Red Sox's Devers Struggles Amid Roster Changes

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has had a rough start to the 2025 season, beginning 0-8 with seven strikeouts after being moved to designated hitter to accommodate new signing Alex Bregman. Devers had previously signed a 10-year deal in January but now faces pressure to perform after Bregman's $120 million contract and strong performance. The Red Sox are optimistic about their roster, bolstered by offseason acquisitions like Bregman and standout rookie Wilyer Abreu, who made history on Opening Day by hitting two home runs. Meanwhile, top prospects Kristian Campbell, Roman Anthony, and Marcelo Mayer are expected to make an impact, although Anthony and Mayer will start the season in Triple-A. Former Red Sox player Bobby Dalbec's struggles continue, as he failed to secure a spot on the Chicago White Sox's roster, raising questions about his future in the league. Overall, the Red Sox are looking to capitalize on their new talent and high expectations for the season ahead.
