Caleb Durbin Competes for Starting Second Base Role in Boston

Caleb Durbin is locked in a spring training competition with Marcelo Mayer for the Red Sox's starting second base job. Acquired from the Brewers, Durbin brings versatility and speed to the infield, having played second, third, and short in the minors. Manager Alex Cora has not committed to a starter, emphasizing defense and depth. Durbin is expected to contribute through his ability to get on base and manufacture runs, serving as a key piece of the team's revamped infield strategy.
