The Boston Red Sox have had a bit of drama on their hands throughout spring training when it comes to superstar slugger Rafael Devers' position in the field in the wake of the team's decision to sign Alex Bregman. On Wednesday morning, manager Alex Cora seemed to strongly hint at what spot Devers will find himself at to begin the 2025 campaign.

But manager Alex Cora picked top offseason acquisition Garrett Crochet to be the 2025 Opening Day starter. Houck, who will start the second game of the season, made the decision easy for Cora. “Talked to Tanner. He was our best starter last year. He was an All-Star,” Cora said Saturday. “He just said, ‘Give me the ball whenever.’”
