SHOCKING NEWS:Red Sox’s $140 million man’s injury woes continue set to have…..
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.
After playing in just 94 games in his first season in Boston, and 43 last year, Story’s 2024 season is likely finished after just eight games, as he will be undergoing shoulder surgery that will sideline him for around six months.
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.
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 (.226).
The Sox inked Story to that deal after a surprise run to the American League Championship Series in which they lost to the Houston Astros.
