Red Sox News & Links: Kristian Campbell to first base?
Briefly

Kristian Campbell is adjusting to first base after a challenging stint in the infield as the Red Sox second baseman. Advanced metrics indicate his fielding skills need improvement, supporting the idea that his transition may assist the rise of prospect Marcelo Mayer. Meanwhile, Chris Sale's return to Boston was reminiscent for him, as he described the experience as stepping back into his childhood home. Alex Cora, the team's manager, shared memories from the 2018 World Series while also hoping for better performances on the base paths.
Flexibility is never a bad thing, and this could facilitate the promotion of Marcelo Mayer.
Cora spent part of last night reminiscing about the 2018 World Series, and relayed the story of how Chris Sale ended up in the bullpen for the clinching game against the Dodgers.
I suppose that would make Alex Cora his dad. Like any parent, Cora was happy to see Sale again and says he still roots for him.
In this case, it was some free outs on the base paths. Alex Cora would like to see the team slow things down.
