Kevin Pillar no longer is a member of the Boston Red Sox.

So, the outfielder offered up some thanks to the squad on his way out.

Pillar took to Instagram on Monday night after the trade with a message of gratitude for the Sox after Boston traded him to the Colorado Rockies. And he made sure to leave in a classy way.

"Thank you @redsox organization. First class from top to bottom," Pillar wrote in Monday's post. "It was a dream to call Fenway home. Players and staff that I interacted with daily, I’ll miss you and be cheering for you from afar. Excited to be heading back west and joining the @rockies organization. ✌🏽headed to the mile high city 🏔"

Pillar averaged .274 at the plate in 30 games with Boston.
