The Red Sox are making some tough but strategic choices ahead of Opening Day. Rafael Devers’ move to DH seems like a smart call, given Alex Bregman’s defensive abilities at third base. While Devers initially resisted, reality and team needs won out—Cora is building the best lineup possible.

On the pitching side, though, things are looking rough. With Giolito and Bello both dealing with injuries, Boston’s rotation is in survival mode before the season even starts. Depth options will be tested early, and if injuries keep piling up, they might have to make a move.
Do you think Devers’ shift to DH will help the Red Sox, or should he keep fighting for his third-base spot? And should Boston consider adding another pitcher to stabilize their rotation?
