Rafael Devers has made headlines for vocally affirming his position as the Boston Red Sox' third baseman, despite the signing of Alex Bregman, a Gold Glove winner. While Craig Breslow, the Red Sox chief baseball officer, remains confident that the roster situation will resolve smoothly, Devers' past struggles at third base complicate matters. Devers has historically had performance issues with errors at the position, whereas Bregman has excelled defensively. Nonetheless, Devers expressed no intention of relinquishing his role, indicating the tension surrounding the team's infield dynamics as spring training progresses.
This is not the first situation where a player's been outspoken about something that they take a lot of pride in. And that's OK.
These things tend to have a way of working themselves out.
