Red Sox win big with team-friendly Xander Bogaerts contract extension

With the series in Seattle finally over, some good news circled its way around the web on Sunday Night. Xander Bogaerts became the 22nd player to sign an extension this season. While a 7-year, $132 million deal seems like a lot to pay for most people, Bogaerts took a huge pay cut to stay with this team. While Bogaerts is still one of the few underrated players on the Red Sox, he could’ve earned a lot more on the open market.

Nolan Arenado, the Colorado Rockies star third basemen, earned himself an 8-year, $260 million deal in late February.
