Manager Alex Cora knows it’s largely out of his hands whether Rafael Devers stays with the Red Sox long term. If Cora has it his way, though, Devers won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
“I would love to manage him for as long as I manage,” Cora told reporters.
His current contract favors the Red Sox, as the 25-year-old superstar Devers signed a one-year, $11.2 million deal for 2022. It’s expected that Devers, who is eligible for free agency following the 2023 season, is in line for a massive payday at some point in the relatively near future.
