As speculation builds around his future in Boston, the Chicago Cubs are emerging as a potential trade suitor for Boston Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers. With the Red Sox signing Alex Bregman this offseason, Devers has found himself at a crossroads, and the Cubs could be in a prime position to take advantage.

With Alex Bregman not backing down from his wishes for a long-term contract, the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs are weighing backup options.

The controversy over which position $313.5 million slugger Rafael Devers will play in the Boston Red Sox infield may have repercussions for another player.
