TAMPA, Fla. — DJ LeMahieu watched Trevor Story’s free agency closely. The two were teammates in Colorado, of course he had some interest where the shortstop would end up.
The Yankees flirted with the idea of adding Story, then moved on to trade for Isiah Kiner-Falefa. On Sunday, Story agreed to a deal with the Red Sox.
“It’s the one team I didn’t want him to go to,” LeMahieu said Monday morning. “He’s a great player. You don’t want to have to face him so many times. But I texted him yesterday and I am excited for him.”
