The Major League Baseball trade deadline is only weeks away, but many Red Sox fans are concerned about impending moves to keep star players rather than acquiring some.
Star third baseman Rafael Devers is set to become a free agent following the 2023 season. ESPN MLB insider and “Sunday Night Baseball” reporter Buster Olney didn’t exude much confidence in the Red Sox extending the young star prior to then.
“Based on what we’ve seen in the last three years, I can’t envision [an extension] at the moment because it doesn’t feel like the Red Sox are necessarily prepared to step out,” Olney said on the Red Sox Network Pregame Show with Brian Barrett ahead of Friday’s game.
