Controversy in San Francisco: Rafael Devers and his absence from practice
The arrival of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants has generated controversy. The Dominican slugger, coming from Boston, has been the subject of criticism after missing first base practices for three consecutive days. The player’s absence was revealed during a radio interview, where it was detailed that former player and team legend, Will Clark, offered to work with Devers, who did not show up for training.Clark suggested that Devers’ absence could be related to media pressure following his departure from Boston and the request to play first base, a position he has never occupied in his nine years in Major League Baseball. Devers, although initially showing reluctance to the position change, stated after arriving in San Francisco that he was willing to play wherever necessary. Despite the practices at first base, he has not yet officially debuted in that position during a game with the Giants. Clark, for his part, expressed his intention to work with Devers and trusts in his potential.On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday he didn’t leave early at all. He didn’t even bat on the field. Everyone apologized to me, but I understood. I didn’t take it personally.

The Dominican designated hitter has had a solid start to July, with a .320/.419/.440 average, three doubles and four RBIs in seven games, including a seven-game hitting streak. Meanwhile, his former team, the Boston Red Sox, is going through a good moment.The next time you’re in San Francisco, you’ll be on first base, just so you know. Even if I have to drag you.
