The Boston Red Sox made Rafael Devers' 10-year contract extension official, but it was Chaim Bloom who had a message for fans before it started.

NESN's Lauren Willand goes over some important details from Devers' press conference, including Tom Werner showing face, and discusses how John Henry played a role in helping get the deal done. It sounds as if the Red Sox do indeed want to build a team around Devers now that he's locked up for the foreseeable future.

Later, Lauren dives into Chaim Bloom's message to fans, which he had prepared after introductory statements were made at Devers' press conference. Lauren explains why -- even though it did seem heartfelt -- seemed too little too late.

Locked On Red Sox continues with going over who the Red Sox avoided arbitration with and tries to explain why Ryan Brasier remains on this roster.

Lauren concludes the show with the mental health minute with a stick tap to Boston Bruins center David Krejci.
