Fort Myers, FLA. – It would be the interesting time to be inside the Rafael Cap deters right now.
When you arrive at Fenway South for the first complete training in Red Sox Spring Monday, it will do so without an iron grip in the first place for the first time in six years. Deters, which has done 942 starting to the position of the Red Sox since its debut in 2017, It seems to be in a real danger of giving the place to newcomer Alex Bregman even if no decision has been made yet.
On Sunday, manager Alex Cora kept the door open for Bregman to start the second base or the third base for the Red Sox, and he was asked about the mentality of Devers, who has not talked to journalists since the end of the Regular season of 2024.
“It’s happy that we have Alex,” Cora said. “In this situation, probably what you will get … When the short film, the Dodgers took to Cesar Izturis. I was like,” man, this sucks “. Then, over time, I did the things and started in Play in second place and I did what I had to do for the Dodgers.
Apostle, as Cora said, it is expected that Monday will have its availability of the start of spring. It has been at the Fenway South installation and for weeks, arriving long before the positions of the position had to report (some notables did not arrive until Sunday). On Sunday, it was at the complex, probably for physical intake, but it was not hand for Bregman’s press conference, which was well assisted by list members (including multiple position players).
When the Red Sox signed Bregman at the beginning of the week, it was assumed that he, despite being a third basketball throughout the time with Astros, would take care of the second. A little surprising, Cora and the Basketball manager Craig Breslow have not made a promise. According to Masslive on Saturday, an organizational wish to find a way to bring the maximum potential Kristian Campbell (Mainly a second basketball) On the list has the club that is considering playing Bregman in third place in a play that would almost certainly be a detour to the role of the designated elementary school. Interestingly, Cora revealed on Sunday that he prefers to commit Bregman in a position, whether the second or third place, and not to move during the regular season. He would not shake hands if the deters will be considered in another position as the first base.
“I don’t want to move (Bregman),” Cora said. “He is willing to do it, but lately we have been moving people and does not work. So he is OK, and he can probably do it, I think he will be elite in second, even in the short and Elite in the third. A place will help everyone else. “
(Bregman, an ancient point of view, often takes the ground in position, but it is not a real consideration in the position).
It has always been offensive to Boston, but he has fought on the defensive side of things, often placing. For more than half a decade, she has worked hard with coaches to improve her glove and sometimes has shown an improvement. However, replacing the Streaky defers with the winner of the Gold Glove in the third base is clearly attractive to the Red Sox.
If Bregman plays the third and Campbell is the main headline in the second, it is difficult to imagine towards, who likes to play in the field, getting a lot of time here. Given its recent history of injuries, it may not be a bad thing for the Red Sox. Devers treated the pain in the right shoulder all by 2024 and injured his left shoulder in a Colorado diving play just after the All-Star pause. That second injury caused prolonged offensive struggles before the Red Sox finished the season before it was located on the list of injuries.
“His swing changed from that moment,” Cora said. “He could not be up to date on speed. He was uncomfortable to launch -it was difficult for him to go out. “”
The transfer of to DH could reduce the wear and tear on his body and reduce the risk of injury, but Cora said on Sunday that he has also hurt the bat.
“We have thought of things like this, but their injuries occur,” the manager said. “The only thing that has happened to play defense was last year when hit. The elbow on 21, not related to defense. We want Raffy to play. We know it. We’ll talk about it and go there . But I do not think that one has to do with the other.
Averse, he did not do much baseball activity during the winter, as he let his shoulders be healed, he will be behind other players as the camp starts fully. It has not yet been launched, but there is a lot of time for it to stand before the day of the inauguration on March 27.
“He is taking dirt balls and all of this,” Cora said. “The shoulders, today they have reviewed. This is the only thing we need to make (AMB) adjustments. But as far as the swing is concerned, it is good, but we need to make sure that our arm is ready to go.
“The low season was to rehabilitate its shoulders, so it is behind it in this regard.”
In the meantime, the number of devout will need to throw once the season begins, it is the biggest question that the Red Sox has.
“If we have to make decisions, we will talk about it later,” said Cora.
