Marcelo Mayer Challenges for Red Sox Second Base Spot This Spring

Marcelo Mayer is competing for the starting second base position with the Red Sox this spring. A natural shortstop who filled in at third base last season, Mayer is being evaluated by manager Alex Cora for his defensive agility and offensive potential. While the team has not named a starter, Mayer's versatility and defensive performance are under close watch. The Red Sox are prioritizing depth and defensive consistency, and Mayer remains a primary candidate to secure a role in the infield.
