    Corey Kluber's was one of the few free agent contracts to come in under the MLB Trade Rumors prediction: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/mlb-trade-rumors-top-50-free-agents-predictions-2022-23.html What former Stetson Hatter righthander will post the best numbers in 2023: Kluber, Jacob deGrom or Logan Gilbert?

    Even with the former's down season, Max Kepler and Luis Arraez, who come with multiple years of team control, this year combined for more fWAR than Rafael Devers posted. The Red Sox should hope to better a package of Alex Verdugo, Jeter Downs and Connor Wong.

    A Minnesota vulture is circling the Rafael Devers prey: A Potential Trade for Rafael Devers - Minnesota Twins Free Agents & Trade Rumors - Twins Daily TWINSDAILY.COM While reading “3 Third Baseman Trades that Could Provide the Twins a Productive Bat” posted by Nate Palmer, I got a very interesting idea. The first trade he proposed is one for Rafael Devers, which got me thinking… The Minnesota Twins are in a unique place where depth isn’t quite a concern anymo...

    The Seattle Mariners have trouble attracting free agents despite the absence of a state income tax in Washington.

    Red Sox beat reporter Jen McCaffrey at The Athletic detailed the team's four-year pursuit of Masataka Yoshida: https://theathletic.com/4029222/2022/12/24/red-sox-pursuit-masataka-yoshida/ Subscription required.

    CORRECTION: Gurriel will become a XX( free agent upon expiration of contract after 2023 season

    A trade for Daulton Varsho likely would have cost the Red Sox a top prospect such as Triston Casas, who is a month older than Gabriel Moreno, who plays a premium position. Casas entered the 2022 season as the 17th-ranked prospect at Baseball America while Moreno entered the season as BA's seventh-ranked prospect. This year Casas posted 0.3 fWAR and 120 wRC+ in 27 MLB games while Moreno posted 0.7 fWAR and 113 wRC+ in 25 games. Of course the Diamondbacks also got one year of established veteran Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in the trade. Two years of Alex Verdugo might be a reasonable comp.

    FWIW when the Red Sox traded Mookie Betts with one year of team control remaining, Betts had posted 36.9 fWAR and 42.2 bWAR in 794 games with the Sox. Rafael Devers, who has one year of team control remaining, has posted 18.1 fWAR and 15.2 bWAR in 689 games with the Red Sox. Betts was a four-time All Star and the 2018 AL MVP while Devers is a two-time All Star who has never finished in the top 10 in MVP voting. Since entering MLB in 2014 Devers ranks ninth among qualified third basemen with 18.1 fWAR in 689 games (sandwiched between Kris Bryant with 18.2 WAR in 620 games and Eugenio Suarez with 17.5 fWAR in 810 games): https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=3b&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2022&month=0&season1=2017&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2017-01-01&enddate=2022-12-31 Newly acquired Justin Turner posted 22.2 fWAR in the same number (689) of games over that period. Working in Devers' favor is his relative youth at 26 years of age.

    David Price was a 34-year-old lefthander with three years and $96 million remaining on his contract when the Red Sox traded Price, Mookie Betts and cash to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chris Sale, a lefthander who turns 34 in March, has two years and $55 million remaining on his contract. A package of Rafael Devers and Sale would not be out of the question.

    Isn't that precisely what the Red Sox did with Mookie Betts?

    Baseball Trade Values assigns Rafael Devers a surplus value of $37 million and six years of New York Mets third baseman Bret Baty a surplus value of $33.8 million.

    Any chance the New York Mets trade for Rafael Devers?

    We're counting on you to provide optimism but the Red Sox currently look a mess from this outsider's perspective.
