"Trevor Story has been trending downwards defensively for a while now. He finished with -9 Outs Above Average last year and consistently struggled with throws across the diamond."
"Even if that were the case, I would still argue that Mayer should be at short when considering the long-term goals of the team."
"It's clear to me that Mayer is currently the better shortstop, and there's no reason not to put your best team on the field as much as you can."
The Red Sox are currently the worst team in baseball, and while no immediate changes are expected, a position switch between Trevor Story and Marcelo Mayer is suggested. Trevor Story's defensive performance has declined, evidenced by a -9 Outs Above Average last year. Despite the team's metrics supporting Story's defense, Mayer is viewed as the better shortstop for the future. Although this switch may not save the season, it aligns with the team's long-term goals and ensures the best players are on the field.
