KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lucas Giolito had on a blue T-shirt that said “Win The Day” on the back as he puttered around the clubhouse preparing for his start against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. It was good message for a pitcher, especially one who didn’t get through four innings in his previous start.

Will the Boston Red Sox do anything drastic involving Rafael Devers? Probably not. There is a very near zero percent chance that the Red Sox would make a move this season involving Devers, even with the drama of the season so far.

That’s no longer the case as the Red Sox ask him to learn an entirely new position. There exists at least the potential for Devers to flub chances and not dig out throws and cost his team games. And even if that doesn’t happen, Devers could fear it might.
