Right now, the name that is on everyone's lips in Boston is that of Rafael Devers. The powerful Red Sox striker is at the heart of the news because his selfishness does not help the cause of his family.
At least he makes himself useful by hitting. That's already it.

But he is not the only player who has the letters “Rafael” in his name to make a touch of his club a bit. After all, at the moment, Ceddanne Rafaela is at the heart of certain frustrations in Boston.
Which ones?
According to what Sean McAdam reported in a paper on the subjectRafaela is often asked to show more patience in the stick and let the first shot pass.
And more than one recovery, a few minutes later, we can see him start freely. It would therefore make sure that there would be a bit of frustration about this in Boston.
"There’s some growing frustration within the Red Sox organization about outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela. More than once, Rafaela has been advised in the dugout to take the first pitch in his next at-bat, only to swing freely minutes later." https://t.co/L1E1f3DYh7

Rafaela is recognized for her defensive game, but we all know that he still has crusts to eat offensively – despite his 75 points produced last year. It would therefore have the advantage of showing more patience, in fact.
However, in the eye of the public, Rafaela does not have the reputation of a player “hard to manage” among the Red Sox.
Rafaela only plays in the center field this season, but he can also evolve in the middle of the pre-champ. He is an important young player (and his $ 50 million contract is proof of this) for the Red Sox, but with young people who push, he must give more offensively.
Will he place himself? To have.
