The Boston Red Sox have had an eventful off-season, to say the least. They lost their franchise player Xander Bogaerts as he signed an 11-year $280 million deal with the San Diego Padres. Furthermore, they have been criticized for not trying to replace Bogaerts with another star. But the Red Sox have been making some sneaky moves to add quality to their roster.
They recently signed veteran infielder Justin Turner to a 2-year deal reportedly worth approximately $22 million. The second year of the contract is a player option. This is a great signing for the Red Sox, and it appears that they had some help in recruiting Turner from a legendary NFL coach connected to Tom Brady.
