00:00Either keep your mouth shut or or say look I'm gonna compete for that job
00:05I'm not just giving it up, but what you don't do is say. Oh, no, there's no shot. I'm not playing third
00:10What do you mean? Yeah, I don't care who's here. I'm Rafi. I'm Rafi. That was a mistake
00:14Meanwhile, the only adult in the room was pregnant. Yeah, no said
00:18Wherever you need me. Yeah, what do you need me to do? Yeah, I got it
00:22You know, it's you want me make Fenway Frank's to whatever you need
00:25I got and I thought that was the right way to handle it. I'm more confused by this whole thing
00:32Big picture because Alex Cora from the jump
00:35Has always said listen like if we bring in someone like a Bregman
00:42I can move him around in the infield. I can play him at second base. It's it's no big deal
00:47Rafi's our third baseman Cora's always said that and so somehow we ended up here
00:52So I'm just like what was behind the scenes what was lost? Where did we go wrong?
00:58I thought it was always
00:59Rafi's at third now all of a sudden this becomes this big thing and Rafi's all in his feelings
01:04So I'm kind of looking at Cora like where did you lose the messaging along the way?
01:10Yeah, what was the communication like with Devers this time because from the outside we knew they were interested in Bregman
01:16That's right. So how did they not know that that might be a reality Cora's talked about that?
01:21Yeah winter meeting stuff like way back. Oh, yeah, like hey if we bring in Bregman
01:26Rafi's our third baseman. So what happened something something changed there and when Cora brought up the line about cuz somebody asked me like well
01:33Was there any agreement like when he signed his contract? He's like, well the guy signs contracts in st
01:37Louis right when he said that I was like man
01:39It's the first time Cora's really yeah willing to move him from third base, which we have not really heard
01:45But also I feel like the way Devers has gone about it is
01:50If he ultimately moves off a third base, it's such a bigger deal than it would have been
01:54Yes, if you just moved him to DH
01:56I think a lot of Red Sox fans like okay, right and they wouldn't have even like look badly at him
02:02You've been like, all right, the guy's a really good hitter
02:03Yeah, this is a franchise that had David Ortiz as a DA so we actually respect that position. That's right
02:09And now it's gonna be like man that was against his wishes
02:12How pissed is he like that's gonna kick and scream about it
