If I intend to opt out and test the market? No. Not even a little bit.Would you be willing to move for a few months in order to play baseball on a playoff team instead of a loser trading away it's best players?
My stuff is here. Wife/family considerations. Living out of a suitcase and leaving family behind for a couple of few months is no big deal, and I've done it for much, much longer, but I wouldn't do it at all if I didn't have a huge incentive to do so.
For Bogaerts, I'm sure playing on a playoff team is nice, but he probably expects to do that with the Red Sox this year. A place where he is comfortable and the fans love him. Will Boston be eliminated from playoff contention by the trade deadline? I seriously doubt that.
Making the playoffs is probably much less fun as a rental for a few months where he has to get used to new teammates and maybe learn a new league.
Now maybe the Red Sox find a team that wants to give Bogaerts a big market-rate extension, and it is a team that he wants to go to. More 'new forever home' than short term rental. I'm sure he'd do that. But I think that might be a really hard deal to find. Seems unlikely.
