Red Sox fans, hold onto your hats! The highly-anticipated day is almost here as Boston's star slugger, Rafael Devers, is set to make his spring training debut this Saturday against the Atlanta Braves. After a season full of speculation and excitement, this year promises to be no different.

Manager Alex Cora recently shared that while the team has a general idea of where three-time All-Star Devers may fit in the lineup, he’s keeping the details under wraps. According to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, Cora expressed a desire to let Devers get some time on the field before making any final decisions on his position for the season.

Cora stated, "We have a pretty good idea, but let’s just let him play. We’ll see how we are at, see how the other part of the roster goes. We want to build up and see what works best." For Saturday’s game, Devers will take the designated hitter role as the team evaluates the dynamics of the roster.

The buzz surrounding Devers intensified after the Red Sox signed former Gold Glove winner Alex Bregman. Initially resistant to a position change, Devers eventually indicated he would be open to playing wherever he’s most needed to help the team. Cora noted Devers's positive attitude, saying, "He expects a better season. He expects this team to be fighting for the World Series. That’s perfect."

The conversations between Cora and Devers have remained private, but it's clear that the 2018 World Series champion is eager to turn the doubters into believers. "He actually said he was sad because of what people thought about him," Cora shared. "But he’s in a good spot and ready to play."

As Opening Day approaches, one question remains—what position will Rafael Devers ultimately claim? Stay tuned as the excitement unfolds, and prepare for what many hope will be a season filled with triumphs and unforgettable moments for the Red Sox!
