Breaking news : Blockbuster Proposal Sees Red Sox Trade Rafael Devers to NL Contender For 2 All-Stars, Top Prospect

 

 

way, the Boston Red Sox may have an unhappy camper in franchise cornerstone Rafael Devers.

In the wake of Gold Glove third baseman Alex Bregman signing with the club, the 28-year-old Devers recently made it clear that he wasn’t planning on being relegated to designated hitter duties and the hot corner was his place to stay. Manager Alex Cora has said all winter that Devers is, indeed, still the team’s starter at third base, meaning that Bregman would likely shift to second base.

The new acquisition, for what it’s worth, has said that he’ll play wherever the team wants him to.

 

With rumblings of Devers’ discontent surrounding Red Sox camp, Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer pitched eight “wild” trade ideas that would send the 2018 World Series champion packing.

Rymer did note that at this point, a Devers trade is “probably overly dramatic,” though Boston is “to blame for the existence of this notion.”

 

With the three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger Award winner having signed the richest contract in franchise history ahead of the 2023 campaign (11 years, $331 million), any Devers trade is made even that much more unrealistic. Crazier things have happened, however.

One of the more intriguing ideas proposed by Rymer involves the Philadelphia Phillies:

Miller has yet to make his big-league debut, after being selected by Philadelphia with the 27th overall pick during the 2023 MLB June Amateur Draft. Miller is the Phillies’ No. 3 prospect — per Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter — reached Double-A late in the 2024 campaign and recently said he wants to make it to “The Show” “as fast as (he) can.”

 

 

Bohm is entering his sixth MLB season (all with Philadelphia), after the organization picked him third overall in 2018.

The 2020 NL Rookie of the Year runner-up regressed in 2021 before bouncing back with career highs in runs scored (79) and hits (164) in 2022. Bohm then posted career bests in home runs (20) and RBI (97) in 2023 and had arguably his best year to date in 2024, making his first All-Star team.
