Willson Contreras' strong performance puts Boston Red Sox first baseman in All-Star conversation

First baseman Willson Contreras has emerged as the Boston Red Sox's most consistent hitter, posting a .304/.396/.570 slash line with 16 home runs and 43 RBIs in 67 games. His production could earn him a fourth All-Star selection and a $50,000 bonus under his five‑year, $87 million contract, offering a rare bright spot for a team that currently ranks near the bottom of the AL East.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox are evaluating the possibility of reacquiring former third‑baseman Rafael Devers. The San Francisco Giants have indicated they are open to offers for their high‑paid position players, including Devers, prompting Boston to consider a trade that could add power to its lineup without absorbing his full contract.
