11/07/24	Red Sox superstar's agent says he will not switch positions for years to come. Boston Red Sox superstar third baseman Rafael Devers will not be moving from third base any time soon, per Alex Speier. This comes from Devers' agent, who said Devers is a third baseman, through and through. This also addresses the rumors of Devers getting moved to bring in a righty hitter to play third base and push Devers to DH. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/boston-red-sox...
11/06/24	Knowing he needs to be on the field for the Red Sox to succeed, Rafael Devers is approaching offseason differently. While Devers had typically prepared for the season on his own in the Dominican Republic before heading to the Tampa area in January, this year he's following a strength and conditioning program set by team staff that includes the earliest starting date in his career. “The last couple years, injuries have been playing a factor [in his performance],” said Montes de Oca. Devers, despite a left shoulder injury at the start of 2024 and an early-season bruise to his knee, was amid his best season through late July. “I don't think he ever fully recovered from that,” said Montes de Oca.

11/04/24	Two Red Sox Stars Named Finalists For Prestigious MLB Award. Rafael Devers and Jarren Duran already were recognized for their great 2024 seasons, but the Red Sox stars could be in store for more hardware. Louisville Slugger on Monday revealed Devers and Duran as American League finalists for the 2024 Silver Slugger Awards. Devers will compete with fellow third baseman Alex Bregman and José Ramírez for the honor, while Duran was among the outfield group that included Riley Greene, Anthony Santander, Juan Soto and AL MVP favorite Aaron Judge. Devers, a Silver Slugger in 2021 and 2023, put up great numbers at the plate despite battling lingering injuries all season. The three-time All-Star hit 28 home runs with 83 RBIs to go along with a 139 OPS-plus. Duran, Source: https://nesn.com/2024/11/two-red-sox-stars-named-f...
10/28/24	MLB free agent rankings: Top five third basemen. The Boston Red Sox don't need a third baseman. Rafael Devers signed a contract extension before the 2023 season that will keep him around until at least 2034. But if the Red Sox want to get creative, they could improve their infield defense this winter by signing a third baseman (Alex Bregman, anyone?) and moving Devers to first base or designated hitter. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic recently suggested this idea , which included trading first baseman Triston Casas for top-tier starting pitching.

10/18/24	Every third baseman the Red Sox could sign in free agency. The Boston Red Sox have a lot to figure out this offseason, including which players will fill out their roster for the 2025 season with 11 players from last year's roster set to hit the market. Most spots are already spoken for, including third base, which Rafael Devers should be holding down again, but there's always a chance of unexpected moves. There's already been speculation about Devers moving to first base or designated hitter this offseason, so anything's on the table. With that said, fans should know who will be available for the Red Sox to sign this offseason, and today, we'll look at the third basemen.

For example, the Red Sox currently have Rafael Devers at third base and Triston Casas at first base, a pair of lefty sluggers under long-term team control. Pete Alonso of the New York Mets has had a fantastic postseason, mashing three clutch home runs to help keep the Mets' underdog story alive into the National League Championship Series.

9/26/24	Red Sox Elite Prospect Could Surprisingly Start At Third Base Next Season. The Boston Red Sox could have a new third baseman next season. No, Rafael Devers isn't getting traded (unless Craig Breslow goes wild), but Devers could be moving to DH after a 2024 that was awfully unkind to his shoulders. Devers's departure from the corner infield into a designated hitter role — besides potentially pushing Masataka Yoshida out of Boston — would create an interesting opportunity for the Red Sox.

Kenley Jansen also is in line to be shut down for the remainder of the season. Jansen appeared in Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, recording a scoreless inning at Fenway Park in his 54th appearance of the season. "He's been dealing with the shoulder and recovering is not the thing right now for him," manager Alex Cora told reporters Sunday, per The Boston Globe.

The Red Sox on Saturday placed Devers on the 10-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation, which means the star third baseman will miss the final eight games on Boston's regular-season schedule. Before the Red Sox's middle game against the Minnesota Twins was postponed, Alex Cora shed light on the extent of Devers' injury as well as a conversation he had with the three-time All-Star about his status.

Offense was the strength of the Boston Red Sox for most of the 2024 season, but the bats have hit a noticeable rough patch recently. Beginning in late August, when the Red Sox still appeared to have a reasonable shot at the playoffs, the team-wide slump began. Rafael Devers' shoulders started acting up, the bottom half of the order has been a black hole, and lately, even spark plug Jarren Duran has had his scuffles. The Red Sox won their matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Wednesday night, but the offense still found a way to reach a new low. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news...

He's 16-for-88 (.182) with only two extra-base hits (one homer, one double) and six RBIs since Aug. 19. He has played through chronic soreness in both shoulders throughout this season , which is admirable. He gutted it out with the team still in the postseason race.

9/16/24	Tweaks the Yankees should make to end their 15-year World Series drought. With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there's some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season. So as usual, I'm here to help. We still don't know exactly who deserves the bulk of blame for the early, ill-considered intentional walk to Red Sox star Rafael Devers, but we do know it was not a move befitting three very smart people — Aaron Boone (USC), Gerrit Cole (UCLA) and Matt Blake (Holy Cross).

9/14/24	Cole's intentional walk to Devers with no one on base sparks Red Sox rally against Yankees. Gerrit Cole’s curious decision to intentionally walk Boston’s Rafael Devers with no one on base while working on a no-hit bid led to a three-run fourth inning and an early exit for the New York Yankees ace on Saturday. Cole allowed seven runs, his most in two years, hit a career-high three batters and left after 4 1/3 innings with the Yankees trailing the Red Sox 7-1 as Devers hit a two-run single in a four-run fifth. Devers entered 14 for 41 (.316) with eight homers against Cole, including the postseason. Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/coles-intentional-walk-de...

Boston is also in desperate need of frontline starting pitching, relief arms and upgraded defense, but we're only going to focus on one thing here. Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer and Kyle Teel are well on their way Boston, but something that has largely been brushed aside due to the excitement of their impending arrivals is the fact that they're all lefties.

Archrivals meet for one last series in 2024, as the Yankees and Red Sox clash with postseason implications at stake in the Bronx. Boston is hoping to rekindle its first-half form down the stretch, and perhaps sneak into a wild card spot in the American League. The Red Sox entered this weekend's four-game series four games behind the Twins (78-68), who currently hold the third and final wild card. To heat up, Boston will need more from its offense, led by the dynamic duo of third baseman Rafael Devers and outfielder Jarren Duran. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/yankees-r...
