The Red Sox' third baseman seemed to soften his tone at least somewhat as he spoke about the possibility of moving from third base to DH.

Devers said he spoke to chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and manager Alex Cora a few weeks ago about his feelings and ultimately decided to follow their lead.

Rafael Devers told reporters Thursday that he's "good to do whatever" the Boston Red Sox want him to do, an indication that he's willing to move away from third base and serve as the team's designated hitter this season.
