The Boston Red Sox introduced Alex Bregman following a three-year signing, though his exact defensive position remains uncertain. Manager hasn't confirmed the infield alignment, complicating the situation with Rafael Devers wishing to maintain his third base role. Devers shifting to designated hitter would impact Masataka Yoshida's playing time, arguably valuable offensively. Bregman, a recent Gold Glove winner, has significantly superior defensive metrics compared to Devers, casting doubt on how the team will optimize their infield for the upcoming season.
"Manager made clear that the club has not made a decision on how exactly its infield alignment will shake out when Opening Day arrives next month."
"Devers, still just 28, moving to DH this early into his career would be unusual for even a defensively-limited star player."
