BREAKING: Red Sox Craig Breslow Delivers Good News on Frequently Injured $140 Million Star Trevor Story
Every spring, the Red Sox paint an optimistic picture of Trevor Story’s health and potential, despite the shortstop playing just 163 games over three injury-riddled seasons in Boston. The team, however, has built a lineup that can succeed even if Story suffers another setback. They added Alex Bregman to join Rafael Devers, expect first baseman Triston Casas to return healthy, and could see top prospect Roman Anthony debut later this summer.
Still, if Story can regain his form—after hitting 158 home runs in six seasons with Colorado—he could be a major boost to Boston’s lineup, especially given their need for right-handed power. He’s off to a strong start this spring, batting .476 with two home runs in seven games.
When asked for a standout player, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow singled out Story, highlighting his full recovery, defensive skills, and improved bat speed.
While Story has impressed early, the same was true last spring. A productive return would be a big lift for the Red Sox, but given his injury history, there’s reason to remain cautious.
