A senior Red Sox executive reportedly visited Rafael Devers in the Dominican Republic on Monday.
The nature of the executive’s conversations with Devers, however, remain unclear, as conflicting reports have emerged.
Per MLB insider Yancen Pujols, who previously reported the details of Wander Franco’s contract with the Rays, the Red Sox and Devers began discussing a contract extension, and the team made a “substantially” better offer than the one Devers shot down during spring training. Pujols reported that the team is looking to sign Devers for “at least” seven seasons.
Meanwhile, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reported that Eddie Romero — the team’s assistant GM — had “a regular offseason check-in” with Devers.
