Following a fantastic year for the Boston Red Sox, this week has seen their players clean up when it comes to the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards. With a number of Sox players claiming even more hardware to add to the ultimate prize – the Commissioners Trophy – there were also a handful of Boston contenders who were left out whilst trying to add even more.
The prolific shortstop Xander Bogaerts, who had, perhaps, the best year of his career, was one of the prime contenders who didn’t win an award.
Bogaerts was one of the Red Sox’s most crucial players during this exceptional season.
