Let’s just look at the facts. Trevor Story was signed late in the spring. The Red Sox then low-balled Xander Bogaerts on a contract offer. Then Bogaerts reached free agency and opted out. And now the Red Sox – on yesterday, Nov. 16 – have gone public with the information that they have improved their offers to both Bogaerts and Rafael Devers, the latter of whom is not eligible for free agency until after next season. If you’re not worried, you should be.
