Show Notes
The Boston Red Sox have Marcelo Mayer on their opening day roster, but hes not guaranteed the everyday second baseman role. Manager Alex Cora has planned a platoon system, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa starting against left-handed pitchers due to his better performance against them. Mayer, who struggled against lefties last season, will see most of his starts against right-handers early in the year. This careful approach aims to help Mayer adjust to the big leagues and earn more everyday at-bats.
