@fyredogg89 @SleeperSFGiants 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice fantasy world you’re living in 😏but here in the real world Devers is a 🐶💩 player on the decline & to think otherwise is DUMB AF also if you weren’t such a 🤡 you’d know that he’s always been very swing happy since basically his rookie season 🙄

@SleeperSFGiants Devers is a professional hitter. He will get his hot streak and carry the team at some point. It would help if he had better hitters around him so he doesn't feel so pressured to swing at everything.

Rafael Devers in his last 7 games: 💥.348 AVG 💥2 HR 💥4 RBI 💥1.147 OPS Can Rafi help turn the season around?

@RustyShack6927 @nut_history or 4 those who don’t know it was Valdez being a sore loser & taking it out on Story 🤔🙄😏 just ask his former catcher with the Astros 😏

@nut_history For everyone who doesn’t know, this was retaliation on the Red Sox for tipping pitches while on base.

Why is everyone so surprised that Framber Valdez is a loser. This is the same guy that purposely crossed up his catcher Cesar Salazar and hit him after being told to step off before allowing a grand slam. Dude is a hot head and every time he gets humiliated on that pitching mound he does something very stupid.

@dcdurkel @FoulTerritoryTV bro is a TB fan enough said 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭

@FoulTerritoryTV Red Sux do nothing but complain

Tigers broadcaster Andy Dirks wasn't a fan of Framber Valdez getting ejected after the Red Sox complained. "Why don't we just complain about everything if that's how it's going to be?"

@GarettsKoch @JomboyMedia @TalkinBaseball_ not NEARLY as pathetic as the 🤡 show Detroit announcers 😏🤔

@JomboyMedia @TalkinBaseball_ Red Sox broadcasters are pathetic.

Red Sox and Tigers broadcasts had different viewpoints of Framber Valdez’s ejection

@Will462308 @JomboyMedia so Valdez getting PO @ his catcher then intentionally nailing him with a pitch bcuz he was angry @ him last yr is good baseball? 🙄🤣 ya oooook 🤦‍♀️🙄 dude’s a punk who can’t handle mistakes 😂

@JomboyMedia Story was stealing signs when he was on second, Valdez was enforcing unwritten rules. Good baseball.

@Simpsonsgetit 🤡 Valdez is a loser 🙄 he hit him cuz he was heated cuz he just gave up back2 back HR & took his anger out on Story 🤔🙄 dude’s a POS

@JomboyMedia He threw at him for stealing signs. Had nothing to do with the HR

@AlisonS13631069 @SleeperAstros I think I hear trash cans banging 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😏😏

@SleeperAstros @ColtonNumber1 They need to STFU. I avoid listening to their broadcast. The love to talk about the 2017 Astros team with Cora managing and Sox winning 18 with Apple Watches.

Bro the Boston broadcast was grilling Framber holy 😭

@mahto_deepak91 @JeffPassan uhhhhh except ESPN BR the OFFICIAL MLB account Fox Sports & the OFFICIAL Red Sox account nice try AI😏

@JeffPassan Alex Cora is still the manager of the Boston Red Sox—there’s been no credible report from ESPN or other major outlets that he (or coaches like Jason Varitek) has been fired

The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell ESPN. While the Red Sox won today, they are 10-17 and in last in the American League East. Massive change is coming in Boston.

@VICKIE_1208 @JeffPassan not mid season bro🙄 it’s barely a month into it 🤦‍♀️🤔 check your facts

That’s a huge shake-up 😳 Firing Boston Red Sox staff including Alex Cora and Jason Varitek mid-struggle shows how serious things have gotten. A 10–17 start and last place in the AL East definitely puts pressure on leadership, even if they just picked up a win. Still, that’s a lot of change at once—could either reset the team or make things even more unstable short-term. Curious to see who they bring in next and how the clubhouse responds.

@Edrith_Sunnah @JeffPassan not mid season bro🙄 it’s barely a month into it 🤦‍♀️🤔 check your facts

That’s a massive shake-up 😳 The Boston Red Sox don’t usually make moves this drastic mid-season, so this shows how serious things have gotten. Letting go of Alex Cora and key staff despite a win today? That’s a clear message. At 10–17 and sitting last in the American League East, they’re not waiting around. Big reset energy—now the question is whether it sparks a turnaround or signals a deeper rebuild.

