No no trade clause? Wow lol. This strikes me as a good deal. A no brainer one could even argue. Just so happy. Honestly don’t even care about the no no trade but it is interesting. More interested in watching this man finish his career as a beloved Red Sox legend. He'd get 10/5 rights in 2028ish anyways, no? 0.0% chance we trade him in the next 5 years. Yeah good point lol. Excitement is shortcircuiting my brain a bit here. That’s a very easy concession for him to make.

BFT. Boy, did the front office/ownership need this to retain credibility with the fans.
Doesn't add anything to projections right now since he played with them last year, but it's very welcome news.

Mind explaining this one? New term for me. The way it's phrased is I'm imagine any deals over 10 years can be traded after 5 regardless, but I could be way wrong.

Well, in the end of you had to pick one of Mookie, Xander, Devers to pay until he's 38.
I'd probably pick Devers.

Captain Devers? Speaker of the House Devers?
Wonder if they'd put a C on his chest. Haven't heard much about his leadership abilities, so I truly have no idea. Xander would have been a more conventional captain.

All players with 10 years of service time, and 5 years with their current team get a bonus no trade clause.

It starts in 24. His 23 AAV is still his 17.5 arb number Ok gotcha. Kind of curious why they wouldn't just have signed him for 12 years at 348 and save a little on the AAV over the course of the deal. Leaves them an added 10ish million for this year though I suppose. Think it makes sense since they want to compete this year, need that 12M to fill out the roster for 23, and the difference ends up like $1M per year in AAV for the longer deal.

Let’s hope he ages like his childhood hero Adrian Beltre, not like Pablo Sandoval.

Well that's one fewer thing for people to complain about around here..... Yes, fans should never complain about 5th place 78 win teams who needlessly lose one of their two franchise players. Shame on them. Only verbal bouquets should be allowed.

Honestly, probably not great value, but I don't mind because Devers is tons of fun to watch.

Thank goodness! In 5 years this’ll probably be a bargain and he’ll only be entering his age 31 season.
