Is Rafael Devers About to Become a Gold Glove First Baseman?
05/15/25 • 52 min
Could the Red Sox be preparing Rafael Devers for a major position switch? 2007 World Series MVP Mike Lowell thinks a move to first base not only makes sense but could unlock Gold Glove potential. In this episode, Lowell explains why Devers might thrive at first, how quickly the transition can happen, and what it takes for players to accept a new role. He also discusses clubhouse dynamics, Devers’ continued offensive production amid the drama, and shares personal reflections on watching Liam Hendriks battle back from cancer. Plus, he shows off his jersey collection, including a prized Pete Rose autograph.
Back on the field, the Red Sox are at a crossroads. The team has gotten off to a shaky start and fans are starting to worry. We dive into the struggles of Garrett Whitlock and Tanner Houck, and what Walker Buehler’s impending return means for the rotation.
Could Garrett Crochet go head-to-head with Chris Sale in the debut of the new City Connect green jerseys this weekend? Find out on 310 To Left with Tom Caron and Alex Speier, presented by your New England Ford Dealers.
