Devers' 2025 season was a whirlwind. In his very first interview with the press in spring training, Devers indicated he would not be willing to move to designated hitter to accommodate the arrival of Alex Bregman to the Red Sox lineup, saying "third base is my position." While Devers changed his tune and opened the year at DH, he butted heads with the front office again in May when it asked him to replace the injured Tristan Casas at first base, with Devers refusing. Before long, Devers would be gone from the organization, dealt to San Francisco in mid-June in what was essentially a salary dump. Devers totaled 20 homers in just 90 games after the trade, bringing him to 35 for the season, although his overall numbers were down a bit with the Giants as his strikeout rate jumped to close to 30 percent. Ironically, Devers ended up making 28 starts at first base for San Francisco, gaining eligibility there for 2026. He's now in a notoriously pitcher-friendly home park, but Devers, a three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger, has already had time to adjust and should be more settled in and comfortable by the start of the upcoming campaign.
