“If You Can Play Shortstop, You Can Play Anywhere” – MLB Star Enrique Hernandez Positive About Trevor Story and His Trade to the Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox look like a team prepared to take on 2022. And the signing of shortstop Trevor Story has only added to their roster and to the reputation that they carry into the season. All set to get the ball rolling against the New York Yankees on Opening Day, the Red Sox line-up might be set to see a shake-up after the signing of Trevor Story. However, the Red Sox second baseman seems to see no teething troubles with the incoming signing.

Enrique Hernandez signed on after a season with the LA Dodgers in 2021, and while he has turned out at 2B for the franchise several times over last year, he believes that the position could be up for the taking; Specifically, for the new signing, Trevor Story. Speaking to an ESPN correspondent, Hernandez opened up about how he expects the newest signing to fit in with the team and if he expects any adaptation period for Story.

Hernandez opens up about Trevor Story

Hernandez believed that Story will be a perfect fit for the Boston franchise. Having played a majority of his career as a shortstop, Story could be expected to man the same spot for the Red Sox. Hernandez, however, has a slightly different read on the situation.

Hernandez seemed to maintain that Story had the talent to turn out anywhere on the ballpark. And it was having played at shortstop that allowed him to make the most of that skill set. Said Hernandez, “If you can play shortstop, you can play anywhere.”

Besides, Hernandez seemed to repose tremendous faith in Story and his ability to make the transition to his new position smoothly. Said Hernandez, “He’s gifted. I don’t doubt one bit that he’s going to be able to transition smoothly to 2B.”

With the 2022 season looming just on the horizon, Story too will be eager to make his mark. Only having switched from the Colorado Rockies in 2022, the athlete will be eager to make a mark on the Boston landscape. But before the season begins, Story seems to have another obstacle to clear. With a position change on the cards, Story could be unsettled.
