Three potential Rafael -devers goals when Boston Red Sox continues

Rafael Devers rocked the boat with the Boston Red Sox when he publicly criticized the club’s front office because he asked him to play the first basis after the injury at the end of the season. In Boston’s eyes, Devers, a third Baseman of trade, which was already forced from his natural position after the signing of Alex Bregman, would not have to learn hard in order to learn to move the tricks of trade in order to shift to the other corner of the diamond. In the eyes of devers, it is only another inappropriate question of a front office that has already undesirable this spring.

The Red Sox owner John Henry, who was summarized by Chief Baseball Officer Crag Breslow and President Sam Kennedy, met on Friday afternoon with the angry thug, which was “honest about what we as an organization appreciates and what we think is important for the Boston Red Sox for the Boston Red Sox”.

It doesn’t sound exactly as if the trio together was sung together “Kumbaya”, but it sounds at least after a productive conversation that could move things in the right direction. The mere fact that there was even a meeting tells us that the Red Sox make the comments from Devers, a rare public reproduction of the main decision -maker of an organization, seriously enough to include the team owner.

Add in A Mass life Report that some players on the Red Sox are reportedly dissatisfied with the behavior of devers and paints the image of a fairly precarious situation. Before we move into speculative waters, let us clarify one thing: The Red Sox will most likely not act against devers, which in January 2023 signed a 10-year contract with $ 313.5 million and consolidated his status as the face of the franchise.

In view of the fact that things have grown in just a few months, it is not entirely unimaginable to imagine a scenario in which the Red Sox is trying to replace deer to clarify a potential problem with the ongoing clubhouse, increase an already robust farm system and reduce the salary obligations. And that’s the fine line where we will work in this fun practice.

There seem to be three potential primary landing sites that are most sensible, as well as some remarkable long recordings. Every team that aims at devers must be close enough to say that they were doing such a trade and have the resources to take over the gigantic contract of the 28-year-old, which costs around $ 28 million by 2033. A good farm system is a plus-long it is unclear how much prospecing capital, which deals with the mega devers, enable a mega trial. Oh, and the trading partner should have a place for devers to play, be it on the third basis or as a proven bat. (Don’t dare to say the first basis!)

Let us immerse yourself in some potential goals with these criteria.

Farm system rank: 8.
Position available for devers: 3b, ie
2025 salary statement: $ 193,203,383

The cub farm system is armed with the type of young, MLB-capable talent that attracts the Red Sox. And if they were looking at the Cubs, the Cubs accidentally have an opening on the third base in which the reigning Jon Berti and his.

While the willingness of the Cubs to take on such a large contract as that of Devers is up for debate, it would be the mother insurance policies if the MVP candidate of the national league was to leave this winter. A three-time all-star who has a career of 0.854 OPS is a fascinating gambit of Chicagos Front Office. The Cubs lead the NL Central and could have a very good effect on the club’s first pennant.

Farm system rank: 17.
Positions available for devers: 3b?
2025 salary statement: $ 282.625.817

The Phillies farm system does not offer the same talent volume as the Cubs’, but Philadelphia has the art young jug (No. 1 Prospect Andrew Painter, No. 5 Prospect Moisés Chace, No. 8 Prospect Mick Abel), which would seduce the red SOX. And there is no doubt about the status of the Phillies as contenders – they are only three years from reaching the World Series and two years from reaching the NLCs. However, you could use a spark to reverse your trend to leave the post -season with every year, and Phillie’s owner John Middleton is not afraid to spend his assets.

The only roadblock? Alec Bohm, a 2024 All-Star, currently the third basis of the Phillies. But would that Really Do you keep Philadelphia from swinging the fences with a deverse trade, especially if you get Bohm’s slow start and below average power prank? And how much fun would the President of Phillies from Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski coordinate a blockbuster trade with one of the teams he used to do?

Farm system rank: 13.
Positions available for devers: 3b
2025 salary statement: $ 112,892.271

Trading with Juan Soto bears fruits in the form of James Wood (. How about the 28-year-old devers as a tried and tested front piece to Washington’s tempting young core? It is the type of movement that could increase and show the argument window of the nationals that it is serious

Los Angeles Dodgers

The defending champs have an apparently unlimited salary statement, a loaded farm system and a third basic situation that could use an upgrade in view of the battles of 37-year-old Max Muncy. You can never count the Dodgers to search for a sensation, but could the Red Sox really send another local superstar to Los Angeles to join Mookie Betts?

Milwaukee Brewers

A multi -year -old playoff candidate with a lot of trade ammunition and an opening on the hot corner. Would you want to take on his contract?

New York Mets

This does not really seem to be like David Stearn’s style, but Steve Cohen’s wallet, the farm system of the Mets, which is available from bats from ie, make this conceivable. In addition, Lindor-Soto-Devers-Alonso MLBS version of Lions, Tigers and Bears would be my god!
