Alex Bregman speaks out on Red Sox’s simmering Rafael Devers drama
NY Post
Alex Bregman isn’t looking to steal Rafael Devers’ position.
Bregman maintained he will play wherever the Red Sox want to employ him amid drama surrounding whether he or Devers will man the hot corner in 2025.
Devers has made it clear he doesn’t want to change positions, although Bregman is the higher-rated third baseman.
“I think everybody here believes in their abilities and I think all of us here believe if we all put together a good effort this season, we have a really good chance of being a winning baseball team,” Bregman told reporters. “For me, I can only talk for myself, but I’ll play wherever helps the team win.”
Devers is the Red Sox’s best hitter and equipped with a $331 million contract, but there are questions about whether Boston’s best roster has him at third base or elsewhere.
Bregman, who signed a three-year, $120 million deal, is the reigning AL Gold Glove winner at third base, while Devers had a negative defensive runs saved mark last season.
