Steve Pearce: ‘There’s nowhere I’d rather play’

Steve Pearce said there’s nowhere he’d rather play than Boston.

The reigning World Series Most Valuable Player, who in November agreed to a one-year deal with the Red Sox, told reporters Thursday he’s eager to play at least one more season with the team he rooted for as a kid.

“This is where I want to be,” Pearce said. “I want to be able to defend our title here.”

Pearce said the World Series feels like it happened so long ago. He’s ready for next season to begin and anxious to keep this run of success going.
