David Ortiz believe both Rafael Devers and the Red Sox were both to blame for letting their relationship deteriorate to the point that a trade needed to be made.

Devers was traded to the San Francisco Giants amid a tumultuous season in Boston. As the Red Sox front office put it on Monday, the two sides couldn’t “find alignment” after months of disagreements over position changes. In a recent interview with The Athletic, Ortiz cited poor communication as one of the main reasons for the messy divorce.
