re: Rafael Devers isn't taking the Bregman signing well

“I think it’s Raffy Devers' position,” the Red Sox' first baseman said at JetBlue Park, via MassLive.com. “I think he’s the third baseman. And at that point, that’s where it stands. He’s done it for a really long time now. And I think he’s only getting better at that position. I think his defense is getting better every single year. We don’t know what the future holds but we know it holds Raffy Devers. So I think he’s gotta play defense. It’s going to keep him athletic. And he’s going to hit because of him being at third base.

“He doesn’t know any other position. He doesn’t want to play any other position. And he’s going to fight for it even if it’s with any of the younger guys, any new guy. I think he’s the best third baseman in the league. I wouldn’t take anybody over him. So I think he should play third base.”

“I think Bregman should play second base, yeah,” Casas said. “I think he’s going to make the transition well. I think he’s athletic enough to (do it). And I think Trevor (Story) is going to play an awesome shortstop.”

Campbell, Roman Anthony, and Marcelo Mayer represent the beginning of Boston's youth movement. Each is expected to make their presence felt with Boston in 2025, but does Casas believe they belong on the Opening Day roster?

"No," Casas answered. "I think we've got some grown men up there right now that need to iron some things out. We need to show up and see what that first little taste of us all together looks like.

"I think their time is gonna come, and it could be earlier rather than later but I think for right now, the roster is beautiful. It's organized great and it's structured really well."
