Devers hit 773 in Low A in 2015. He was up in Boston in 2017.
If Yorke is promoted this year and continues to rake, I could see him start next year in Portland. If he hits well there, he could be called up to Boston at any point.
Right now, Downs is struggling. It's not unreasonable to believe he could struggle next year too.
A high reward guy like that should be pushed as fast as he's able to be pushed. If he's up in POR mashing next year and Downs is still struggling in AAA, does Yorke make it to the bigs before Downs?
Yorke
May OPS 483
June OPS 953
July OPS 1015
He was one of those guys that hadn't played a meaningful game in a long time due to injury and COVID. It's not surprising that he started off slow, but he's really kicked it into high gear.

Red Sox minor league transactions:
- RHS Connor Seabold activated from AAA IL.
- RHS Kutter Crawford, RHR Durbin Feltman, IF Grant Williams promoted from AA to AAA
- LHSw Matt Kent moved from AAA to AA
- IF Nick Sogard promoted from A+ to AA
Good for him. He's earned it. Let's see what Feltman can do in AAA too.
