Kent wants to play shortstop next year. That apparently is his top priority above everything else. So, unless Ali signs, I think it unlikely that he will return. Our staff last year concluded that his bat wasn't enough to overcome Camarillo's edge with the glove.
What is the basis of your intel?
I honestly do not and refuse to believe that Kent would be such a selfish player. I do not think for one second that he is demanding to play SS. Or that he is even thinking SS or nothing mentality.
Source?
I personally think he would be perfectly happy at 2B which he can grow into SS after Ali is gone (could be this year but SS is still not guaranteed).
He absolutely deserves to be a beginning of season starter
