After the third base man signed from the star Alex Pragman, Boston Red Sox could face a hot corner problem, where Rafael Davars explained on Monday that he had no intention to give up this position.
Davars, 28, said that he will not be the DH) in Boston, even if the team asked him to move to the first rule or become DH.
“The third rule is my position,” Davars said through a translator in the Red Sox camp in Fort Meers, Florida. “That's what I played. I don't know what their plans are. I know we have a conversation. I have made it clear what my desires are, and yes, whatever happens from here, I don't know.”
Davars said that the conversation conducted on Friday with director Alex Cora and chief baseball officials, Craig Briclo.
Red Sox Logjam has third place in the wake of Bregman's signature on a three -year deal worth $ 120 million.
Kora indicated on Friday that no decisions were taken on the alignment of Infield.
“He has a lot of pride.” “We know that. He feels like a third rule man. He will work to work as a third rule. We will make decisions accordingly. Here, it is not a matter of Pragman, Davars or Cora. It's for Bostu Red Sox. Whatever the decision we make will be in favor of Team.
Devers never started a game in the positives other than the third, while Bregman 107 started in The MAHORS in Shortstop and two in second place.
But Pragman is a defensive base much higher than Davars.
Last year, Devers -9 ended defensive payments and a war -6 war on defense, according to Fangraphs, while Bregman had been rescued six defensive runs and a defensive war of 8.1.
It is possible that the most complicated things for Boston are the truth of the best Cristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer on the way and you may need sites in the field soon.
Devers enter the second season only from a 10 -year contract, 313.5 million dollars signed before 2024 and said Monday that his defensive future has been discussed at that time.
“It was definitely discussed when I signed [would] Davars said about his place in third place. “I don't know the reason for the change, but I know I am working hard to defense.”
Even last season, Cora and Peslo indicated that Davars will remain in third place, but that was before they pounced and fell in Pragman last week.
Devers added that he was suspended by conversation about the possibility of switching places with Bregman.
“I definitely surprised,” said Davars. “I am a person who believes in the word of people and takes it seriously. It is very surprising that they will suggest it.”
When asked if he was “disappointed”, they came to him with suggestions, Davars said, “From the beginning, I knew this is a work. I do not think this is the right way to do business.”
He insisted that he will not move.
“It is my decision,” said Davars. “My position is the third rule. All they want to do is what they want to do. But my position is the third rule.”
