    They did try to extend Devers earlier, right after Bogaerts rebuffed the 4 year $90mill extension.. They offered Devers a deal similar to the extension Matt Olson received in Atlanta, with the article stating they viewed him as a first baseman long term.

    Devers did not agree with their assessment...

    this was a good move but it does nothing to improve the team in the meantime

    Yeah aa 50% success rate is about the ceiling in everything about this RS season.

    That’s the MLB success rate on FA’s. Giving the Sox a 50% ranking, which is normal, is out of character, for you.

    Your reading comprehension is alarming.

    Sorry to side with jad here, but he's absolutely right. Not what he said at all.
    WAR is good for something.
