We now know one imagined possibility is off the table, but the Red Sox are still working things out at first base.
Rafael Devers made it apparent after Boston’s resounding victory against the Texas Rangers on Thursday that he had no desire in taking Triston Casas’ spot. Devers has switched positions once this season, and while moving to first base would improve the Red Sox’s performance, the three-time All-Star is determined to remain the designated hitter.
If Boston loses confidence in the Romy González-Abraham Toro platoon, what will it do? After the Red Sox won for the second time in a row, Alex Cora shared his thoughts.
According to The Boston Globe, Cora told reporters, “We have some capable guys in Triple A that can play the position.” “We’ll simply go on to the next one. That’s how it operates.
If the Red Sox used their farm system to get first base help, it’s unclear who would be the first to be called. Since Boston management is not interested in drastically altering the development plan for the team’s top prospect, Roman Anthony is not anticipated to be considered.
The Red Sox will, however, make do with the players currently on their roster. When Boston travels to Kansas City for a three-game series this weekend, González is anticipated to make his comeback following his brief injury hiatus.
