Red Sox star Rafael Devers stuck to his stance of waiting until after the season to talk publicly about a new contract at the All-Star Game in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
“I don’t want to worry about that,” Devers said, per The Boston Globe. “That’s why, like I mentioned after spring training, I wasn’t going to talk about any contract discussions throughout the season because I don’t want that type of distraction. That’s something that’s between the team and me.”
Still, Devers did say the Red Sox’s preseason offer was “pretty similar” to the deal Braves first baseman Matt Olson received — eight years and $168 million.
