Rafael Devers Likely To Be Designated Hitter To Start The Season
2 mins agoBoston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) has already said that he wants to stay at third base this season. The assumption was that newly added Alex Bregman would take over third base, which means Devers would become the everyday designated hitter. The coaching staff has been mostly avoiding the issue and saying these things will work themselves out. Devers struggled on the defense last season and it would make most sense to move him to the DH spot. That would give Kristian Campbell a chance to play everyday second base in Boston. Devers might not like it, but a move to DH makes the most sense for this team going forward.
