It looks like the Xander Bogaerts project isn’t dead in Boston.
According to what is circulating, the Red Sox are at the heart of big negotiations with the shortstop in an attempt to orchestrate his return to Boston.
Quite frankly, I always thought it was too late for Boston, which never seemed to want to give the star what it deserved.
Would Big Papi have shuffled the club or the player to create rapprochements?
We know that Bogaerts has always wanted to stay in Boston, but only if it comes at the right price. Is common ground possible?
Recall that the Sox have always offered too small offers to the star since the beginning of the negotiation process.
Is the modus operandi of the Yankees, who increased their offer for Aaron Judge, motivated the owners to loosen the purse strings?
If Bogaerts were to return, the Sox would have a good day. After all, they signed Kenley Jansen earlier this morning.
Obviously, Bogaerts is a coveted man. Clubs like the Giants and Padres would be in on it to pick it up.
To be continued, then.
- Jacques Doucet was again ignored.
- Carlos Rodon is still a Yankees target.
