BOSTON — Rejoice, relief and rejuvenation will surely be felt on Jersey Street and across New England this week, as the Red Sox have finally, for the first time since Dustin Pedroia in 2013, retained a homegrown superstar on a long-term contract.
Wednesday afternoon, the Red Sox agreed to an 11-year, $331 million deal to keep Rafael Devers in Boston through his age 36 season, a contract first reported by former MLB player Carlos Baerga and later confirmed by multiple outlets.
Given the Sox already signed Devers to a one-year, $17.5 million deal for 2023, this deal looks more like a 10-year, $313.5 million contract.
