00:00Mine is Devers, and I really don't get why the Red Sox won't make Devers do it.

00:07If Devers doesn't want to do it and he wants to be a baby about it and pout,

00:10I understand that.

00:11He didn't want to move off the third base.

00:13But ultimately, they did it.

00:14It was better for the team.

00:16And if you want to win games, you want to win games,

00:19not just keep everybody happy or keep your quote-unquote star player,

00:23your $300 million player happy, then you play him at first base.

00:27And if he can't hack it, Keith, and he can't field over there,

00:29well, then fine.

00:30Then you move on from it.

00:32But I would try that right now in the interim,

00:35even before disrupting Christian Campbell's season,

00:37even before calling up Anthony or Meyer or anybody like that.

00:41I think the answer is obvious.

00:42And the reason I think it's Devers,

00:44Cotillo had a tweet about this last night,

00:46and he kind of tried to back away from it a little bit,

00:48like, oh, it's not the biggest deal in the world.

00:51For what it's worth, he said,

00:53Devers does not want to talk about this for whatever reason.

00:56He's declined interview requests from the beat reporters

00:58three different times in the last 36 hours.

01:00This is last night.

01:01Face of leadership.

01:02Knowing what the line of questioning is going to be.

01:04Yeah, great.

01:04And so he probably knows.

01:05Like, it's gone miserably every time I've talked.

01:07Yeah.

01:07But why would it go miserably?

01:09He doesn't want to do it.

01:10Because you don't want to do it,

01:11and it's going to be obvious you don't want to do it,

01:12and you're a bad team player,

01:13and so that's why.

01:14I don't want to do it.

01:15I don't want to do it.

01:16I don't want to do it.

01:17I don't want to do it.

01:18I don't want to do it.

01:19I don't want to do it.

01:20I don't want to do it.

01:21I don't want to do it.

01:22I don't want to do it.

01:23I don't want to do it.

01:24I don't want to do it.

01:25I don't want to do it.

01:26I don't want to do it.

01:27I don't want to do it.

01:28I don't want to do it.
