## Resource

The Red Sox are betting big on young shortstop Marcelo Mayer, thrust into the spotlight after Trevor Story’s surgery. At just 23, Mayer gets a rare chance to anchor the infield — and maybe unlock his offensive potential. Though his bat hasn’t clicked yet (.214 with limited power), the team believes playing his natural position at shortstop could reignite his confidence, echoing past success stories like Ceddanne Rafaela and Xander Bogaerts. This move isn’t just about defense — it’s a gamble that Mayer’s game could finally take off. Watch closely over the next few months.
