Giants' Ron Washington to Mentor Rafael Devers at First Base

San Francisco Giants' new infield coach Ron Washington is tasked with developing Rafael Devers at first base, a position that caused "huge controversy" for Devers with the Boston Red Sox last season. The Red Sox traded Devers, 29, to the Giants after he reportedly refused to switch positions midseason, with the Red Sox criticizing his actions. Washington, known for successfully transitioning Scott Hatteberg to first base, will apply similar coaching methods to help Devers, who is already familiar with infield play, adapt to his new role.
