Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension

[Bobe2]

No, they're different, because they're confirming that they're still all in.

We've got the youth movement coming, but it's great to have a star to build around.

I hope your right but you missed my point the signing didn’t change the personnel on the team, we’re the same team as yesterday

The same for 2023, yes, but this is huge.

No opt outs.

No no-trade clause.

The monkey is off our backs. Big sigh of relief, and not just for fans.

We still have about $17M under the tax line, so maybe the 2023 roster is not quite set.

I still think w etrade for Rojas or Mateo and shouldn't have to much up for either.

I'd like to see us have a better defensive RF'er, but I'm okay with L- Dugo and R- Ref.

I think Yoshida & Turner can make up for the loss of offense from Bogey & JD, and in terms of RBI production, maybe a lot more.

The pen is better.

The rotation is the big question.

He didn’t get a no trade clause? What a mistake

He’ll have a no trade after his 10th full year with the Red Sox anyways.

[a700hitter]

Finally, good news. It would have been a disaster if they lost the whole core of Betts, Bogaerts and Devers.

Now….don’t wait 6 years to work on Bello and Casas. They can wait a year, but start licking guys up early

[mvp 78]

Bloom has more work to do, but this is a good start.

Pleased.

Next offseason, the extensions need to be fast and furious.

Extending them, now, starting in 2023, would allow the tax hit to be lower going forward, while still keeping us under the tax line for 2023.

At least this shows that they want to build something around somebody.

Said that, next season still looks awful moving forward. Maybe the plan will start until 2024/25?

A mistake for whom? Devers? I think he’ll be okay and I doubt he’s traded anytime soon anyway.

Prepare to be surprised, once again.

[StephenCurry30]

hopefully next an extension to Bobby Dalbec is coming

No, they should have locked him up, when his stock was high.

So, we lock up Casas at 8M x 10 and Bello at $9M x 10, and we squeak under the tax line in 2023, and even the Bloom bashers would have to say something good about him for 3 minutes.

I'm waiting for someone to say we signed him, so we could trade him.
