Pedro Martinez Couldn’t Be Happier About Xander Bogaerts’ Red Sox Extension
The Boston Red Sox on Monday eliminated a bit of uncertainty regarding their future.
Prior to their series opener against the Oakland Athletics, the Red Sox officially signed Xander Bogaerts to a six-year contract extension. The 26-year-old shortstop was set to become a free agent at the conclusion of the 2019 Major League Baseball season.
The deal sure seems like a win for both sides. Just ask Pedro Martinez, who rattled off a number of reasons why Bogaerts’ new contract with the Red Sox is a home run.
Tough to argue with any of those points the Red Sox legend made.
As for Bogaerts himself, a love for Boston and a legitimate opportunity to win for years to come highlighted his reasons for signing long term with the club that acquired him 10 years ago.