@FilledwithJoy4 @JeffPassan not mid season bro🙄 it’s barely a month into it 🤦‍♀️🤔 check your facts ✌🏻

@JeffPassan That’s a full reset mid-season—Boston Red Sox clearly aren’t waiting around at 10–17. Big gamble to shake up the entire staff now.

@ColsonMuse @JeffPassan 🤣🤣🤣🤣 bruh the White Sox r just as 🗑️ 🙄 nice delusion u got going there 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣

@JeffPassan White Sox clear by so much over that trash organization in Boston

@Kkeelann @BOSSportsGordo 👍🏻 THIS!!! THANK YOU 😂 I’ve been saying this 4 a while 😏 he needs to sell the soccer team at least & then sink the $$ into the Sox

@BOSSportsGordo Look what happened with Francona, the only manager in history to be 8-0 in the World Series. That said, I think the biggest problem is an owner who has his hands in too many other pieces of pie: EPL, NHL, NASCAR...If he would just concentrate on one and sell the rest...

All can be true: 1. Alex Cora is one of the premier baseball minds in the sport and accomplished incredible things as Red Sox manager. One of the best they’ve ever had. 2. If you power rank the Red Sox problems this year, AC isn’t close to the top of the list. He wasn’t the one that left the Red Sox without any power. He’s not out there with a sub-.600 OPS. He’s not out there with a 9.00 ERA. 3. That said, the team is dramatically underperforming expectations. Most had this as a playoff team, they’re not close to that. 10-17 and ranked near the bottom of almost every stat imaginable. It’s a results business. 4. A fresh voice is sometimes needed. Cora managed 7+ seasons, and a lot have been tough ones with unnecessarily subpar rosters provided to him. It can be taxing, and it definitely was starting to look like he wasn’t as happy on the job as he once was. 5. It’s Breslow’s team now. He pushed Cora and all of his guys out. Blame was undeniably placed. If the team doesn’t turn it around with those guys out the door, you can guess where ownership is gonna look next.

@sfgeros @BOSSportsGordo was it Breslow who brought in Weissert in the 3rd game against the Yankees when we had the lead & then proceeded to lose us the game? NO 🙄was it him when he brought that same 🗑️ pitcher in during MULTIPLE games we could’ve won but we lost bcuz of him? NO IT WAS 🐶💩CORA 🤔

Most jd this as a playoff team?!?! Are you high?! This team was bad before they ever stepped on the field and they just prove it every night! Where is the promised big bat, where are all the promised big players we were going to get in the offseason…that’s not Cora’s fault…that the three up top. But yet they are still there. This whole thing is like shitting your paints and changing your shirt!

@J01455660 @NSnMFootBall @BOSSportsGordo bruh if that’s true then y did the Sox get obliterated by the Yankees in the WC series last year? 🤔 answer CORA IS 🐶💩 NOW🙄he WAS a good playoff manager in ‘18 & ‘21 after that he became 🗑️ 😭 harder bro

@NSnMFootBall @BOSSportsGordo I think Cora is the best playoff manager I've ever seen but totally agree that all these other issues were becoming too glaring. It's been so bad for so long.

@RobBolduc2 @BOSSportsGordo 👍🏻 This !!!! FACTS 😏 THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH 😏👍🏻

Absolutely terrible take Gordo. Showing your inexperience and drunkenness for Cora. Cora through an objective lens is nothing more than an average MLB manger. By no means is he a genius. His in game instincts are atrocious, he can’t manage a bullpen, mistreats the young guns, and is a cheater. He won a WS with a loaded team…about 50 other guys could have e done the same.

@Younglucky50811 @BRWalkoff @BleacherReport bruh Cora’s been mid since 2022 🙄 the whole reason y they brought him back after ‘20 was ONLY bcuz of ‘18 🙄‘21 was a fluke proven by the fact he couldn’t do💩with the team for the next 4 yrs until last yr & he STILL couldn’t do💩then either this move has been a LONG time coming

@BRWalkoff @BleacherReport Fire Cora mid-season after one bad April? Red Sox ownership wildin' 😭 2018 champ gets the boot while the roster's been mid for years. Next up: trading the entire team? #RedSox

Boston has fired manager Alex Cora, along with hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, per Jeff Passan The Red Sox are cleaning house

@SLAMBAMMAJAMMA @umpirejimmy @Pete_Collins_ not true about Devers he ❤️ Boston up until b4 last season when they brought in Bregman without consulting him &then pushed him to DH & that’s when it all started to break down 🤔✌🏻

@umpirejimmy @Pete_Collins_ bogaerts contract is horrible for the padres devers is whatever. I don’t think he ever seemed to like it in boston.

