Chaim Bloom’s response: After Xander Bogaerts opted out of his Red Sox contract earlier this week (making him a free agent this offseason), Boston chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom insisted that the shortstop remained the team’s “first choice” as a priority.
Shortly afterward, however, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported that the Red Sox might be planning for a future without Bogaerts.
“According to sources, the Red Sox have started reaching out to some teams regarding the availability of their second basemen, hoping to figure out Plan B in the likely event that Bogaerts leaves Boston,” wrote Feinsand.
