Boston’s Red Sox star Rafael Devers, rocked feathers when he seemed to be resistant to the abandonment of the third goal to Alex Bregman, whose defensive measures make him the best man for the post, when spring training started.
The initial reaction was an immediate debate among fans and experts, the main subject being the Relation of Devers with Bregman, which Boston signed with a contract of $ 120 million over three years in free agency.
But it was clear from the start that the manager Alex Cora would do what is best for the Red Sox, and his last comments on Devers confirm how the season will start in terms of who plays where.

Cora told journalists on Wednesday that Devers “would probably not get a third goal match before the end of spring training.
In turn, Devers probably heads for the opening day as a full -time -time striker for Boston.

Devers first declared that he had a conversation with the brass team and expressed his wish not to participate in this role.
“The third base is my position,” said last month of his interpreter. “This is what I played. I don’t know what their plans are. I know we had a conversation. I clearly showed my desires, and yes, whatever happens here, I don’t know.”
Although it is not to deny Devers has confidence in all its baseball capacities, which the Red Sox surely likes in their room Cornerstone, he had a more team -oriented response after his initial comments have become viral.

“I’m ready to do what I want me to do,” said journalists later in training in the spring. “I’m here to help. I’ve already told them about it, and they know where I’m. I’m just ready to play.”
Devers is a third basic player in the stars three times, but his metrics – minus six outdoor outs of the average compared to the six withdrawals from Bregman – have never been the best. He said he trained hard in the position, but when Bregman signed, it seemed that the designated striker was the place where the Deves would move.
However, the first goal player Triston Casas added fuel to the comments of Devers, saying that he thinks that the third goal is the place of Devers to claim, and Bregman should play the second goal, which was open for a replacement.

But the Red Sox clearly showed their state of mind before the 2025 campaign, which they should do the playoffs after not having done so in 2024, Bregman playing the third goal of spring.
Bregman has also not seen representatives to the second goal.
