It’s no surprise to Red Sox centerfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. to see his name involved in the trade winds this winter. Hell, it feels like anytime there is even a rumor of a possible trade for Boston he’s included somehow. For several seasons now it seems that we’ve all read or heard some report that has the defensive dynamo heading to another city.
The rumblings don’t worry JBJ, however, as he knows that he doesn’t have much say in the matter. Trades can be one of the most exciting sporting situations for fans but they can also be heartbreaking in the same breath.
