Boston To Split Up Rafael Devers, Masataka Yoshida In Lineup

Boston Red Sox skipper Alex Cora said that the team is hoping to split up third baseman Rafael Devers and new outfielder Masataka Yoshida in this year's batting lineup, so Devers isn't expected to hit second. The left-handed-hitting Yoshida is expected to serve as Boston's primary leadoff guy in 2023, which means Devers will likely hit in the No. 3 spot to avoid having left-handers back-to-back at the top of the order. Devers, one of the best hitters in all of baseball, signed an 11-year, $331 million contract extension this offseason to remain in Beantown for the long term. The 26-year-old has been an All-Star each of the last two seasons and hit .287/.355/.530 with 65 home runs, 201 RBI, 185 runs scored and eight stolen bases in the last two years. He's ranked 20th overall in RotoBaller's 2023 fantasy baseball rankings.

Red Sox, Rafael Devers Agree On 11-Year Extension

The Boston Red Sox and star third baseman Rafael Devers are in agreement on an 11-year, $331 million contract extension on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The deal is not done, but the physical process has started. The New York Post's Jon Heyman reports the contract doesn't include a no-trade clause, and Devers will receive a $20 million signing bonus. Devers and the team just avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $17.5 million deal. The 26-year-old's extension breaks a Boston franchise record and also the MLB record for biggest contract for a third baseman. But he's proven to be one of the best hitters in baseball the last several seasons and slashed .295/.358/.521 with an .879 OPS, 27 home runs, 88 RBI, 84 runs scored and three steals in 141 games in 2022 with Boston. Devers will be a pricey fantasy commodity in the early rounds of 2023 drafts.
