<p>When the <a href="https://www.mlb.com/redsox" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Boston Red Sox</strong></a> traded <strong>Mookie Betts</strong> and <strong>David Price</strong> to the<strong> Los Angeles Dodgers, </strong>most people thought it was the beginning of the end for them and their winning days. Some even speculated that<strong> Xander Bogaerts</strong> could also be shipped before the start of the season.</p>
<p>Boston held on to the Aruban shortstop for this campaign and thus far, he’s proving to be their leader on and off the field, hitting <strong>.273 with 12 runs, 13 RBIs, 2 stolen bases, and an OBP of .337 </strong>through the first 23 games of the season.</p>
<p>So, why on earth should the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/all-red-sox-retired-numbers-fenway-legends-20200810-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Red Sox </a>consider trading their franchise cornerstone? Well, for starters,<strong> their farm system isn’t looking good at all</strong>. They must make some moves planning ahead to the future.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Second, <strong>the Red Sox continue to slide in the AL East</strong>. They’re currently sitting at a 6-18 record and trail the New York Yankees by 10.5 games. They’re not going to make the playoffs and that’s not going to change any time soon. But still, that’s not the biggest reason to trade Xander Bogaerts this season. So what is it then?<span></span></p>

<h2>Xander Bogaerts’ Contract: The No-Trade Clause</h2>
<p>The Red Sox signed Xander Bogaerts to a huge contract extension in 2019. That new deal <strong>could keep him at Fenway Park through 2025</strong> while paying him $20 million a year, which is pretty reasonable considering his contributions.</p>
<p>Then again, his contract includes<strong> a no-trade clause once he reaches seven years of service in <a href="https://www.mlb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Majors</a>.</strong> As you may have noticed by now, he could reach that milestone as soon as September2020, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. That’s right after the August 31 trade deadline.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-32">   </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>So, if the Red Sox want to make the most out of their most valuable asset without his consent, <strong>they must act now</strong>. Bogaerts’ talents could come handily on pretty much every team on earth, and his value is an all-time high as he enters his prime at just 27 years old.</p>

<p>Therearen’t two teams inMLBthat hate each other more than the New York Yankees and Red Sox. Hell, the Yankees vs Red Sox rivalry may even be<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/15-biggest-mlb-rivalries-of-all-time-20200727-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> the biggest in all sports.</a> <strong>It goes far beyond the field.</strong></p>
<p>Throughout the course of history, the <em>Bronx Bombers</em><strong> have found more success as a team than the Red Sox.</strong> They’re the winningest team in <a href="https://www.mlb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Baseball</a> history but still, they had a tough time getting past Boston when they had to face off.</p>
<p>That’s no longer the case.<strong> Aaron Boone’s</strong> Yankees have completely owned the Red Sox over the past couple of years, up to the point where the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/yankees-vs-red-sox-15-stars-who-played-for-both-teams-20200806-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yankees vs Red Sox rivalry</a><strong> has reached its most lopsided point ever.</strong></p>

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/amazing-new-york-yankees-soccer-mlb-jersey-edition-20200813-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yankees</a> recently completed a 3-game series sweep over the Red Sox to extend their winning streak over them to 9 games. They’re a perfect 6-0 vs Boston this season and have <strong>now won14 out of their past 15 matchups.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div class="ckeditor-poll" data-path="/usa/encuestas/Encuesta1597674286132" id="ckePolls_1597674306237" style="text-align:left"> <span data-src="/usa/encuestas/Encuesta1597674286132"></span></div>
<p></p>
<p>That’s their second-longest winning streak since they took 12 straight games from Boston between April 16, 152 to April 23, 1953.<strong> They’vealso won 20 of their past 24 home games vs the Red Sox</strong>, so yeah, that’s not a good look forBoston.</p>

<h2>Is This Ever Going To End?</h2>
<p>Well, we already knew that the Yankees and Red Sox were going to be on the opposite side of the standings this season. <strong>Boston lost Mookie Betts</strong> and theirpitching rotation woes have only been topped by their lack of scoring.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>The Yankees, on the other hand, entered the season as one of the toughest teams out of the American League and haveanobligation to put an end to their World Series drought. They’re stacked and have a far superior roster than Boston, so yeah, <strong>it may be a while before the Red Sox can get back at them.</strong></p>

