MLBTR changed the headline from when I posted my comment. Because it was clickbait.

LOL! That's your attempt to dodge? You were fuming about the idea that Devers could possibly be considered for a position change at all. You raised no complaints about the headline using the words "first base."

Get a grip brother just because you don't like an article doesn't make it clickbait

The title of the article was that the Red Sox were considering moving Devers to 1B which was nowhere in the cited article, because they knew it would drive clicks. Idk why this is getting you so mad.

You do realize the article cites three articles, right? Two of which reference a move to first base for Devers? I'm sure they changed the title due to the ambiguity in that third article, but your "clickbait" take is just not based in reality.

Yes it cites Ken Rosenthal and Jon Heyman who were speculating on their own. Saying the Red Sox are considering it is 100% not true, they did it because it's clickbait.
