It happened again. The Boston Red Sox, one of the most valuable franchises in sports, let alone baseball, allowed another homegrown star player go without putting up much of a fight. Of course, they were more actively involved with the jettisoning of Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers in early 2020, since they actually traded him, but the front office certainly had a hand in losing Xander Bogaerts to free agency by letting him get there in the first place. For the last year or more, Bogaerts’ future with the Red Sox was in flux and at every turn, all the way to the finish line, it seems like the organization either failed at or were disinterested in keeping him in Boston.
