Christian Vazquez Blasts Red Sox For Disrespecting Xander Bogaerts

The Red Sox botched the Xander Bogaerts thing. We know it. They know it. The players know it. Bogaerts signed with the Padres this Winter, but it never should have gotten to that point. Boston low balled Bogaerts during negotiations last Spring and never righted the wrong. One former member of the 2018 World Series team, Christian Vazquez, blasted the organization for the way they handled the Bogaerts thing.

VIA WEEI:

“I was thinking he was coming back to finish his career there. He is a big part of that organization before, but it’s a business. I don’t know, he’ll look weird in another uniform.”

“The people don’t get the inside of what happened inside the clubhouse and all that stuff. He deserved more respect from the front office, everybody. He’s a star, I think you need to respect that. Respect what he did for the organization – he got two rings with that organization. I feel like he deserved more than that.”

By the way, he’s right. Bogaerts will look weird in another uniform, he’s a total star, and the Red Sox handled this so wrong. Bogaerts is the best shortstop in franchise history and arguably the best one in baseball. You can’t replace him. The Red Sox will find that out the hard way in 2023.

It’s all bad vibes right now with the Sox. Check out Karl’s post on John Henry’s bad time at Winter Weekend.

Vazquez, 32, signed a free agent deal with the Twins this offseason. He’s expected to handle a bulk of the catching duties with Minnesota in 2023. Ryan Jeffers is the only other catcher on the Twins 40-man roster.