Mookie Betts hitting a 3-run bomb for the Dodgers and all I can think is how normal that used to feel at Fenway. Absolute franchise malpractice by the Red Sox to let a homegrown superstar like that walk.

@purdyfc then you should start using other social media cuz it’s gonna be a while 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not tweeting until Rafael Devers hits a homerun.

@RudyRomo707 what that 💩 don’t tell u is about personality & integrity & that’s 2 things he doesn’t have anymore 🤔 he’s a “me 1st” person now & doesn’t care about the team or other players anymore

G- Dig into your sources. Is Raffy Devers "Damaged Goods"? He looks clueless at the plate. And is there a question as to his real age? Thought for 39s A: No, Rafael Devers (aka "Raffy") is not "damaged goods" in any permanent or career-ending sense—he's still a high-impact power hitter with elite offensive upside—but he does come with real durability flags, positional limitations, and periodic ugly slumps that can make him look "clueless" at the plate.baseball-reference.comAge first: There is zero credible question about his real age. All official records, MLB.com, Baseball-Reference, Wikipedia, and every biographical source list him as born October 24, 1996, in Sánchez, Dominican Republic (he turned 29 in October 2025 and is 29 now). He signed with the Red Sox in 2013 as a 16-year-old international free agent, debuted in the majors at age 20 in 2017, and every age milestone (World Series at 21, 1,000 hits before 28, etc.) lines up perfectly with that birthdate. No passport discrepancies, no age-adjustment rumors, no Dominican age-scandal chatter in any recent reporting or historical searches. The "he looks older" jokes you sometimes see online are just fan banter about how long he's been around, not evidence of anything shady.en.wikipedia.orgOn the "clueless at the plate" part: Yes, it has happened again early in 2026. Through the first couple of games of the 2026 season (as of March 28), Devers is hitting .125 (1-for-8) with 3 strikeouts and an ugly .250 OPS. That echoes his nightmare 2025 opener with Boston: an 0-for-19, 15-strikeout stretch that was historically bad and had everyone panicking. High whiff rates in the zone, swinging at pitches he normally punishes, and an extremely open, aggressive stance that can look lost when timing is off. He has recovered from these before (he heated up in 2025 and still posted a full-season .252/.372/.479 with 35 HR and 109 RBI across 163 games), but the visuals are painful when it's happening. Analysts have noted his swing mechanics and plate approach can get out of whack, especially against certain pitching or when he's not 100% physically. espn.com Injury/durability history ("damaged goods" label): Devers is not a constant IL guy like some stars, but he has a pattern of nagging lower-body and shoulder issues that have cost him time or forced him to play hurt:2024: Multiple shoulder flares (left shoulder inflammation ended his season early) plus knee soreness. 2025: Disk injury in his lower back (played through it mid-season after the trade to the Giants) plus other tweaks. 2026 spring training: Left hamstring tightness that lingered into the season; he's been DH-only early on as a precaution. He still logged a full 163 games in 2025 and produced, but the back/shoulder/hamstring combo has led some analysts and fans to call him "damaged goods" in fantasy circles or trade talk—especially after the messy mid-2025 trade from Boston. That deal (Devers to SF for prospects including Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks, etc.) came after reported friction over moving him off third base to DH/1B. The Giants inherited the rest of his massive long-term contract (through 2033) and are using him mostly as DH/occasional 1B because of defensive concerns and injury management. sportsforecaster.com Bottom line: The "damaged goods" tag is overblown hyperbole from slumps, the trade drama, and the big contract, but it's not baseless—nagging injuries and positional/DH reliance reduce his overall value compared to his peak Red Sox years. Offensively, though, he's still a .350+ OBP, 30+ HR guy when right, and he has bounced back from every early-season disaster so far. Early 2026 struggles are a small sample; the track record says he'll be fine once the hamstring settles and the timing clicks. No age fraud, just a 29-year-old star who's had some physical wear and tear but remains a very good (if not quite superstar) player.
