Red Sox Face Uncertainty Over Infield Roles Ahead of 2025 Season

Boston's offseason acquisitions, including Alex Bregman, raise questions about third base and second base assignments as spring training continues.

The addition of Alex Bregman, a Gold Glove-winning third baseman, has created a positional conflict with incumbent Rafael Devers, who is unwilling to switch positions.
Manager Alex Cora has yet to finalize the infield lineup, leaving the roles of Bregman, Devers, and other infielders uncertain with Opening Day approaching.
Despite Bregman’s initial openness to playing second base, he has played exclusively at third base during spring training, suggesting he may remain there.
The Red Sox have bolstered their roster with key signings, including pitchers Walker Buehler and Garrett Crochet, aiming to improve their pitching depth after recent struggles.
Young prospects like Marcelo Mayer, Kristian Campbell, and Roman Anthony are making strong impressions in Triple-A and could contribute to the major league roster later this season.
