gold Glove winner Alex Bregman at third base forced him to move to DH, something he was openly upset about in spring training. Then, things with Boston reached a fever pitch when Devers then refused to play first base after a season-ending injury to Triston Casas.
