Who are your must keep players for Boston’s pro sports teams? With the trade of Mookie Betts by the Red Sox and Tom Brady leaving the Patriots in free agency some of our Boston Sports teams will look different this coming season. That got us thinking. If you could guarantee only 1 current player stays on the team for the next 5 years, who would you choose? Is it a veteran, a young player, the next star, who is it? For the Pats do you look on the offense or defensive side of the ball and for the Sox is it a pitcher, great fielder, or a bat you are keeping. The Bruins have some all star veterans or is it a young player you don’t want to replace and the Celtics have a bunch of young players we’d like to see around for a while.
And, don’t forget your favorite player, they might not be the superstar but you would not want to see him playing for anyone else. Our sports writer Cole Pessolano picked his must haves.
Red Sox- Rafael Devers
Bruins- David Pastrnak
Celtics- Jayson Tatum
Patriots- Stephon Gilmore
You can only guarantee one player from each team will be here for the next 5 years, who do you choose?
