The Red Sox had a special guest at Saturday’s spring training practice in Fort Myers.
Red Sox icon Dustin Pedroia joined the team for the day, helping to coach the team up for a handful of hours. Pedroia’s remained close with the Red Sox since announcing his retirement in February 2021, especially holding a good relationship with his friend Alex Cora.
Pedroia called back to the times that Cora helped him out when he making his way into the majors in 2006 and 2007, recalling the strong advice he gave him. Now, he wants to help pay it back.
