Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts told The Athletic that he was recently told by the team that he will not be traded before the Aug. 2 deadline despite various rumors that he would be available.
As he continues to play in his 10th season with the Red Sox, the 29-year-old admitted that he feels better learning this news since it’s the first time in his career that he’s been in this uncertain position.
“I don’t want to say relief, but obviously more relaxing,” Bogaerts said. “This is my first time really, really dealing with this. It’s been up and down.”
