Alex Bregman Expected To Play Second Base
3 hours agoAccording to Jeff Passan of ESPN, newly acquired third baseman Alex Bregman is expected to play second base with the Boston Red Sox. On Wednesday evening, the Boston Red Sox signed the two-time World Series champion to a three-year $120 million contract. While Bregman has played at the hot corner throughout his career, sources indicate he will transition to the keystone. As a result, this will keep Rafael Devers at third base and Triston Casas at first. However, second baseman David Hamilton will likely shift to a reserve role. In addition, top second base prospect Kristian Campbell was in the running to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster but now could open the season at Triple-A to further his development. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the Boston depth chart throughout spring training. Bregman would become a valuable fantasy asset if he gains second base eligibility batting in the top half of a strong lineup and in a favorable park for right-handed pull hitters.
