Bregman discusses Devers' third base stance amid Red Sox tension

The Boston Red Sox's recent signing of Alex Bregman has sparked a positional controversy with incumbent third baseman Rafael Devers, who insists he will not play anywhere but third base. Bregman expressed his excitement to be Devers' teammate and emphasized his willingness to play wherever manager Alex Cora needs him, suggesting a team-first mentality. Despite Bregman's superior defensive stats last season, Devers's strong commitment to the position complicates the situation, as he had been promised third base following his contract extension. Cora, however, has indicated that he envisions Bregman potentially playing second base, where he has limited experience. The team also has prospects like Kristian Campbell, who could affect their infield alignment. This dynamic raises questions about how the Red Sox will manage their infield and ensure both players can contribute effectively to the team’s success.
