Whoops

#RedSox #Devers #Taxes

FINALLY #RedSox do something right.
#Devers gets an 11-year deal for $332 million.

It's a start.

"Boston has reached an 11-year, $331 million contract extension with star third baseman Rafael Devers"

Well well well, as I live and breathe. I have to admit I'd convinced myself that Rafael Devers was going to follow Betts and Bogaerts out the door, either intentionally or by design.

I'm happy to see this news, and my Mom will be too — he's her favorite player.

Extremely pleased to see this news about #Devers! Thank you #RedSox for putting your money where your mouth is and doing the right thing. My son will be psyched to know his favorite player is staying put.

Jeff Passan reports that the #Boston #RedSox have reached a one-year $17.5 million deal with 3B Rafael #Devers to avoid arbitration. Though it does not extend Devers' contract, it's being viewed as a positive sign (at least there are conversations going on). A long-term contract extension may be in the works, though the latest negotiation news was that the sides remain far apart.

I'd be very disappointed but not very surprised if the #RedSox failed to sign 3B Rafael #Devers to a long extension.
For the record, I don't believe #Boston success depends on Devers. A solid fielder and one of the best hitters in #MLB, Raffy's a huge asset. But, just as the Sox have managed to lose with him, they can manage to win without him.
My concern is the team is still doing little to shed a well-earned reputation as a farm club for the rest of #baseball.

Here we go again #RedSoxNation, now #ChaimBloom has reportedly said if they can't extend #RafaelDevers said he won't #trade him. This means that Chaim and The Trio are more than comfortable in giving away #Devers for a comp #draftpick. They need to get their shit together or #RedSox ownership needs to #FireBloom

On the matter of extending the contract of 3B Rafael #Devers, Bloom says #RedSox "efforts [are] intensifying."
Honestly, I have no idea what that means. Not sure that Devers will be impressed by #Boston efforts - regardless of their intensity - if they are not accompanied by contract terms that match the fair market value (unbelievably bloated as it has become) of his talents. #MLB

In a somewhat fatalistic column, John Tomase argues that the #Boston #RedSox should trade 3B Rafael #Devers, as they'll surely be unable/unwilling to retain his services after the 2023 season. #MLB

So the #RedSox are going to take the money from the hideous Ad patch and sign #Bogaerts and extend #Devers, right?
