Joe Kelly talking on NESN right now. Said LeVangie sat the bullpen down before Game 1 of the ALDS and showed them a slide show of all the headlines saying the bullpen was why the Sox wouldn't win it all. Then he showed them a video of every strikeout from the bullpen all year.

Hard to overstate what Remy meant for me, and most of you I'd assume, as a young fan. Baseball can be a grind to follow on a day-to-day basis, but no one was better at making every game, even a mid-June blowout, enthralling and entertaining. RIP to one of the best to ever do it.

Third baseman Rafael Devers and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a one-year, $17.5 million deal to avoid arbitration, sources tell ESPN. This does not stop the sides from reaching a long-term contract extension. The fact that the sides got this deal done shows discussions.
