The least-complicated way would be for Rafael Devers to come to the conclusion that $313.5 million brought the Red Sox the right to tell him to move to first base.

Devers won his third AL Player of the Week award during a time when his off-field comments are generating more headlines than his hot bat.

While his future with the Boston Red Sox has been questioned, Rafael Devers has been producing at the plate like no other player across MLB this season.

Giolito pitched 6⅔ strong innings in his best start since Sept. 15, 2023, while Devers hit the winning two-run homer.
