Though Bregman is a Gold Glove third baseman, he\u2019ll likely start at second because Rafael Devers refuses to switch positions.<\/p>\n<p>Devers, a three-time All-Star and offensive powerhouse, has been a defensive liability throughout his career. He\u2019s led either the AL or MLB in errors at third base seven times in eight seasons, including an AL-leading 12 errors last year. His career total stands at 141 errors.<\/p>\n<p>The optimal solution would place Bregman at third and Devers at DH, but Devers\u2019 resistance creates a dilemma. However, a top MLB insider sees a potential resolution.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-mlb-insider-top-prospect-could-force-alex-bregman-to-replace-rafael-devers-at-third\">MLB insider: Top prospect could force Alex Bregman to replace Rafael Devers at third<\/h2>\n<div>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Kristian-Campbell-25528977-788x525.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=525,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Kristian-Campbell-25528977.jpg 788w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=428,height=285,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Kristian-Campbell-25528977.jpg 428w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=196,height=131,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Kristian-Campbell-25528977.jpg 196w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=465,height=310,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Kristian-Campbell-25528977.jpg 465w\" alt=\"MLB insider reveals what needs to happen for Boston Red Sox to finally move Rafael Devers off third base\" width=\"788\" height=\"525\" \/><figcaption>Credit: Mike Watters-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to Jon Heyman, the Red Sox may find their answer if top prospect Kristian Campbell forces his way onto the Opening Day roster.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell, a fourth-round draft pick in 2023, is considered one of baseball\u2019s top-10 prospects. He has risen rapidly through the Red Sox minor league system, hitting 21 home runs with a .986 OPS in 137 games across four levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf one of those great young prospects they have, whether it be Campbell or whomever, takes hold and they want him to be the second baseman, you might have to move him because Bregman would play third,\u201d Heyman explained, calling it a \u201csticky\u201d situation.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Latest MLB Offseason Rumors with Insider Jon Heyman | MLB Insider Notebook \ud83d\udcdd\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6L611bpJYb0?feature=oembed\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Despite this potential conflict, Boston\u2019s offseason has been productive.
