One of the most fascinating stories to follow in the MLB this season has been the growing discord between the Boston Red Sox and their star slugger Rafael Devers, who signed a 10-year, $313.5 million contract extension with Boston back in January 2023.

The New York Mets are looking like serious contenders in the National League. However, they will face a big decision this offseason.

The answer to that question is probably no, especially since Mountcastle has another year of club control, but this is a player the Red Sox should look to target. He isn't a star, but he's an above-average first baseman, which is a major upgrade over what Boston has right at that position internally right now.
