Second base. Some say it's the most unheralded position in baseball, the glue of the infield. There's been no shortage of legends who called the position home: from Roger Hornsby to Joe Morgan to Dustin Pedroia.In fantasy baseball, second base has been one of the least productive roster spots over these past few years. Outside of Marcus Semien, Jose Altuve, and Ozzie Albies, the position's production outlook is bleak.But maybe this is only a short-term lull. The current lack of offensive talent ...

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who played in 1,512 games for Boston from 2006-19, announced his retirement from Major League Baseball on Monday. The 37-year-old spent his 17-year career with the BoSox after he was a second-round draft pick in 2004. Pedroia won the World Series three times (2007, '13, '18), was the American League Rookie of the Year in 2007 and the MVP in 2008. He was an All-Star four times and won four Gold Glove awards at the keystone. He also won a Silver ...

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) is under contract for the 2021 season and would presumably have a clear path to everyday playing time at second base. But persistent knee troubles have limited him to just nine games over the last three seasons combined, and its not believed that he will play again. That leaves an open void at the keystone for the Red Sox to address either in free agency (DJ LeMahieu will be a free agent this winter) or in-house, which could leave Michael ...

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) is "still not at a point where he's thinking about trying to be ready to come back and joins us," according to manager Ron Roenicke. Pedroia hasn't officially retired, but things are quickly headed that way. The nine-time All-Star and former MVP (2008) and Rookie of the Year (2007) has played in a total of nine games the last two seasons due to complications from a knee injury, and he had a setback at the end of the last season while ...

Boston Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said that second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) won't report with the rest of the position players on Monday. It is now unlikely that Pedroia will be in spring training this year because of the significant setback he had with his left knee last month. The four-time All-Star and former Rookie of the Year and MVP has played in just nine games the last two seasons because of injuries, and the writing seems to be on the wall for the 36-year-old to hang up his ...

Boston Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke is unsure if second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) will report to spring training before the first full-squad workout on Monday. Pedroia has been held to nine games over the last two seasons due to a left knee injury, and he suffered a significant setback in his rehab late last month. The 36-year-old's status for the 2020 season is in doubt, and there's a real possibility that he calls it quits if he can't play at all this season. If Boston is able to get ...

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) suffered what sources are calling a significant setback with his left knee. Pedroia is discussing his options with his family, agents and the Red Sox, and his availability for spring training is questionable. The 36-year-old has played in a combined nine games the last two seasons because of his knee issues, so this could very well be the end of the line for the former Rookie of the Year, MVP and four-time All-Star second baseman. Pedroia was ...

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee), who is not considering another surgery, said he's unsure if he'll be able to play again. "I'm at a point right now where I need some time. That's what my status is," Pedroia said. The veteran second baseman has been shut down on his rehab assignment with Double-A Portland after another setback on Friday. He's managed to play in only nine games the last two seasons, and it's fair to wonder if Pedroia will ever play in the majors again at this [...]

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia(knee) may be done for the season after being transferred to the 60-day injury list on Monday. His career also could be in jeopardy. The 35-year-old, who was with the Portland Sea Dogs on an injury rehab assignment, left the team's game on Friday and was scratched from Saturday's contest as he continued to battle knee issues that have given him problems since 2017. Pedroia was on his third rehab assignment of the season and was just 3-for-21 at the pla[...]
