As the Red Sox’ disappointing 2022 season nears its conclusion, the attention turns toward the offseason. The biggest question: How much of an effort will they make to keep their two best players?
Rafel Devers is certainly hoping so. The Red Sox’ All-Star third baseman is one of the players in question as he’ll become a free agent following the 2023 season. The more immediate matter for the Red Sox to address is Xander Bogaerts, who will reportedly likely opt out of his contract to become a free agent this upcoming offseason.
The Red Sox re-signing Bogaerts could lead to Devers signing an extension to stay in Boston, the organization that he’s been a part of since 2013.
