The Boston Red Sox signed 30-year-old two-time All-Star Alex Bregman ahead of the start of spring training to bolster the team's defense and provide the lineup with another middle-of-the-order bat.
Bregman, who has played third base for most of his career, including when he captured his first Gold Glove last season for the Houston Astros, was asked about Boston's $313 million star Rafael Devers, who made it clear he wants to be the team's starting third baseman in 2025.
Bregman had nothing but good things to say about Devers, and sidestepped any perceived controversy about who will play where on Opening Day and beyond.
"I'm super excited to just be his teammate," Bregman said of Devers on Tuesday in Fort Meyers. "He's a great player. I think everyone in this clubhouse is worried about winning. Whatever it takes to help the team win, that's all I'm focused on. I'll play wherever [Alex Cora] tells me to play."
