Wade Boggs shed light on some Red Sox-Yankees history: In late 1992, Wade Boggs opted to swap his Red Sox uniform for Yankee pinstripes as a free agent. It was, from a Boston standpoint, an infamous turnabout from a future Hall of Famer.
Boggs, who went on to win the lone World Series of his career while a member of the Yankees in 1996, recently offered some new details on the backstory behind his decision to exit Boston for New York. He spoke to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi on “The Road to Cooperstown” podcast during Hall of Fame weekend in July.
