Thank you Xander Bogaerts for your contributions to the Red Sox. Have fun with the Padres. We'll miss you!
This captures it well. I'll always appreciate Xander not just for what he did for the club in terms of performance, but for the way in which he did it. Just seemed like one of the calming influences that a competitive team in the Boston market needs to have in the clubhouse.I appreciate all he did for the club and wish him well in SD, but I don't blame either side for coming to their respective decisions about the contract he received from the Padres.
