Here’s a hot take about the hot corner – Rafael Devers is not the future at third base for the Boston Red Sox.
At least he may not be in the long run. The immediate future is more clear, as Devers will undoubtedly open the 2019 season as the primary third baseman. The question is whether or not he can stick at the position.
The 22-year-old endured a Sophmore slump this season, although that’s somewhat expected for a player his age who also dealt with nagging injuries. Devers still flashed the potential of his powerful bat and the ceiling remains high for what he can accomplish at the plate.
