The panic , joy and general overreaction to opening day results are a rite of spring. Not to be taken seriously.

I remember it being discussed but also that the discussion was futile because no one was likely to pay even half his salary following such a tough showing in 2020. Now he is here for 2021, the best strategy is to let him try to return to his past good form. Letting him try means at least a couple of months. If it doesn't work out, we should know by then. Not as if we will be compromising a shot at the pennant.
Yeah, if only they had dumped JD a couple of days ago, they'd have a shutout going today, and would have had a damn good chance of a no-hitter yesterday.
"Fans have become more entitled than anything. So they're starting to question our motives for the game, or how we approach the game. The ones that do question -- like who are you? Just shut up and watch the game tonight." --Kevin Durant on players' lack of effort in regular season games.
I’m not overreacting on Devers... I was saying this last year! My point has been what is he worth when it’s time to sign the big deal he’s going to demand! If this team is in a true rebuild why wouldn’t you dangle him out there to a contender down the stretch.... who really wants to pay 18-25 a year on DH
I'm not sure why so many people seem to be writing him off at 1B. Not that 1Bmen get major bucks, either, but I think he can and will be a plus defender at 1B, if he is ever moved there.
Even if he does end up at DH, if JD was worth $22M, and maybe he wasn't, what should Devers get?
Sox 4 Ever
Most Sox fans liked JD's contract a lot when he signed it.
And he has earned it up till now.
Talk about trading him and eating money just shows what a low point the team is at.
