Part 2/8:
Recently, Marcus Stroman announced that he would not transition to a relief pitching role after reporting late to spring training, a stance he firmly communicated to the New York Yankees. Similarly, Rafael Devers of the Boston Red Sox echoed this sentiment, stating that he would not vacate his position at third base. This rigidity contrasts sharply with superstars like Mike Trout and Jose Altuve, who are open to positional changes to benefit their teams. As reports surface that Altuve has begun taking practice reps in left field, it raises questions about team dynamics and individual commitments within these organizations.
