Red Sox Avoid Arbitration With Rafael Devers
4 years agoThe Boston Red Sox avoided salary arbitration with third baseman Rafael Devers on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.575 million deal, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The 24-year-old broke out in 2019 with a .311 average, 32 home runs and 115 RBI while leading the league with 54 doubles and 359 totals bases. However, Devers hit just .263 in the shortened 2020 season and committed a league-high 14 errors. Boston avoided arbitration with left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez ($8.3 million), right-handers Matt Barnes ($4.5 million), Ryan Brasier ($1.25 million) and Austin Brice ($870,000) and catcher Kevin Plawecki ($1.6 million) back in December.
