Devers, 28, is a three-time All-Star and a senior member of the Red Sox clubhouse who’s played his entire eight-plus season MLB career in Boston. He’s spent the vast majority of that time at third base, where he’s played 951 of his 956 MLB games.

In the offseason, the Red Sox signed Bregman as a free agent from the Houston Astros. Bregman also plays third base and is a Gold Glove winner who’s objectively better at the position than Devers. Devers is one of the worst third basemen in baseball via multiple advanced metrics, including outs above average (OAA) and fielding run value (FRV).
