“Guys were just shocked,” Story said. “Everybody was trying to wrap their minds around it.

SAN FRANCISCO — If you were expecting the reunion between Rafael Devers and the Red Sox to be awkward, it didn’t play out that way at Oracle Park on Friday night. At least not as far as he was concerned. Devers took questions from reporters early in the afternoon and answered nearly every one about the Sox with some version of, “That’s in the past.”He revealed that he saw some of his former teammates when the Sox got to town on Thursday night and was glad to be back among some old friends.
