Dustin Pedroia Announces His Retirement

Fuck Yeah!

Dustin Pedroia, the second baseman who spent his entire 17-year professional career with the Red Sox, announced his retirement today.

Pedroia, 37, was the American League Rookie of the Year in 2007, and a member of the World Series champions. He was named the AL Most Valuable Player the next season. Pedroia also played on the 2013 and 2018 World Series-winning teams.

Pedroia is the only major league player to win a World Series title, and MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Gold Glove awards in his first two full seasons. Pedroia played in 14 major league seasons, and his 1,506 games at second base are the second-most in team history, behind Bobby Doerr (1,865).
