Devers was frustrated with Red Sox management for taking away his position at third base, then asking him to play first after an injury to Triston Casas.

The Red Sox (38–36) have won three straight series for the first time this season, capped by a sweep of the Yankees at Fenway Park on Sunday. They head into Tuesday holding the final wild-card spot (+170 to make the playoffs, per Caesars ), but the roster still has gaps.

Before finalizing the five-player Rafael Devers trade Sunday, the Red Sox reportedly had their eyes set on a power-hitting Giants prospect and were rebuffed.