<p>Not everybody can play for the <strong>Boston Red Sox</strong>. In most cases, just top-tier players get the honor of calling the<em> Green Monster</em> home, and that’s for a very good reason. Even more, it’s not easy- at all -to be among the Red Sox retired numbers.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p>As a matter of fact, the<a href="https://www.mlb.com/redsox" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Red Sox</a> used to have<strong>three minimum requirements</strong> to be eligible for having your number retired. You had to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, spend at least 10 years with the franchise, and retire as a member of the BoSox.</p>
<p>And, while those requirements aren’t mandatory anymore, there have only been <strong>11 players</strong>(12 with Jackie Robinson) that havemade it to the ‘Red Sox retired numbers’ list. That’s a pretty exclusive club.</p>
<p>So, without any further introduction, let’s honor those 11 legends of Fenway Park, sharing all there is to know about <strong>every retired number in Boston Red Sox history.</strong> <strong>Note:</strong> we won’t talk about Jackie Robinson, whose number was retired league wide.</p>

<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200810_BUS_163393_ted_williams.jpg_1030179834_0a590241.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Williams was nicknamed   <em> ‘Teddy Ballgame’</em>. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Ted Williams </strong>was one of the first two playersto have their number retired by the Boston Red Sox. It happened on May29, 1984, 24 years after his retirement. Likemany other legends of their era, Williams’ baseball career was interrupted to servein World War II and the Korean War.</p>
<p>But when he was on the field, Williams was one of the most talentedleft fielders in the game. He was a 19-time All-Star, 2-time AL MVP, 2-time Triple Crown winner, 6-time AL batting champion, 4-time AL Home Run and RBI leader, and holds the MLB record for the highest OBP ever at .482.<strong> Add a .344 batting average to that resume and you’ll know why they retired his number.</strong></p>
<h2>Joe Cronin – #4</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200810_BUS_163393_joe_cronin.jpg_1030179834_131973e7.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He was the president of the American League for 14 years. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Joe Cronin</strong> started his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, later joining the Washington Senators, where his career took a bit of a turn. He became a player-manager for the team, and he was so successful that the Red Sox couldn’t help to make him his top priority, signing him for the final 10 years of his career.</p>
<p>Cronin wasan outstandingdefender at the shortstop position andhad an exceptionalability to read the game as well. <strong>He was a 5-time All-Starat Boston </strong>and the team retired his number on May29, 1984 ,alongwithTed Williams’.</p>
<h2>Bobby Doerr – #1</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

(Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Bobby Doerr </strong>was yet another legendary player who put his career on stand by to serve in World War II. In fact, he was the oldest player to ever make his <a href="https://www.mlb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> debut right beforethe nation’s involvement in the conflict.</p>
<p>Doerr spent his entire career with the Red Sox, making 9 All-Star Game appearances. He had a batting average of .288 and had 2,042 career hits. He later workedwith the team as a scout and a coach. On a side note, he was theonly surviving player to play in the 1930s before his passing in 2017 <strong>at 99 years old.</strong></p>
<h2><strong>Carl Yastrzemski – #8</strong></h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Carl Yastrzemski </strong>is one of the greatest players of all time. Notably, he’s got a lot to thank Bobby Doerr for his game, as he worked with him prior to his Triple Crown season. His countless accolades made the Red Sox retire his number on August6, 1989.</p>
<p>Yastrzemski was the best player in the field every night out there, whether it was on the left field or as a first baseman. He was an 18-time All-Star, Triple Crown winner, 7-time Gold Glove winner, AL MVP, AL Home Run leader, and AL batting champion. <strong>He spent his entire career with the Red Sox.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Carlton Fisk </strong>was the first player to have his number retired by the Red Sox in the 21st century. They did it on September 4, 2000, 7 years after his retirement. He was also the first player to have his number retired despite not ending his career with the franchise.</p>
<p>Fisk had a strong case at being the greatest catcher ever at the time of his retirement. He even held the record for most home runs for his position (351). During his time with the BoSox, he was a 7-time All-Star, AL Rookie of the Year, and won 1 Gold Glove. <strong>The Chicago White Sox also retired his number.</strong></p>
<h2>Johhny Pesky – #6</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Johnny Pesky</strong> was, well, pesky as they come. He rarely struck out and was a versatile player in every aspect of the game, serving as a shortstop and third baseman for most of his career. He was tied to the Red Sox organization for 61 years.</p>
<p>With that kind of commitment, it wasn’t a surprise to see the Red Sox retire his number on September 23, 2008. Pesky spent the first years of his career with the Red Sox and later served as the team’s manager, coach, color commentator, instructor, consultant, <strong>and number one fan.</strong></p>

(Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Younger fans may not remember him but back in the day, <strong>Jim Rice </strong>was one of the most terrifying sluggers in the world. He spent his entire 15-year career with the Red Sox, and that’s why they finally – and deservingly -retired his number on July 28, 2009.</p>
<p>On top of his .298 batting average and his 2,452 career hits; rice was an 8-time All-Star, AL MVP, 2-time Silver Slugger, 3-time AL Home Run leader, and 2-time AL RBI leader. <strong>He was a scoring machine, serving as an outfielder and designated hitter.</strong></p>
<h2>Pedro Martínez – #45</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Pedro Martínez</strong> is one of the toughest, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/Top-25-most-dominating-pitchers-in-MLB-history-20200504-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most dominant pitchers</a> of all time. His 7-season tenure with the Boston Red Sox was so memorable, that it was more than enough for the team to retire his number on July 28, 2015. He was the second Dominican player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.</p>
<p>During his time at Fenway Park, Martínez won 2 of his 3 CY Young awards, he won the Triple Crown, led MLB in wins, led MLB in ERA 4 times, and was a 3-time AL strikeout leader<strong>. He was also a 4-time All-Star and played a huge role in the team’s World Series title in 2004.</strong></p>
<h2><strong>Wade Boggs – #26</strong></h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Wade Boggs</strong> was a controversial figure to some diehard Red Sox fans, as he had committed the ultimate sin of joining the New York Yankees after his 10-year stint at Fenway. Even so, production-wise, there was no doubt that he deserved to have his number retired. It finally happened on May 26, 2016.</p>
<p>Boggs was a perennial All-Star and MVP candidate, as well as one of the greatest third-baseman ever.<strong> Even so, he didn’t get to win the World Series until he joined the <em>Evil Empire,</em> the Red Sox’<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/15-biggest-mlb-rivalries-of-all-time-20200727-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> biggest rivals.</a></strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>David Ortiz</strong> is the latest Red Sox legend to have his number retired. It happened on June 23, 2017, following his glorious 14-season tenure with Boston. He’ll be remembered as one of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/Top-25-most-dominating-MLB-hitters-of-the-decade-20200508-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">greatest sluggers of all time</a> thanks to his power and ability to make contact, as well as his timely hitting</p>
<p><em>‘Big Papi’ </em>served as the Red Sox’s designated hitter and first baseman. He led the team to 3 <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series titles,</a> was a 10-time All-Star, ALCS MVP, World Series MVP, 7-time Silver Slugger, led the AL in RBI in 3 times, and once in home runs<strong>.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value:</strong> $2.2Billion<br> The <strong>St. Louis Cardinals</strong> only trail the New York Yankees as the team with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most World Series titles</a>. And, even though they aren’t located in the biggest market in the nation, they’re still a huge brand of their own.</p>
<p>The Cardinals make the cut as the 7th richest baseball team in the world despite not making it to the World Series since 2013. Led by <strong>Yadier Molina</strong>, they’ll try and put an end to that drought this season.</p>
<h2>6. New York Mets</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

(Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value: </strong>$2.4Billion<br> Needless to say, the <strong>New York Mets</strong> have always lived in the shadow of the New York Yankees. Even so, they have one of the biggest fanbases in the world and The Big Apple is big enough for them to coexist.</p>
<p>The Mets have had some offensive struggles lately but they still have one of the most exciting and dominating pitching rotations in the world. <strong>That’s why Jennifer López and Álex Rodríguez want to buy them at all costs.</strong></p>
<h2>5. San Francisco Giants</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value:</strong> $3.1Billion<br> The <strong>San Francisco Giants</strong> have been one of the most successful baseball teams of the past 10 years or so, winning 3 World Series in six years. Also, they’re located in one of the biggest markets in the world.</p>
<p>Silicon Valley’s team is the 5th most valuable MLB team this year and its value went up 3% despite the retirement of legendary manager <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/highest-mlb-manager-salaries-ever-20200723-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bruce Bochy </a>and former World Series MVP <strong>Madison Bumgarner.</strong></p>

The team’s value has gone way up ever since as they’re a perennial contender.</p>
<p>The Cubs have made the most of their market value lately and are currently tied with the Chicago Bulls and New York Jets as the 17th most valuable sports franchise in the world. <strong>Even if Joe Maddon is no longer in town.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value: </strong>$3.3Billion<br> The<strong> Boston Red Sox </strong>continue to climb the ladder on this list. They also experimented a 3% growth this year despite their disappointing season as defending champions. That trend is likely to go on for another year or so.</p>
<p>Moreover, Fenway Group decided to take the team’s payroll down after spending a lot of money to bring that 2018 World Series home. That meant losing former<strong> AL MVP Mookie Betts.</strong> Yikes.</p>
<h2>2. Los Angeles Dodgers</h2>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p><strong>Value: </strong>$3.4Billion<br> The<strong> Los Angeles Dodgers </strong>continue to grow both financially and sports-wise. They recently acquired Mookie Betts to finally put an end to their World Series drought after two losses in three years.</p>
<p>The Dodgers are the team to beat out of the National League and, on an unsurprising note, the second most valuable MLB team in the world. <strong>We wouldn’t expect any less from Los Angeles’ finest.</strong></p>
<h2>1. New York Yankees</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value: </strong>$5.0 Billion<br> You know what they say: the rich get richer. At least, that seems to be the case with the <strong>New York Yankees<strong>,</strong></strong> the most valuable MLB team and the second richest sports franchise in the world, trailing only the Dallas Cowboys.</p>
<p>The Yankees have always been a synonym to wealth and success and this year wasn’t the exception to that rule. Their value went up 9% and they spared no expenses to sign <strong>Gerrit Cole </strong>to help them put an end to their decade-long title drought.</p>

<p>That’s why today, we’re going to walk you through everything that happened before, during, and after the 1903 World Series, <strong>one of the most important moments in the history of major sports.</strong></p>
<h2>Pre World Series era</h2>
<p>Long before the American League existed, the <strong>American Association (AA) and the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players (NAPBBP)</strong> were the two major organizations for professional baseball in the United States.</p>
<p>The NAPBBP ceased to exist in 1875 and<strong> </strong>the<strong> National League (NL)</strong>was born the next season. But before the was a World Series to determine the champion of professional baseball, the teams with the best regular-season record on each league were awarded the title without any kind of postseason.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<h2>Original World Series</h2>
<p>Then, from 1884 to 1890, the ‘winning’ team of the National League faced the winners of the American Association <strong>to determine the champion of baseball.</strong> Teams and owners agreed on several terms like the length of the series (from 3 to 15 games), locations, and other minor rule changes for every edition.</p>
<p>Two of those editions (1885 and 1890) even ended up with a tie, and both associations couldn’t even agree on a name for this series. It was called the <strong>World Series Championship, World Series, and The Championship of the United States.</strong></p>
<h2>National League Monopoly and the Temple Cup</h2>
<p>The American Association ceased to exist after the 1891 season as it just couldn’t compete with the National League. Plenty of its teams defected to join the NL right away, <strong>thus making it the only professional baseball league in the country.</strong></p>
<p>The 1892 champion was settled after a series between two half-season champions, but that scheme only lasted for one season. Then, in 1893, <strong>the team with the best record was crowned at the end of the season.</strong></p>
<p>The NL then tried a different format where the team with the best record faced the runner-up in a postseason series called the <strong>Temple Cup. </strong>This went from 1894 to 1897 but shortly after the American League was born in 1891.</p>
<p>And with the American League and National League fighting for the supremacy of the market, there wasn’t even a champion in 1901 and 1902, leaving the door wide open<strong> for the creation of the modern World Series.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div class="ckeditor-poll" data-path="/usa/encuestas/Encuesta1595865111672" id="ckePolls_1595865132046" style="text-align:left"> <span data-src="/usa/encuestas/Encuesta1595865111672"></span></div>
<p></p>
<h2>1903 World Series: First AL Champion</h2>
<p>Both leagues agreed to stop fighting and most of their teams played some interleague exhibition games in 1903. However, there wasn’t a better way to prove that they could coexist <strong>than having their best two teams going toe-to-toe.</strong></p>
<p>Thus, the leagues agreed on terms for the very first World Series. <strong>The Pittsburgh Pirates</strong> had been – by far – the best team in the NL, while the <strong>Boston Americans (<a href="https://www.mlb.com/redsox" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Red Sox</a>) </strong>have done the same in the Junior Circuit.</p>
<p>Pirates and Americans faced off on a better-to-nine series, with Boston upsetting the Pirates thanks to<strong> CY Young’s</strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/Top-25-most-dominating-pitchers-in-MLB-history-20200504-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> historically dominant pitching</a>. Also, Pittsburgh was riddled by injuries and lost the final three games in a row.</p>
<p>This World Series title was the ultimate statement. It proved that the American League could keep up with the National League and that there was plenty of room and market for both of them. <strong>The rest, as you know, it’s history.</strong></p>

