@Paul – did you miss that Devers doesn’t qualify at 3B for next year? DH only but will probably get 1B eligibility.

Oh shiiiitttt, I absolutely did! I will correct the record on the next ep. I wrongly assumed he clocked 20+ w/BOS before the trade, but as soon as I read you comment, it came flooding back to my brain that he was full-time DH! 0 games at 3B and not getting ’em w/Chapman in SF
