Alex Verdugo officially waved goodbye to the city of Boston and the Red Sox organization in an Instagram post on Thursday.
The young outfielder spent four seasons in Boston after being traded to the Red Sox from the Los Angeles Dodgers as part of the Mookie Betts trade. On Dec. 5, Boston dealt Verdugo to the New York Yankees.
Though his tenure with the Red Sox came to a close this offseason, Verdugo said Boston will “always have a special place in my heart.”
“It was an honor to put on that [Red Sox] uniform every day and represent such a storied franchise,” Verdugo said.
