Yoshida has produced in 2+ years what Devers does in an average year.  Same with Story in 3+ years.  Yoshida isn't fast and has one of the poorest arms so he is a a well below averaged Dan Hurley.
They're not winning a world series this year, so who cares if Bregman is back because he is opting out and leaving town.  He loves Cora, but he is at the beginning of the 2nd half of his career and he wants playoffs and chances at the WS, which isn't happening anytime soon.  Chapman, Wilson and potentially Duran are the next to go, and probably won't be able to get out from Story's and Yoshida's bad contracts in those deals unless they take no high end prospects in those deals.
Finally, Boston is no longer a prime destination for free agents.  Remember, Bregman kind of ended up in Boston by process of elimination.  I get Ortiz's comments, but he wasn't moved asked to move twice and he has talked about how becoming a full time Dan Hurley was a big change mentally for him in his approach and it took some time to accept it and he had to play first in some games of the World Series if he wanted to play at all.
