Red Sox Rumors: Bogaerts was core player in extension talks

This has been one hell of an offseason for Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts. Coming off of a great 2018 season and earning his second World Series ring, the star shortstop has been in the news almost daily. Whether it be free agency rumors for the 2020 window or trade talks, Bogey has been a popular guy.

During the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas Bogaerts’ name came up in conversations as possible trade pieces for Dave Dombrowski and the Red Sox. Dombrowski was looking to unload some of the salaries on the club for players about to enter free agency.
