3 years agoThe Boston Red Sox avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday with third baseman Rafael Devers by giving him a one-year, $11.2 million deal, according to a source. The 25-year-old Dominican was a first-time All-Star in 2021, hitting .279/.352/.538 with an .890 OPS, career-high 38 home runs, 113 RBI and 101 runs scored for the BoSox in 664 plate appearances over 156 games played. Devers has a high floor and a high ceiling for fantasy managers and is still relatively cheap in fantasy drafts. He's so attractive because of his elite barrel rate and his low strikeout totals, and he should also continue to rack up the counting stats in a loaded Boston lineup.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