<p><strong>World Series titles:</strong> 8 (1905, 1921, 1922, 1933, 1954, 2010, 2012, 2014)<br> <strong>World Series played:</strong> 20<br> <strong>Last played:</strong> 2014<br> <strong>Last won:</strong> 2014</p>
<p>The <strong>San Francisco Giants</strong> were one of the league’s top-tier candidates during the ’20s but they struggled to win at the ultimate stage for almost 6 decades. That’s until <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/highest-mlb-manager-salaries-ever-20200723-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bruce Bochy</a> came along to turn them around and lead them back to the top.</p>
<p>Under Bochy’s command, the Giants won<strong> 3 World Series over a 5-year span</strong> and became the team to beat in the National League. Now, they’ll likely go through a rebuild to contend again in the future.</p>
<h2>4. Oakland Athletics</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p>There was always something about the<strong> Oakland Athletics</strong>. Once they made it to the World Series, everybody knew they were going to get back right away. In fact, they won three titles in 4 years in the ’10s and later won 3 straight titles in the early-’70s.</p>
<p>Sadly, the team hasn’t been as good over the past couple of decades. Their ownership refuses to spend on the team’s payroll or even infrastructure, and it seems like <strong>they’re years away from being that baseball powerhouse again.</strong></p>
<h2>3. Boston Red Sox</h2>

<p>The <strong>Boston Red Sox h</strong>ave always been contenders, especially over the past two decades, when they were the team to beat in the American League, even despite the presence of their diehard rivals New York Yankees.</p>
<p>The Red Sox had to endure tough times after their golden years in the ’10s. It took them almost 30 years to win another American League pennant but they havenow<strong> setthe standard for a winning baseball team.</strong></p>

<p>The <strong>St. Louis Cardinals </strong>have always been a synonym for winning. The team has constantly been among the league’s leaders and is a perennial candidate to make it back to the World Series.</p>
<p>They’re the team with the highest odds to challenge the New York Yankees as the winningest team ever, although they still have a long way to go. T<strong>hey haven’t made it to the big stage since 2013, though.</strong></p>

<p>The Evil Empire, The Bronx Bombers, The Pinstripers, The Bronx Zoo. Call them what you like, hate them if you want, and stop them if you can. That’s the<strong> New York Yankees, </strong>the most polarizing team in baseball, the guys everybody loves to hate.</p>
<p>The New York Yankees set the standard for greatness in sports. They’re the winningest team in baseball history and it’s not even close. To put in context <strong>how incredibly dominant they’ve been,</strong> the 2010s were the only decade when they didn’t win a World Series title. Let that sink in.</p>
