‘His smile was priceless’: Rafael Devers was thrilled for good friend Xander Bogaerts’ All-Star selection

The Red Sox got some good news on Sunday when Major League Baseball announced that Xander Bogaerts would join his good friend Rafael Devers on the American League All-Star Team.

The 29-year-old Bogaerts will play in his fourth All-Star game, while Devers makes his second appearance.

“It’s special, you know. I feel like every time it’s different,” Bogaerts told reporters. “It’s definitely something that in the offseason you have in your mind. If you want to say you have some goals set, I think obviously every player individually would want something like this.
