If ditching Mookie Betts enraged you, and losing Xander Bogaerts dismayed you, it's time to sit down, because Rafael Devers should be next on the chopping block.
The Red Sox can't let that happen. As things stand, they have four options: sign Devers now, trade him now, trade him at the deadline, or let him reach free agency.
That leaves either extending Devers or trading him this winter. By all means, try to sign him now, but good luck. If ownership wasn't willing to top $200 million for Bogaerts, will it suddenly find twice that for Devers? And would that even be a good investment? Devers is an outstanding offensive player, but he battled back issues last year and isn't necessarily viable long-term at third base.
Who might they call? The Padres wiped out their farm system acquiring Juan Soto last year, and they already have Machado at third, so they're probably out. But there's another deep-pocketed team with a need a third base that Bloom should call today, and that's the Mets.
