A bad era for the Boston Red Sox continues to get worse.

The Sox signed two-time Silver Slugger shortstop Trevor Story to a $140 million contract before the 2022 campaign – by the end of this year, he likely will have played less than a full season's worth of games from 2022-2024 combined.

After playing in just 94 games in his first season in Boston, and 43 last year, Story's 2024 season is likely finished after just eight games, as he will be undergoing shoulder surgery that will sideline him for around six months.

"Difficult to speculate beyond that," chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said before Tuesday's home opener against Baltimore. "But you can kind of do the math there."

The injury occurred when he hit the ground hard while making a backhand stop on Mike Trout’s single in the fourth inning on Saturday. Story writhed in pain on the outfield grass after landing with most of his body weight on his shoulder.

The play resulted in a dislocation of the shoulder.

Not only has Story struggled to be on the field, but in the rare occurrence he is, he's been a shell of himself.
