Red Sox Face Internal Tensions Over Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman Third Base Dispute

Rafael Devers resists a position change as Alex Bregman’s arrival creates uncertainty for Boston’s infield alignment.

Rafael Devers has publicly stated his refusal to move from third base, creating a dilemma following the Red Sox's acquisition of Alex Bregman.
Manager Alex Cora has indicated that Bregman will start at third base during spring training games, further complicating the situation.
Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow has downplayed the issue, suggesting the team will find a resolution organically, though tensions remain evident.
Speculation about potential trades involving Devers has emerged, but no formal trade demands or decisions have been made at this time.
Criticism has surfaced regarding the Red Sox's handling of the situation, with concerns about team chemistry and the treatment of franchise cornerstone Devers.
