Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story, who signed a $140 million contract in 2022, will undergo shoulder surgery that will sideline him for around six months. This adds to the team's ongoing struggles.
A bad era for the Boston Red Sox continues to get worse. The Sox signed two-time Silver Slugger shortstop Trevor Story to a $140 million contract before the 2022 campaign – by the end of this year, he likely will have played less than a full season's worth of games from 2022-2024 combined.
Difficult to speculate beyond that,' chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said before Tuesday's home opener against Baltimore. 'But you can kind of do the math there.' The injury occurred when he hit the ground hard while making a backhand stop on Mike Trout’s single in the fourth inning on Saturday. Story writhed in pain on the outfield grass after landing with most of his body weight on his shoulder. The play resulted in a dislocation of the shoulder.
Perhaps it may have easy to predict that Story would have fallen off a bit leaving Colorado – during his time with the Rockies, his home/road splits were rather staggering. But even this was tough to predict. In his career at Coors Field, Story is a .303 hitter with a .972 OPS, but during his Rockies tenue, he slashed just .241/.310/.442. Now, since joining Boston, he owns a .227/.288/.394 slashline in just 145 games. In this short season, he was 7-for-31 .
Story has three years remaining on his deal and is able to opt out after the 2025 season – but it's pretty hard to imagine he will turn down the remaining $55 million on his deal.
