Seeing Trevor Story emerge from the home team dugout on Opening Day on Fenway Park with his arm wrapped up solidified a hard truth about the 2024 Red Sox: the infield is going to be trouble again.
A lot of the success of this team was hinging on Story playing 100+ games, showcasing Gold Glove defense and bringing right-handed hitting and power to the middle of the lineup. Look, I’m not going to blame Story for his injury, he was going all out to make a play, it was clearly a freak accident and I feel awful another season of his is cut short.
