Trevor Story 'comfortable' with move to 2B, praises Boston Red Sox teammate Xander Bogaerts

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A bunch of Red Sox players reached out to recruit longtime Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story when he was considering whether to sign with Boston.

Even Xander Bogaerts, the man he might soon replace.

"Bogie's been amazing throughout this process of me coming here," Story said Wednesday after the Red Sox made it official that he would join the team to play second base -- for now.

"He reached out to me. We talked on the phone for a little bit. He didn't have to do that," Story said.
