Eight MLB players changing position for 2025: Rafael Devers, Jose Altuve, Clay Holmes and more

Some of the fun of the new basic League’s baseball season in different places in different places. For many, it means players who have changed teams. However, in some cases, it refers to players holding other positions.

Given that there are eight positional changes that will be aware of the new season, as well as our verdict, change or not to work for the player and the team.

Change: From the third base to the designated hit

For a moment, the red Sox Infield could be confused for Rube Goldberg’s car. After signing Alex Brabman, it was the desire to assume that he assumed the third reason for Rafael Debre, who would slip to DH and open (final) opening in the main prospect of Kristian Campbell. It seems that they will disappear their desire to deviate after not all jazz is saying at first. Bregman is exclusively played in the warm corner of this spring; Campbelli, in turn, was a ping-tailed ping-tailed between the second base and the left field when he was preparing for his first chief debut after that Preparation of the opening day listA number

Expectation: It will work. BREGMAN is a clear defensive refreshment of the third, and Red Sox has always had to clear the breakthrough of the campus, the coldest juvenile league last year. The only real risk here is that moving is struggling to achieve full-time DH responsibilities. (Some strokes have a hard time dealing between the bats so much falling.

Change:From the second base to the left field

BREGMAN is not the star of the sole long stars associated with a positional change this year. Altuve moves from its usual pursuit to stimulate the protection of Houston Infield. (He was more badly worse than the minus -3 protective run, which has been retired in the last three ways.

ExpectationIt will work, at least as far as Dimon will protect better in a key enterprise. As for the alien, we will give him some time before judging his outgoing games. You can think of whether his low average speed will condemn him to the poor field, but remember that he causes more speed. Last season with Sprint Speed ​​fell (as reported by Statcast) compared to Steven Kvani. The quan, of course, is a three-year Gold Golk Good winner.

Change:: Bullpen to rotation

The adults signed Holmes, who spent the past three seasons to close for the yanks, to cross their rotation. He came as a start (many of the trails), but he did not even open a game since 2018. However, adults have longer exits. He recently called New York opening daylights, although mostly default.

Expectation: Holmes will be the items in Michael King this year. Will he be able to withstand the high load? That is the question. We will not pretend to know the answer.

Change:From the center field to the right field

The prince is part of his age age, 67 games for one pop for the past four years. Angels need more if they want to be the 2025 version of Royal (ie the last place, which becomes competitive after adding during the average degree of veterans during the winter). Some of their program to achieve this goal is to move him from the center to the right field, wear tear and tearing on his body. As an added bonus, angels need to avoid any age of protection of power.

Expectation. Again to be determined. The prince should not have the task of transporting a defensive field. Will it keep him healthier? There is nothing to know for us.

Change:: From Catcher to the first base

On the contrary, the subject of eternally busy positions is actually a step in this season. He no longer has to worry about the formation of his subposophes, because there is no strike in the cold corner. Instead, Iván Herrera will now be assigned with the responsibilities of the back. All the controversy must be hit, hit, hit more while he does everything to reproduce Paul Goldskmidt’s test game.

Expectation. It will work. Contreras are rare with insulting chops to slide all the way down to a defensive spectrum without a break in its value. Meanwhile, Herera has the opportunity to unite itself as a major part of the main part of St. Louis. Everybody wins.

Change:From the second base to the left field

India has never entered the League level at the League level, in addition to the second, although the subheading there is mainly classified. It’s about to change. Roman has spent most of his spring in the left field, although he is running for a second (and third) for the preservation of his choice. For the city of Kansas, the draw remains its base cutlets.

Expectation. It will work well that India strikes. As before, we have to wait and see how India leaves. He is not a particularly fast runner, and he has an average force of arm, but again, there are other, more important features to have Outfielder.

Change:From the third base to the second base

Chisholm seems to not seem to find a steady house. He moved to a second base from Shortstop, the second basis of the central field, the central field to the third basis, and now the third basis to the second base. On the bright side, he remained skilled strokes that go out with a spectacular 46-game stretched yanke. Due to the calf injury with Dj Lemahieu, look for Yankees to install Osvaldo Kabreran in the third place.

Expectation. It needs to be processed. Chisholm has always protected good on a key stone, and there is no reason to think that this region will be different.

Change:. Shortstop from the center field

Technically, this transfer dates are last season. Cruz, ever prone to short-term throw, has been transferred to the center in late August. Before that moment, he played exclusively on the grass. The thinking of pirates seem to be layered. His good average speed and arm power could be active at the center, and his bat may not make his defensive mistakes with him. In addition, it creates a powerful good left side of the intruder for Pittsburg, what is new short ISIAH ISIAH KINER-FALEFA HAYES?

Expectation. It will work. Even if Cruz does not correspond to its final defensive ceiling, it is easy to see the improved intrusion protection for pirates.
