Boston Red Sox fans already know how hard Rafael Devers can Devin Grosvenorhammer a baseball. On Tuesday, they found out how hard he can hammer the front office.

The All-Star third baseman offered some pointed comments about the team's lack of offseason additions as he met with reporters in Fort Myers, Fla.

“They need to make an adjustment to help us players to be in a better position to win," he said through a translator. "Everybody in this organization wants to win. We, as (players), want to win. I think they need to make an adjustment to help us win.

“I'm not saying that the team is not OK right now, but they need to be conscious of what are the (weaknesses) and what we need.”

Other AL East division rivals made big splashes on the trade market this winter, with the Baltimore Orioles adding former NL Cy Young award winner Corbin Burnes and the New York Yankees acquiring star outfielder Juan Soto.

Last year at this time, the Red Sox signed Devers to a 10-year, $313.5 million contract extension, but despite a season in which he hit .271 with 33 homers and 100 RBI, the team finished last in the division with a 78-84 record.

This offseason has been a mixed bag. The Sox signed right-hander Lucas Giolito to a two-year, $38.5 million deal and acquired outfielder Tyler O'Neill and infielder Vaughn Grissom in trades. However, they dealt outfielder Alex Verdugo to the Yankees and traded away left-hander Chris Sale to Atlanta for Grissom.

“Everybody knows what we need," Devers said. "You know what we need, and they know what we need. It's just there’s some things that I can’t say out loud. But everybody that knows the organization and knows the game knows what we need."
