Devers' position uncertain for Red Sox Opening Day

The Boston Red Sox are facing an important decision about Rafael Devers' position for the upcoming season. There are questions about whether he will remain at third base or take on the role of designated hitter. Initially, Devers was firm about not wanting to leave third base, where he has played throughout his career. However, he later expressed that his priority is helping the team win games. Reports suggest he was upset enough about the situation to consider asking for a trade. This worry grew after the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman, a Gold Glove winner who is ready to play anywhere on the field. Manager Alex Cora spoke openly about his discussions with Devers. He emphasized the need for honesty. Cora noted that he arrived early to spring training specifically to connect with Devers. He acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding Devers' position but stressed that Devers is currently in good spirits and performing well. Cora indicated that Devers might not start as the third baseman on Opening Day, but no final decisions will be made until the lineup is confirmed on March 27. He also praised Devers for being honest in interviews, which Cora encourages in his players.
