As the Red Sox get set to send Dustin Pedroia on a rehab assignment this week many questions have come up on what his future may hold. It’s no secret that the pesky left knee of the longtime second baseman will never be 100%, but does that mean his career is over?
I truly hope that Pedroia has plenty of miles left on the tires but sometimes the sports Gods aren’t that kind. In m ideal world he’ll transition to a bit of a role player or mentor for the younger talent on the roster. He could be a huge asset to Alex Cora off the bench as well as coaching guys like Michael Chavis and Tzu-Wei Lin at second to eventually replace him.
