Red Sox avoid arbitration with Rafael Devers


The Boston Red Sox and third baseman Rafael Devers agreed to a one-year, deal, avoiding arbitration, the team announced Tuesday.

The deal is reportedly worth $17.5 million, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Devers, 26, is in the final year of arbitration before being eligible to hit free agency for the first time next winter. The two sides have reportedly been discussing long-term extensions and this deal does not prevent that from happening in the future, Passan adds.
