Dustin Pedroia News
Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who played in 1,512 games for Boston from 2006-19, announced his retirement from Major League Baseball on Monday. The 37-year-old spent his 17-year career with the BoSox after he was a second-round draft pick in 2004. Pedroia won the World Series three times (2007, '13, '18), was the American League Rookie of the Year in 2007 and the MVP in 2008. He was an All-Star four times and won four Gold Glove awards at the keystone. He also won a Silver Slugger in 2008. Pedroia is the only player in history to win a World Series, earn an MVP, Rookie of the Year and Gold Glove in their first two seasons. He finishes his career hitting .299 (1,805-for-6,031) with a .365 on-base percentage, 140 home runs, 394 doubles, 725 RBI, 922 runs scored, 138 stolen bases and only 30 fewer walks (624) than strikeouts (654). He ranks in the top 10 in Red Sox history in hits (eight), doubles (sixth), runs (10th), steals (sixth), extra-base hits (eight), total bases (eighth) and at-bats (ninth).
Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) is under contract for the 2021 season and would presumably have a clear path to everyday playing time at second base. But persistent knee troubles have limited him to just nine games over the last three seasons combined, and its not believed that he will play again. That leaves an open void at the keystone for the Red Sox to address either in free agency (DJ LeMahieu will be a free agent this winter) or in-house, which could leave Michael Chavis or Christian Arroyo as an option.
Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) is "still not at a point where he's thinking about trying to be ready to come back and joins us," according to manager Ron Roenicke. Pedroia hasn't officially retired, but things are quickly headed that way. The nine-time All-Star and former MVP (2008) and Rookie of the Year (2007) has played in a total of nine games the last two seasons due to complications from a knee injury, and he had a setback at the end of the last season while rehabbing. He turns 37 this August and is unlikely to make it back to the big leagues, let alone have a big impact with the major league club again. You can continue to ignore Pedroia in fantasy. Boston could use a platoon of Jose Peraza and Michael Chavis at the keystone this season.
