There has been a lot of talk of late about the contract situation for Xander Bogaerts, which of course makes sense as he’s almost certain to hit free agency at the end of the year.

Michael Wacha is trying to work his way back from injury, as he’s eligible to return this weekend against the Mariners. He threw a simulated game on Monday. (Scott Neville; NESN)
