The Boston Red Sox have signed two-time All-Star Alex Bregman to a three-year contract, but his exact position with the team remains uncertain. Manager Alex Cora has indicated that the infield is still being evaluated and no decision on Bregman’s role can be made at this time.
Bregman primarily played third base for the Houston Astros since 2020, but could potentially fill in at second base to keep Rafael Devers at third. However, Cora believes Bregman has the skills to excel at both positions, citing his Gold Glove credentials as a third baseman and potential to become a Gold Glove second baseman.
Another player potentially vying for a spot on the team is Kristian Campbell, an ESPN prospect who could break camp as a second baseman or center fielder after a rapid rise through the minors. If Bregman takes over at third, Devers might shift to designated hitter, with Cora expressing confidence that the lineup will remain strong.
Devers has shown enthusiasm for the team’s new additions, particularly the arrival of Bregman and other top hitters. The Red Sox are poised to benefit from this move, as they look to take their offense to the next level with a talented core of players.
