Devers and the team are still “far apart” in contract extension negotiations, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. While Boston recently raised its offer to the two-time All-Star third baseman, there is about a $100 million gap between the two sides. “Word is the Red Sox have now raised their offer to $200 million-plus, probably necessary given the Braves signed less-experienced star third baseman Austin Riley for $212 million,” Heyman writes. “However, with Devers only a year away from free agency, he seeks at least 10 years for $300 million-plus.”
Devers isn’t going anywhere.
