‘We’ve been having a lot of fun’

That doesn’t seem to be the case, however.
Devers made his desires abundantly clear after Boston signed Bregman, bluntly stating that he wanted to stay at third base and had no interest in moving to another position. But that wasn’t necessarily a shot at Bregman, who Devers referred to as “a great guy” and a “great addition” to the Red Sox’s roster.
Bregman returned the favor Tuesday when he called Devers “a great player” and stressed he was “super excited” to be the three-time All-Star’s teammate. The two-time World Series champion also pulled back the curtain on his early interactions with Boston’s franchise cornerstone.
“They’ve been great. We’ve been having a lot of fun,” Bregman told reporters, per MLB.com. “We’ve been taking ground balls back here, during our work together. Talking about winning. Talking about baseball. Talking about being excited for the season. Last night we all got together and had dinner. It’s great.”

Bregman’s comments corroborated a claim made by Alex Cora, who insisted there was no beef between the pair of star infielders. The Red Sox manager also pointed out how Bregman and Devers had a very lengthy conversation on Boston’s first day of full-squad workouts.
The Red Sox have quite a bit to figure out before the regular season gets underway in late March. But no matter what Cora decides to do with his talented roster, it seems like all players will buy in for the sake of the greater good.
