Rafael Devers, the 27-year-old third baseman for the Boston Red Sox, expressed his desire for the franchise to enhance the roster during the offseason. Devers emphasized the need for adjustments to put the team in a better position to win, acknowledging the collective goal of winning shared by players and the organization. Despite his impressive performance last season with a .271 batting average, 33 home runs, and 100 RBIs, the Red Sox finished last in the AL East with a 78-84 record.

While the Red Sox made some moves, including signing Lucas Giolito and acquiring Tyler O'Neill and Vaughn Grissom, Devers believes there are still areas that require attention. Boston ranked sixth in team batting average and ninth in OPS but struggled with a 4.52 team ERA, ranking 21st in the majors. Devers hinted at undisclosed needs that are apparent to those familiar with the organization and the game.
