The Boston Red Sox are currently home for the offseason after getting swept by the New York Yankees in the Wild Card Series.

Despite their tough ending to the season, the Red Sox had a year to be proud of as they went from being among the worst teams in baseball to the playoffs.

With their season over, it’s worth taking a look at Xander Bogaerts.

The former Red Sox All-Star is coming off his 4th year playing for the San Diego Padres.

He finished the year batting .231 with 120 hits, 13 home runs, 57 RBIs, 68 runs and 22 stolen bases in 153 games.

Bogaerts is also in the middle of a massive contract that will pay him $25 million until the end of the 2033 season (h/t Spotrac).

Therefore, the Padres still owe him $175 million.
