Alex Bregman Named Red Sox Third Baseman, Devers Shifts to DH

The Boston Red Sox have officially named Alex Bregman as their starting third baseman for the 2025 MLB season, a decision that has resulted in Rafael Devers transitioning to a designated hitter role. This change comes after Devers initially expressed strong reluctance to move from third base, where he has played nearly 1,000 games. Manager Alex Cora emphasized that the decision was made with the team's success in mind, noting that Devers has been understanding of the shift. Both players maintain a positive relationship, and Bregman has stated that winning is their mutual goal. The move aims to leverage Bregman's defensive capabilities and maximize Devers' offensive potential in the lineup. The Red Sox are looking to improve their standings in the AL East with this revamped roster strategy.
