Boston Red Sox Finalize Infield: Marcelo Mayer Named Starting Second Baseman

The Boston Red Sox have solidified their infield for the 2026 season, naming Marcelo Mayer as the starting second baseman. After a successful spring training, manager Alex Cora announced Mayers position, filling the last remaining question mark in the lineup. Mayer, a top prospect, impressed during his first taste of the majors last year and showed promise in spring training, batting .244 with one home run and a .700 OPS across 28 at-bats. Alongside Willson Contreras at first, Trevor Story at shortstop, and Caleb Durbin at third, the Red Soxs infield is set to mesh well with their solid rotation and bullpen. A strong performance from Mayer could fill the void left by Alex Bregman and propel Boston to a deep playoff run.
