3 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts will remain at shortstop in 2022 after the team signed Trevor Story on Sunday. Story has agreed to play second base for Boston. Bogaerts has an opt-out clause after the 2022 season that he's expected to exercise, so if Bogaerts leaves after this year, Story could move back to the 6 as early as 2023. Story prioritized winning and was willing to play second base in the short term. Bogaerts finished last season with a .295/.370/.493 slash line with 34 doubles, 23 home runs, 79 RBI and five steals in 144 games. His overall line would've looked a lot better if not for a disappointing second half in which he dealt with a wrist injury. The 29-year-old isn't a big power threat at the position, but he has a solid floor and should once again have plenty of RBI opportunities in a strong lineup.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
