Red Sox, Rafael Devers Far Apart In Extension Talks
2 years agoThe Boston Red Sox have reopened contract-extension talks with third baseman Rafael Devers, but the two sides are reportedly far apart. Boston has reportedly raised their offer to $200 million-plus, but with Devers only a year away from free agency, he's seeking at least 10 years for $300 million-plus. The 26-year-old was one of the best hitters in the big leagues in 2022, hitting .283 with 27 home runs and an .879 OPS. He leads baseball with 264 extra-base hits since 2019 and is second in total bases, behind only Freddie Freeman. The Red Sox originally offered roughly $168 million over eight years to Devers. No matter what happens with his extension talks this winter, Devers will be a highly coveted hitter in fantasy in a great hitter's ballpark in Boston in 2023.
