Red Sox agree to contract extension with shortstop Xander Bogaerts
Late Sunday night the Red Sox continued to secure their future by signing Xander Bogaerts to a long term extension in the range of 6 years and $120 million.
This was a tough opening weekend for the 2019 Boston Red Sox. Dropping three of their first four games to the Seattle Mariners was not how anyone envisioned the start to this season. Each starter has given up at least 6 runs and even this vaunted offense couldn’t make up for the pathetic performance by the starting pitchers.
However, that all changed when late Sunday night, Evan Drellich broke the news that the Red Sox were closing in on an extension with Xander Bogaerts.
