Rafael Devers, who was scratched from Red Sox Fenway Fest, reportedly doesn’t prioritize ‘front-facing outreach’

Rafael Devers may be the Red Sox’ highest-paid player, but he isn’t concerned with being the face of the franchise.

Boston’s star slugger was originally scheduled to appear at the team’s annual fan fest, formerly known as Winter Weekend held at Springfield’s MGM casino. But as of Friday, Devers, among several other players, will not attend the single-day Fenway Fest on Saturday.

Pedro Martinez, Kutter Crawford, Justin Slaten, and newcomer Walker Buehler were among those also set to appear at the event, but were removed from the list the day before.
