Summary
Rafael Devers sparked controversy after refusing to accept a pinch-runner in the ninth inning, signaling the substitute back to the dugout — a move that forced him out and drew fire from media and former players as a selfish, insubordinate act. Despite manager Tony Vitello’s defense, citing Devers’ competitive spirit and recent soreness, the incident adds fuel to his rocky season and trade deadline woes, especially with Statcast showing he’s not the speedster the team needed to replace him.
