Red Sox News & Links: Is it time for Marcelo Mayer to unseat Trevor Story at shortstop?

Trevor Story has been bad this year. Pretty, pretty bad. A player with an OBP below .300 is a player who probably shouldn’t have a starting job in the big leagues unless they are truly special in the field and surrounded by a strong lineup. And while Story continues to be a good glove man, it feels like his time as the Red Sox starting shortstop is winding down while Marcelo Mayer wraps up finishing school at AAA. Story himself is very aware of this dynamic and has seen it play out before, with him in the role of the up-and-coming infielder.
