Inside the Shocking Deal That Finally Ended the Red Sox’s Rafael Devers Saga—And What It Means for the Future
After watching icons like Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts exit the scene, the Red Sox pinned their hopes on Devers to carry the torch as the face of the franchise. They even rewarded him with a monumental 10-year, $313.5 million deal just last December. But as the story often goes, bliss didn’t last. Things took a sharp turn when Boston brought in Alex Bregman and decided Devers would stay put as the everyday designated hitter—a shift Devers wasn’t exactly thrilled about. Then, with first baseman Triston Casas sidelined for the season, the team’s ask for Devers to take over first base went down like a lead balloon. Ultimately, Devers refused, culminating in this dramatic trade that has everyone buzzing.
