"Through the first month of the year, Devers has been one of the worst players in all of baseball, and that isn't hyperbole. After Thursday's disaster of a doubleheader, Devers is batting .207 on the season with only two homers, six total extra-base hits, 11 RBI and one of the worst OPS in the majors."
"To say the Giants expected more would be an understatement. He was supposed to be the anchor of the lineup, their best hitter since Barry Bonds."
"Most of those are big, big problems for the Giants, who still have Devers for a long time at a big cost. He's owed around $230 million after this year."
Rafael Devers was acquired by the San Francisco Giants to address their need for a middle-of-the-order impact bat and a superstar player. However, his performance has been disappointing, batting .207 with only two home runs and a high strikeout rate. Devers has struggled to make hard contact and hit for power, leading to concerns about his long-term impact on the team. With a contract extending until 2033, the Giants face challenges as they expected him to be a key player in their lineup.
