Following the trade of star player Rafael Devers to the Giants, the Red Sox are considering using the fiscal flexibility gained from the deal to enhance their roster. With San Francisco taking on the remaining $254 million of Devers' contract, Boston could free up to $29 million annually for the next eight years. Reports suggest the team may not wait until next offseason to spend this money, with intentions to pursue significant additions ahead of the MLB trade deadline, especially after a recent performance boost in their record.
The Devers deal opens the door for a major trade deadline addition of a controllable, high-dollar player, indicating the Red Sox still intend to buy at the deadline.
Boston does have a significant amount of money coming off the books as a result of Sunday’s deal, which provides flexibility to retool its roster.
