Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers will remain in Boston for at least one more year after the team announced a new deal agreed upon on Tuesday.
This deal allowed the two sides to avoid salary arbitration in the offseason. Devers reportedly agreed to a one-year, $17.5 million deal with the Red Sox, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The Red Sox did not disclose the salary amount in their official announcement.
However, this one-year deal doesn’t mean the Red Sox aren’t considering Devers for a longer term deal. Passan noted that because this deal was agreed upon, it’s likely that discussions between to the two parties will continue to happen ahead of the 2023 season.
