Devers generates controversy in San Francisco for missing training sessions<\/h2>\n\nThe arrival of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants has been marked by controversy. The Dominican slugger, recently acquired from Boston, has been the subject of criticism after missing practices at first base, where he was supposed to train with team legend Will Clark.\n\nThe incident, which has sparked debate among fans, was revealed by the Red Sox radio announcer, who detailed how Clark offered to work with Devers, but the latter did not show up for training for three consecutive days.\n\n\n

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.<\/p>Will Clark<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nClark suggested that Devers’ absence could be related to media pressure and the controversy surrounding his departure from Boston, especially the request that he take over first base, a new position for the player.\n\nAlthough Devers was initially reluctant to change positions, he stated after arriving in San Francisco that he was willing to play wherever necessary. Despite this, he has not yet officially debuted at first base during a game with the Giants.\n\nClark, for his part, has expressed his intention to work with Devers and trusts in his potential.\n\n\n

Next time you’re in San Francisco, you’ll be on first base, just so you know. Even if I have to drag you.<\/p>Will Clark<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe Dominican designated hitter seems to have left the bad moment behind, showing good performance at the beginning of July, with an average of .320\/.419\/.440, including three doubles and four RBIs in seven games. In addition, he accumulates a streak of seven consecutive games hitting.\n\nMeanwhile, his former team, the Boston Red Sox, is going through a good moment and will seek their fifth consecutive victory this Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
