The Red Sox’s recent signing of Alex Bregman has created a bit of a logjam at third base, and it seems Rafael Devers isn’t too happy about the possibility of moving positions. Devers has made it clear that he wants to stay at third base, while manager Alex Cora is saying that no decisions have been made yet.
This situation is further complicated by the fact that the Red Sox have a couple of promising middle infield prospects, Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer, who are close to being major league ready. Moving Bregman to second base would block their path to playing time, while keeping Devers at third raises questions about the team’s defensive alignment.
The Red Sox are in a tough spot. They want to keep Devers happy, but they also want to put the best possible team on the field. It’ll be interesting to see how they resolve this situation and what it means for the future of their infield.
