What The Deuce: Justin Turner, Xander Bogaerts, And The Number 2

That’s right folks, it’s gonna be a jersey number blog. Stick around for the fun. There’s the back button. No one would blame ya.

Red Sox Nation found out earlier this month that newly-acquired corner infielder Justin Turner will be wearing the number 2 on his back during his Boston tenure. New number announcements in the offseason often tend to come and go, but the deuce being issued again struck a familiar chord with fans. Can’t imagine why.

With Xander Bogaerts off to the West Coast after signing a megalodon-sized deal with the San Diego Dads, the number he sported for nearly a decade at Fenway Park was surrendered.
