NEW YORK — Rafael Devers has made a habit of not talking to the media this season. Especially after losses, but sometimes even after wins. It’s a pattern that has been swept under the surface during the Red Sox’ unprecedented rise and predicted fall this season.

If the Bregman signing doesn’t pan out, Boston could have their eye on the Brewers' current shortstop, Willy Adames. Adames would make a lot of sense for the Red Sox since Trevor Story has faced his fair share of injuries and has not been able to live up to his expectations.

Since emerging with a hard-fought 53-43 record (.552) at the All-Star break, the Red Sox have experienced multiple reversals. Coupled with the struggling pitching and defense, Boston has sustained three separate four-game losing streaks, as well as the recent five-game skid.

After the Red Sox’ fourth straight loss Tuesday night, Rafael Devers made reporters wait for him for an hour postgame, only to then leave without talking. Alex Cora addressed the incident on The WEEI Afternoon Show on Wednesday.
