FORT MYERS, Florida -- Dustin Pedroia says if he had to do it all over again, he wouldn't have the knee surgery after the 2017 season that sidelined him for all but three games in 2018.
"No, I wouldn't have done it. I don't regret doing it, but looking back and knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have done it," the Boston Red Sox second baseman said Friday.
After playing through discomfort throughout the 2017 season, the surgery on his left knee involved a cartilage restoration procedure that involves grafting cartilage from a cadaver to fit in the damaged area.
