The Red Sox are considering rookie Kristian Campbell for the first base position to alleviate some roster constraints. With Triston Casas out for the season, Campbell has begun practicing at first, aligning with the team's idea of nurturing his development while potentially paving the way for promoting Marcelo Mayer from Triple-A. However, manager Alex Cora emphasizes that this transition is experimental and not directly linked to Mayerâs position change, highlighting the challenges associated with moving players around in the infield.
We're taking a chance here. All this talk about, 'This guy can play first,' and this and that, I can give you five examples why it didn't work the last five years.
This is not a commitment. This is introducing the position to the kid. We believe that athletic-wise, he can do it but there's more than just standing there and catching the throws.
