New Red Sox signee Trevor Story will make his spring training debut for the team on Wednesday, according to manager Alex Cora.
Story, who inked a six-year $140 million deal earlier this month, was yet to play in the spring training slate. He will play Friday and Saturday in addition to Wednesday, according to Cora, and he is expected to be ready for the start of the season despite lingering elbow issues.
Story’s week has been a wild one — the 29-year-old signed his contract 10 days ago, arrived in Fort Myers on Wednesday, then immediately flew home to be with his wife for the birth of their son.
