Two things are true. 5/$175 with a no trade clause is too much for Bregman. And, it is also true that BOS needs to and should do at least 1 big signing in what is left of the off season. If they do not, criticism is warranted. If they do, time will tell.
And we need to let go of Devers. Devers could not hold up playing 3B. He got injured every year. He is not the answer for who?s on 3rd or 1st. It seems they could have gotten more trading him but all could still be well if they sign Bichette (for example).
