State of the Red Sox: Third base

Up next in our look through the Red Sox organization heading into spring training, we move to the hot corner, where the team’s hottest young player seems to have taken control of the position for the foreseeable future. The future is so bright, the organization’s top position prospect may be shifting positions because third base is occupied.

Starter
Rafael Devers

  • When the Red Sox needed an offensive boost last season, their biggest addition was a 20-year-old kid with nine games of Triple-A experience. Devers spent the first half of last season in Double-A, and his offensive performance was so impressive that the Red Sox brought him to the big leagues after only a brief cameo with Triple-A Pawtucket.
