Devers was getting jerked around by Cora and the front office.  Bloom gives him basically a lifetime contract. Bloom (and his promises) are kicked to the curb.  New GM kicks Devers square in the crotch and decides that what this team really needs is a second All-star 3B.  Devers is told to play DH.  He is told to play 1B. 
He didn't handle the pressure well but it's crazy to pretend that the front office didn't create this mess.

The Red Sox are seen as a dysfunctional organization.  Whose fault is that?
They have a long history of crapping on people on the way out.
When the Red Sox fell apart in 2011 and they were getting rid of Tito, stories about him abusing pills and his marriage troubles suddenly appearing in the news. 
Mookie has said repeatedly that he wanted to stay in Boston but stories kept being written that he wanted to leave.
If you listened to that press conference last night, it was the usual bs.  They're committed to winning and building off their impressive 37-36 record.  (Of course, they just traded away the best hitter on the team and one of the best in baseball.)

The annual rebuild continues.
