Now that Xander Bogaerts is with the San Diego Padres, there’s a new Red Sox player wearing No. 2 for the Red Sox in spring training.
Justin Turner, an outfielder who signed with Boston during the offseason after eight seasons with the Dodgers, has the number now.
Longtime Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy also wore No. 2 when he played for the team.
“I know obviously, there’s some history there with Bogey and Remy and I’ve read a little bit on social media,” Turner said. “I’m excited to hopefully make Remy proud of what I do and what I accomplish.
