Giants could make funniest Rafael Devers decision in revenge series against Red Sox

Well, this is awkward.

Remember Sunday night, when the Boston Red Sox shocked the baseball world by trading Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants?

Well, it's Friday now, and the Red Sox are in San Francisco for a three-game series.

Devers has been the DH so far for the Giants, like he was in Boston, but there's a catch: Devers and the Giants seem open to him playing first base, which wasn't the case with the Red Sox.

So now, the Giants could make everyone in the baseball world chuckle a bit (well, maybe not the Red Sox fans).

For the sake of the meme, Devers should start at first base this weekend, at least once.

Maybe he's not fully up to speed and needs more time working out over there to get used to the position, so from a baseball perspective, maybe there's a better way to do this.

But if Giants manager Bob Melvin has any interest in becoming a viral hero to baseball social media, this is his chance.

Devers has never played first base at the MLB level, and it's a harder position than a casual fan might think.

But eventually, someone with the hand-eye coordination of an elite hitter like Devers should be able to figure it out.

Might as well start right now, just five days after being traded, with a quick turnaround revenge matchup.
