On Sunday night, the Boston Red Sox and their star shortstop reportedly agreed to a contract extension. This new deal will see Xander Bogaerts earn $132 million over the next seven years.
This is obviously good news for Sox fans, as Bogaerts has been a key player to what Boston has done over the last six years. However, this agreement could have many future implications on how the front office plans to go forward with this outstanding group of players. This news comes just a week after ace Chris Sale agreed his 5-year, $145m extension – it’s been a busy opening week to see season both on and off the diamond.
