Bogaerts, who is in his third year with the San Diego Padres, played 10 seasons with the Boston Red Sox. He won two World Series rings, made four All-Star appearances, and received Most Valuable Player votes every season from 2018 to 2022.

The Red Sox had failed to score in 10th inning. With the automatic runner at second base, David Hamilton struck out when he fouled off a bunt attempt. Pinch hitter Romy Gonzalez flied out to center field. Ceddanne Rafaela grounded out after an intentional walk to Wilyer Abreu.

A talented 21-year-old becomes a wealthy man, while baseball takes another step away from the purity of a process never meant to influence financial outcomes.
