The press conference is over & here are some interesting (to me) takes from it:

1) Devers was very diplomatic in his response to questions about how he felt about leaving Boston, refusing too pour gas on the fire by saying negative about the #BoSox.

2) Devers will be starting in the 3 spot as the DH but he said he'll play any position that management in SF wants him to play, which includes 1st base.

3) Melvin said they start him with some reps at 3rd& will then give him some reps at 1st which they'll do gradually since he hasn't had any infield play time this year at 3rd (which was his regular position) & because he has never played 1st.

This is an interesting transformation in perspective for Devers from Boston to SF.

What happens to Flores & Smith if Devers takes over 1st is a big question? 🤔

Whisenhunt in AAA Sac is also being mentioned as a possibility at 1st, even tho he's a pitcher.

Posey was asked about Whisenhunt & said that Devers aware of this but wouldn't say any more about it. 🤷‍♂️
