The Red Sox will wear uniform patches this season in remembrance of Boston infielder and broadcaster Jerry Remy, who died last October at the age of of 68.
On Tuesday, the Red Sox avoided arbitration with five players, signing them to one-year deals.
Rafael Devers, still only 25 years old, agreed to a $11.2 million contract for 2022. He has one year of arbitration-eligibility remaining. The others: Alex Verdugo ($3.55 million), Nick Pivetta ($2.65 million), Christian Arroyo ($1.2 million) and Josh Taylor ($1.025 million).
Fun Fact: Rich Hill has signed with the Red Sox, as a free agent, seven times!

From the MLB.com article regarding the Remy patches:
ReplyDeleteThis will be the first time since 2012, when they celebrated the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park, that the Sox will wear commemorative patches for an entire season. ... The Sox wore patches during the last three months of the '02 season to honor Ted Williams after he passed away that July.
Checking BB-Ref, Devers is represented by Rep1 Baseball, which is managed by Peter Greenberg. They also represent Luis Severino, Eloy Jimenez, Ronald Acnua Jr., and Starling Marte. I'm not familiar with any talks between the Sox and Devers regarding a contract extension, but clearly he will command much more than $11.2M once he reaches free agency, so will Boston try to sign him before then, and are they willing to give him a long-term contract worth well above $100M in value?
ReplyDeleteAnd the fucking ghost runner is back!
ReplyDeleteThe Remy patch is great.
