Thu Mar 20 22:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Red Sox’s Bregman Signing Creates Third Base Logjam, Devers’ Future Uncertain
**BOSTON, MA** – The Boston Red Sox’s recent $120 million signing of Alex Bregman has thrown their infield into disarray, with star third baseman Rafael Devers’ future with the team now uncertain.
While Devers initially resisted a position change following Bregman’s arrival, he has since stated he is willing to “do whatever they want me to do,” according to an MLB.com interview. However, Manager Alex Cora revealed that Devers will likely not play third base this spring training, fueling speculation about a potential trade.
Devers’ limited spring training appearances, hampered by shoulder problems, and his absence from the upcoming exhibition games in Mexico only add to the uncertainty. Reports suggest Devers even considered requesting a trade himself, despite his public acquiescence to a potential DH role.
Cora’s announcement that Devers won’t see time at third base this spring, coupled with Devers’ injury and the trade rumors, casts a significant shadow over his long-term prospects with the Red Sox. While the team hasn’t confirmed any trade plans, the situation remains highly fluid as Opening Day approaches. The Red Sox’s infield situation, once seemingly stable, has become a major talking point heading into the new season.
