Speaker 1: It's around the park with Dave Fleming.
Speaker 2: We're here at Fenway and we wanted to bring you
Speaker 2: some Raffi Devers. That's the big story of the weekend.
Speaker 2: Raffi was overwhelmed with requests, so we didn't talk to
Speaker 2: Devers one on one. He did talk to the whole
Speaker 2: group of Boston and San Francisco media members in the dugout.
Speaker 2: We're going to bring you that conversation now. The voice
Speaker 2: you're going to hear mostly is Giant Spanish language broadcaster
Speaker 2: Erwin A Geros. He was translating for Raffi, who was
Speaker 2: first asked today about his feelings coming back to Fenway Park.
Speaker 1: No, very happy to be back.
Speaker 3: I know that the fans were very good to me, so.
Speaker 1: So I'm very happy to be back.
Speaker 3: A lot of memories came back. This is my first
Speaker 3: organization that I've been to and I only been in
Speaker 3: San Francisco, so obviously being here first, there are so
Speaker 3: many many memories, good ones and bad ones.
Speaker 1: Raffie, what do you think the what do you think
Speaker 1: the crowd reaction? Really good to it?
Speaker 3: I don't know what to expect. This is my first experience.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're going to cheer or I
Speaker 3: don't know if they're going to boo, So I really
Speaker 3: don't have an answer for that.
Speaker 1: Very most excited to see it over there.
Speaker 3: Very happy with all of them, as you know, I'm
Speaker 3: friends with everything Rafaela. Very very happy that they're doing
Speaker 3: really good. Now, if you.
Speaker 1: Could do anything over again, would you would you change anything?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: After RAFFI, after a little bit more than a year
Speaker 1: now to kind of think about things, how do you
Speaker 1: feel about yourself as a baseball player? Have you changed?
Speaker 3: I feel really good. I think it's been a year.
Speaker 3: I think I have my chur during the year. I
Speaker 3: think that I had learned as an athlete. There's going
Speaker 3: to things that are going to happen, and would you
Speaker 3: have to do just move forward and learn from that.
Speaker 1: Was it strange walking into this side of the park.
Speaker 3: You have to understand that that's in the past. I
Speaker 3: mean I have done it in another stadiums already. It
Speaker 3: does feel strange coming on the other side, but it's
Speaker 3: baseball Raffia. Had you ever been in that clubhouse, the
Speaker 3: visitors clubhouse inside it before?
Speaker 1: No? First time? Were you surprised that has smallerness? Not American? No?
Speaker 1: Not at all.
Speaker 3: I was told that it was very.
Speaker 1: Small when you look back at that would end it.
Speaker 1: Is there any sadness that had ended that way? Any
Speaker 1: What are your remotion kind of that whole process.
Speaker 3: No, Like I said before, I don't want to think
Speaker 3: about the past. I don't want to talk about the past.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, we're all men, We're all
Speaker 3: grown ups. We have to understand this is the business
Speaker 3: of baseball. But at the same time, you make mistakes
Speaker 3: and you have to move on and mature.
Speaker 1: Played a lot of first base this year. How have
Speaker 1: you enjoyed that role with the Giants?
Speaker 3: Every single day that I play first base, I feel
Speaker 3: very comfortable. I want to thank Washington for working with me.
Speaker 3: I had a lot of support here, so I feel
Speaker 3: very comfortable.
Speaker 1: Ralphie, is there any extra pressure to do well here
Speaker 1: in this park? This weekend? Hit went off the Monster
Speaker 1: over the Monster, that sort of thing. I'm not even
Speaker 1: thinking about that. I'm missing middle middle right now.
Speaker 3: I'm missing all of my pitches, so I'm just hoping
Speaker 3: that I do well today.
Speaker 1: How comfortable are you as a Giant? How's it different
Speaker 1: than than it was with Boston?
Speaker 3: I can't compare the only thing I can say is
Speaker 3: that this is my team. I'm very comfortable. They have
Speaker 3: supported me, they have trusted me, and I'm just hoping
Speaker 3: to continue doing well for them. Sometimes players talk about
Speaker 3: when a schedule comes out, they see something like this.
Speaker 1: And they circle it on the schedule.
Speaker 3: Was it like that for you when the schedule came out?
Speaker 3: Did you go to Boston? Well, like I said before,
Speaker 3: you know, I move on. I turned the page. I
Speaker 3: knew that this day was going to come. But I'm
Speaker 3: mature now and it's just move on and just enjoy
Speaker 3: the moment. How much did it help that you played
Speaker 3: them last year almost right after the trade?
Speaker 1: The same thing.
Speaker 3: I really don't think about it. I'm a baseball player.
Speaker 3: I love playing baseball, and the only thing that I'm
Speaker 3: concerned about right now is just helping my team. He
Speaker 3: was asked if he ever thought about coming back to Boston.
Speaker 3: He answered that that's something that he doesn't control. He
Speaker 3: doesn't have an answer for that. That's a baseball decision.
Speaker 3: And right now he's concentrating in San Francisco. This organization
Speaker 3: that istorying and very well.
Speaker 1: Right now, we're your message to Red Sox Fantasy.
Speaker 3: Simply want to say thank you very much for all
Speaker 3: the support they gave me through my years here and
Speaker 3: there will be always specially my heart. When you think
Speaker 3: about the nine years that you spent year as a
Speaker 3: big leader, how would you like fans to remember the
Speaker 3: type of player that you were. I believe no, but
Speaker 3: I guess what I would like to say is that
Speaker 3: I played baseball the right way, I played very hard,
Speaker 3: and that I always give one hundred percent for the team.
Speaker 2: It's a big story here in Boston, and I'm really
Speaker 2: glad we got to hear from Devers about his return
Speaker 2: to play the Red Sox. We'll keep going with our
Speaker 2: pregame right after this
