The big news from Red Sox Nation on Monday was the official announcement of Xander Bogaerts' six-year, $120 million contract extension that should keep him in Boston through at least 2025 (although there is an opt out after the 2022 season).
The bad news from Red Sox Nation was another Boston starter having a less-than-stellar outing as the A's hit three home runs off David Price in a 7-0 victory, dropping the defending champions to 1-4 with six games yet to go on their season-opening 11-game road trip.
The final tally for Red Sox starters after one trip through the rotation: 32 runs allowed in 21 innings, including 11 home runs.
