After nine seasons in Boston (2017–2024), in which he was a key player in the 2017, 2018 and 2021 postseasons —including his historic three-run home run against Justin Verlander in Game 5 of the 2018 American League Championship Series—, Devers now sees the orange and black colors while his former teammates wear the red uniform.

“It will definitely be weird seeing him in those colors, simply because he was here for so long and was a big part of this franchise,” admitted Boston shortstop, Trevor Story. “But when the game starts, it’s just about winning: him for his team, and us for ours.”

The Red Sox manager, Alex Cora, emphasized the importance of staying focused on the series:

“Rafael is a great player and this reunion is very recent, so it will feel strange. But both teams have a job to do. Let's play and try to win”.

One of the most anticipated duels could take place on Saturday, when Devers faces his compatriot and friend, the right-handed pitcher Brayan Bello, who warned:

“We won't talk about baseball before the game, but the plan is to attack it and try to get it out.”
