A year ago, as the annual GM Meetings opened, Craig Breslow made it abundantly clear that he viewed Trevor Story as the Red Sox' starting shortstop in 2026. He wouldn't make the same proclamation Monday.
Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow announced at the GM Meetings in Las Vegas that the club remains open-minded regarding their shortstop position for 2027, declining to guarantee Trevor Story the starting role. Story is entering the final season of his six-year, $140 million contract and appeared in only 64 games during the 2026 season due to a sports hernia.
Breslow stated that any role decisions will involve internal discussions before being made public. Potential alternatives at shortstop include top prospect Franklin Arias, internal options such as Andruw Monasterio and Nick Sogard, or external trade targets, which could potentially move Story to second base.
