Rafael Devers Ready to Be Face of Red Sox If Mookie Betts Is Traded Away

Rafael Devers is the most exciting young player on the Boston Red Sox.

Soon, he may take on another title: the face of the franchise.

After going 2-for-4 with a home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Cleveland Indians, the 22-year-old third baseman is hitting .327 with a .954 OPS.

Tack on his 6-for-6 performance in a 7-6 win over the Tribe on Tuesday, and he became the first Red Sox player in 81 years to record a hit in eight straight plate appearances. In that 6-for-6 outing, he also became the first player in MLB's modern era to notch six hits with four doubles.
