Rafael Devers of the Boston Red Sox has become a hot topic following his declaration to remain at third base despite the arrival of Gold Glove winner Alex Bregman. This statement has raised questions about Devers' long-term fit with the team, especially given his massive 10-year, $313.5 million contract signed before the 2023 season. Although there are no current trade talks concerning Devers, speculation has emerged, particularly about a potential trade with the New York Mets. Bleacher Report proposed a deal that would see Devers go to the Mets in exchange for outfielder Starling Marte and young prospects Brandon Sproat and Drew Gilbert.

The Mets, currently second in the NL, could benefit from Devers' addition, bolstering their lineup alongside stars like Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor. Meanwhile, the Red Sox would reduce salary roughly by $8.7 million and gain two promising young players who could contribute in the future. However, trading Devers remains a distant prospect, with no imminent plans from Boston.
