Top prospect Marcelo Mayer appears likely to play third while Romy Gonzalez, Nick Sogard, and Kristian Campbell are expected to share time at second. Boston is considering additional infield options, with free agents and trade targets such as Isaac Paredes, Brendan Donovan, and Eugenio Suarez still available.
