At this level, you possibly can persuade me that the Pink Sox are all-time strategic clods or Machiavellian geniuses in how they dealt with the Rafael Devers scenario.
As a result of in the event that they got here to the choice that they solely made Devers the highest-paid participant in franchise historical past underneath post-Mookie Betts duress and had been horrified over how he would age and wished out of the eight years at $243.5 million due him after this season, then their techniques make excellent sense.
If not, effectively …
Look, there was a second prior to now offseason when the Pink Sox had been constructive they had been buying and selling with the Cardinals for Nolan Arenado or signing free agent Alex Bregman. At that time, the management of the group needed to get on a aircraft to satisfy with Devers and attempt to get him on board with the plan to maneuver off third base.
