Devers appeared at the press conference and said: Willing to obey the San Francisco Giants' garrison arrangement

The San Francisco Giants hosted a media conference for new signing Rafael Devers at Oracle Park today (coinciding with his Giants debut against the Guardians that night). Devers responded strongly to the core concern: "Wherever the team asks me to stay, I will follow it. "

After the Boston guard role turmoil, Devers has reportedly expressed his desire to play to the Giants, with head coach Bob Melvin confirming today: "He told us to 'be on guard and in the play'. Today he will be assigned to hit three bats. We will arrange for first base guard training to wait for them to get used to before they can fight. "

"I am here to defend any position. "

The Giants know that no matter where they defend, their lineup will be adding heavy artillery firepower. "Today is a great day for the San Francisco Giants and the city of San Francisco," said Buster Posey, president of baseball affairs. "

With the original No. 11 (in memory of Carl Hubbell) retired, Devers switched to the No. 16 shirt. He began by thanking the Red Sox: "First of all, I am grateful to the Boston Red Sox for signing me at the age of 16 and giving me the opportunity to become a major league player" (translated by Erwin Higueros, Giants' Latin Marketing Director), and then looked ahead to the next chapter: "It's a pleasure to play for the Giants in Latin America, and it's an honor to meet Barry Bonds." "

Bond himself appeared at the press conference, as did most of his new teammates and locker room staff. The Giants haven't had a 30-season hitter since Bonz 2004, and Devers is expected to end the drought.

When asked about the public conflict over the Red Sox's late game over the line, he avoided commenting: "I'm stepping out of Boston's past and focusing on the game as a Giants. Just want to say thank you to the Boston fans – you've always supported me. "
