Rafael Devers is open to moving from third base to designated hitter for the Boston Red Sox if they can sign Alex Bregman. Recently, Devers showed support for a podcast discussing this potential shift, indicating his willingness to adapt. While Red Sox management initially dismissed the idea, voices from the organization have softened, with Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow acknowledging Devers' offseason work but remaining open to changes.
Though connected to Bregman, the Red Sox's interest seems to be diminishing as they explore other options, including Nolan Arenado. Devers has struggled defensively, ranking low among third basemen, and acquiring a player like Bregman or Arenado would not only enhance the team's defense but also allow Devers to focus on hitting, where he excels.
