A lot of questions lie ahead for star Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts, who very well could be playing his final season for Boston with an opt-out in his contract coming up at the end of the 2022 season.
But for right now, the two-time World Series champion is keeping his mind on the present.
In an interview with The Boston Globe‘s Stan Grossfeld, Bogaerts talked about the upcoming Red Sox season and even laid out a few goals for himself for 2022. Chief among them: breaking into the 20 home run/20 steal club.
Though Bogaerts has topped the 20-homer threshold four times, including last season, the most bases he’s ever stolen in one year is 13.
