Scout’s note
Rafael Devers hits the ball hard enough to matter — an EV95 of 108.74, 84th percentile among the 379 qualified MLB bats the engine follows — and his results sit within 0.015 of what the physics say they should be. Nothing owed, nothing borrowed; the boards hunt mispricing, and his price is honest. He ranks No. 196 on the breakout composite, outside the top 20 the board takes. Over 14 MLB games through August 30 he hit .315 with five homers and a 1.051 OPS, but that is context for the read, not the reason the page exists.

Current signals
The read: Devers is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 108.7 (84th percentile of the 382 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.7) with results within 0.017 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 212 of 382 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

What he’s paid
Under contractA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s, as of .
- 2026 salary
- $23.81M
- Tax hit
- $27.47M
- Service time
- 8 yr 70 d
- Guaranteed
- $314M
The deal 10 years $313.5M (2024–2033), with an opt-out — $31.4M a year on average, worked out by us rather than stated on the sheet, and not the same thing as the tax hit above
On the sheet: 10 y/$313.5M (24-33)* · agent Klutch Spts · 3 / 3 options left
After this season, as the sheet has it
| Season | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $27.3M | $27.3M | $27.3M | $27.3M |
| Tax hit | $27.5M | $27.5M | $27.5M | $27.5M |
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, San Francisco Giants.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 | 2033 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | $27.5M | $31.0M | $31.0M | $31.0M | $31.0M | $29.0M | $29.0M | $29.0M |
A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
