It’s been a little over a month since it was reported that longtime Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia had suffered another setback on his road to recovery. Shortly after that, it was reported that he’d be missing the beginning of spring training. As we’re now well into the Grapefruit League and players are gearing up for Opening Day in a few weeks, we’re highly unlikely to see Pedroia.
With each passing day, it feels like our chances of seeing Pedroia in a Red Sox uniform this season are getting slimmer. Boston CBO Chaim Bloom has already taken measures to ensure the team has a second baseman by signing Jose Peraza to a one-year deal and promoting Michael Chavis to the 40-man roster.
