00:00To me it's about Alex Corr and how he handles this situation.
00:03As of right now, kind of like if I was going to give him a grade, I'd kind of give him like a D
00:08minus in the sense of like... On handling the Bregman arrival, what that's done with Devers,
00:15and now yesterday, Tristan Cassis speaking up and telling you he knows where everybody
00:21should be playing. Right, because you've been in baseball long enough, Alex Corr, to know
00:26like, all right, how good of a player Alex Bregman could be at third base and what's best
00:32for your baseball club, right? You know, you've been around, you know, and the fact that you
00:37haven't really... Like if you want to say, come out and say, hey listen, Devers is going to have
00:42to compete with Bregman. We think Bregman gives us a great opportunity at third base. He's going
00:47to have to compete and the guy that is able to come away spring training proving that they're
00:52the best defensive player out there for us at that position is going to be the guy that's going
00:57to be the everyday starter. We kind of haven't really heard that from Corr. He's kind of saying,
01:03yeah, what's best for the Red Sox? What's best for the Red Sox? Like, I get it what you're kind of,
01:09you know, what you're kind of like beating around the bush, but just come out and say it straight
01:12up. So we'll find out because what happens come opening day and Devers is at third base.
01:22Then problem all year long because the soon as he boots a ball at third base,
01:28there's going to be the bull birds. The reporters are going to be asking them.
01:32People are going to be screaming for Alex Bregman.
01:35Yep. And now Corr is going to have to like defend his decision on why to play
01:40Devers there. And Devers has already said publicly he doesn't want to move. So I write...
01:47Do you think Corr is surprised by the reaction to the acquisition of Alex Bregman?
01:53What do you mean the surprise? Like surprise from Devers?
01:55Do you think he's surprised by the way Devers reacted and the way Kassus has reacted?
02:01I don't know. I would think that he wouldn't be. But, you know, you have a manager of this team.
02:06You should have a conversation with your player before they go out and say, hey, listen, Bregman,
02:12we... Tell him let's keep it in house.
02:15You don't need to talk about it.
02:16Everybody tells me Corr is the guy because he's great. That club also gets along with these players.
