The Red Sox have long alluded to the fact if the team didn't re-sign Stephen Drew, then Xander Bogaerts would be the starting shortstop. Red Sox manager John Farrell reiterated the team's plan Monday during an interview with MLB Network Radio.
"I'm surprised a guy with his ability is still available," Farrell said of Drew. "If he doesn't come back, then Xander Bogaerts is our shortstop."
