I don’t bother to read the articles on Pedroia’s physical status or odds of comeback anymore. I’ve felt he’s been done for two years. When he signed his eight year contract I figured he would be baseball junk pile material about five years in. It took four injury prone seasons. Unfortunately Pedroia trying to come back is starting to be a joke. It would be better if he’s remembered for how hard he played when he could play.
When Pedroia signed his eight year, 110M deal many thought he signed for far too little. It’s turned out to be a four years of playing time deal for 110M. He was overpaid relative to signing six years ago.
