The Red Sox formally announced the agreement of a 10-year contract extension with Rafael Devers on Wednesday morning. The deal will keep Devers in Boston through the 2033 season.
Devers, 26, has been with the Red Sox since signing with Boston as a 16-year-old on Aug. 9, 2013. The two-time All-Star beamed as he spoke at the press conference held inside Fenway Park.
“I’ve always had a sense that everyone here understands the amount of passion and work that I put towards the game and I felt that that alone was enough to give me that confidence that something was going to get done,” Devers said when asked if he had a sense that an extension was going to get worked out.
