MLB News: Red Sox GM would be willing to ‘give Bogaerts money’ to Rafael Devers

One of the most unpopular figures at the Boston Red Sox No doubt it’s the president of operations and ‘de facto’ general manager, Chaim Bloom, who has made some pretty questionable decisions since coming to his position, since he’s under his guard Gone are Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, Kyle Schwarber, Andrew Benintendi, Christian Vázquezamong others, being perhaps the next Rafael Devers.

In his column for The New York Post, Jon Heyman of MLB Network mentions that the big winner from Xander Bogaerts not signing in the Red Sox is ‘Carita’ Devers himself, since now Chaim Bloom has all the pressure so that the Dominican does not slip away in free agency and they would give all the money that didn’t go to Bogaerts to him.

Via text message, Bloom mentioned the following to Heyman.

Our efforts are only intensifying (with Devers), but it’s something we’ve wanted to do for a long time (deal an extension) and hopefully we’ll find a way soon

Following the big signings of this free agency, Devers is expected to be able to land a contract of at least $300 million or more due to his prime age and peak production still ahead of him.

I started as a rookie at Al Bat at the beginning of 2018 and I am in my third season covering Major League Baseball as a web reporter. I am a fan of the San Francisco Giants, a number one defender of Barry Bonds and a detractor of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Ronald Acuna are the future of baseball, Mike Trout is overrated, and the Astros deserved to have the World Series taken from them for their cheating. In addition to baseball, I also enjoy football, flag, basketball, and just about any other game that involves a ball or ball. I am also an amateur musician, a penniless gamer and a very nerdy person.

I lived for a time in Australia; I survived giant spiders, Tasmanian devils and fought a kangaroo and didn’t die trying.
