"In the first three years of his free agent deal, Story put up just 4.1 total bWAR, as he struggled to stay on the field and then battled strike outs when he was healthy. But with a 3.3 bWAR season this year, Story looks something like his old Rockies self, which could lead to an interesting offseason and something that seemed unthinkable at the start of the year: might Trevor Story opt-out of his contract at the end of the year?"
"Complicating the Red Sox decision as to what to do with Story is the fact that the club still doesn't know what it has in Marcelo Mayer, who displayed both promise and typical rookie struggles this year, before (again) going down with a season-ending injury. But the Red Sox do know what they have in Roman Anthony, who became the youngest Red Sox player to hit a leadoff homer last night."
Trevor Story struggled his first three years in Boston, totaling 4.1 bWAR while battling injuries and strikeouts, but produced a 3.3 bWAR season this year. Story has two remaining guaranteed seasons at $25 million per year through 2027 and an offseason opt-out; if he opts out the Red Sox can add a third $25 million year for 2028. Nathaniel Lowe also emerged as a surprising performer. The club remains uncertain about Marcelo Mayer after promise and a season-ending injury, while Roman Anthony became the youngest Red Sox to hit a leadoff home run. Richard Fitts left a game with right bicep tightness but is not yet an MRI candidate.
