Offering Devers to a deal far longer than Manny Ramirez&#8217;s eight-year pact and more than 50% larger than David Price&#8217;s $217 million contract was enough for the two-time All-Star to accept shepherding the Red Sox out of last place in the American League East and back to contention.<\/p>\n<p>The contract will start in 2023 and extend through the 2033 season, sources said.  The one-year, $17.5 million contract Devers signed earlier in the week to avoid arbitration will be superseded by the long-term deal.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Devers debuted with Boston at 20 years old in 2017 and quickly illustrated why scouts so adored his bat.  His left-handed swing was perfectly suited for Fenway Park, with doubles thwacking off the Green Monster and home runs carrying out to right field.  Devers&#8217;s acumen only has grown.  In 2022, he hit .295\/.358\/.521 with 27 home runs, 88 RBIs and a career-best OPS+.<\/p>\n<p>It was similar to his 2021 season, in which Devers hit 38 home runs, and 2019, when he led the major leagues with 359 total bases as a 22-year-old.  The consistency made him the perfect candidate to keep around long-term with the losses of Bogaerts and Betts, whose steadiness was among their defining characteristics.  Early negotiations on a deal bore no fruit, with Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom and Devers&#8217; agent, Nelson Montes de Jan of Rep 1, far apart in their valuations.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the backlash from losing Bogaerts and Betts &#8212; and just losing &#8212; had any effect on the consummation of the deal is unclear.  But on Monday, with Fenway Park hosting the majestic Winter Classic, fans booed Red Sox owner John Henry, a show of the sentiment in the city toward the owner under whom the team broke its 86-year World Series drought before winning three more championships.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline inline-with-table float-r\">\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-text-contract=\"-\" data-text-expand=\"+\" data-fix-cols=\"0\" data-behavior=\"responsive_table\" class=\"inline-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>year<\/th>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>contract<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"last\">\n<td>2022<\/td>\n<td>Rafael Devers*<\/td>\n<td>11 years, $331M<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"last\">\n<td>2015<\/td>\n<td>David Price<\/td>\n<td>7 years, $217M<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"last\">\n<td>2000<\/td>\n<td>Manny Ramirez<\/td>\n<td>8 years, $160M<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"last\">\n<td>2011<\/td>\n<td>Adrian Gonzalez<\/td>\n<td>7 years, $154M<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"last\">\n<td>2019<\/td>\n<td>Chris Sale<\/td>\n<td>5 years, $145M<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"last\">\n<td>2010<\/td>\n<td>Carl Crawford<\/td>\n<td>7 years, $142M<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tfoot>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\">*reported Wed.  by ESPN&#8217;s Jeff Passan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\"><i>&#8212; ESPN Stats &#038; Information<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Seeing Bogaerts walk with an offer tens of millions of dollars short stung, especially with the Red Sox designating for assignment Jeter Downs, the main prospect return in the Betts deal, just days after.  Bogaerts, 30, was, like Devers, a homegrown star: five Silver Sluggers, four All-Star appearances and a pair of World Series rings.  The notion of a long-term left side of the infield with him and Devers felt natural to a Red Sox fan base coming to terms with last-place finishes two of the last three seasons, sandwiched around an ALCS appearance.<\/p>\n<p>When Bogaerts left, the focus turned naturally to Devers, who benefitted greatly from the mega-deals given out this winter.  Aaron Judge topped the list with $360 million from the New York Yankees.  Trea Turner got $300 million from Philadelphia, Bogaerts $280 million from the Padres.  And Carlos Correa agreed to a pair of $300 million-plus deals, though medical foibles have his status in limbo.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond Bogaerts this winter, World Series hero Nathan Eovaldi left for the Texas Rangers, and the Red Sox fell short of signing multiple free-agent targets.  Instead, the Red Sox redistributed the resources across the roster by adding Japanese outfielder Masataka Yoshida on a five-year, $90 million deal, relievers Kenley Jansen (two years, $32 million) and Chris Martin (two years, $17 million), third baseman Justin Turner at two years for $21 million and starter Corey Kluber at a year and $10 million.<\/p>\n<p>Devers will be the roster&#8217;s cornerstone and the face of the franchise for the new era of the Red Sox.  Though the third baseman has improved defensively over the course of his career, he could potentially move to first base or designated hitter down the road.  But as long as his swing and production are even a facsimile of what he has done in his young career, it wo n&#8217;t matter what position he&#8217;s playing.<\/p>\n<p><em>ESPN Stats &#038; Information contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5:25 PM ET Jeff Passan Close ESPN ESPN MLB insiderAuthor of &#8220;The Arm: Inside the Billion-Dollar Mystery of the Most Valuable Commodity in Sports&#8221; joon lee Close ESPN Previously a Staff Writer at Bleacher ReportCornell University graduate Third baseman Rafael Devers and the Boston Red Sox are finalizing an 11-year, $331 million contract extension, sources &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/rafael-devers-red-sox-finalizing-11-year-331m-extension\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Rafael Devers, Red Sox finalizing 11-year, $331M extension<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.10 -
