Throughout the offseason, speculation surrounded the Red Sox's third base situation with focus on Alex Bregman and Rafael Devers. Initially viewed as a second baseman, Bregman ultimately signed with the Red Sox and, due to Devers's injury and defensive liabilities, now assumes the starting role. Nevertheless, Bregman is coming off one of his weakest seasons statistically, prompting questions about his future. With a disappointing walk rate but projections indicating a possible rebound, Bregman is pivotal in navigating his new role, especially as the Red Sox consider their minor league options and depth.
The winter chatter around the Red Sox focused on whether Raffy Devers or Alex Bregman would play third base, but ultimately, it was Bregman securing the starting role.
Despite a lackluster season where Bregman posted a 4.1 bWAR and struggled with his walk rate, projections suggest a potential rebound.
With Devers dealing with a shoulder issue and defensive shortcomings, Bregman's experience positions him as a crucial asset for the team this season.
Minor league depth, including prospects like Marcelo Mayer, may come into play as the Red Sox navigate injuries and position needs.
