Red Sox: Trevor Story Trade Rumors Face 10-5 Rights Hurdle

Image
The Boston Red Sox are unlikely to trade shortstop Trevor Story this winter, according to The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey, because Story's $25 million salary, age, injury history and 10-5 veto rights make a deal extremely difficult to complete. Story played just 64 games for Boston in 2026 after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia. With top prospect Franklin Arias close to the majors, the Red Sox still appear set to keep the 33-year-old Story in Boston for the 2027 season. Why is a Trevor Story trade unlikely this winter? The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey called a Trevor Story trade "unlikely" this winter in her latest Red Sox notebook. McCaffrey pointed to Story's salary, age and injury history, and to a protection Story holds that many veterans never reach. Story has 10-5 rights because Story has played 10 years in the major leagues and five straight years with the Boston Red Sox. A player with 10-5 rights can veto any trade, so the Red Sox cannot move Stor...

The 34-year-old Dallas Stars forward, who helped Boston win the Stanley Cup in 2011, is back from a torn ACL in the final season of his eight-year, $78.8 million contract. Boston, 7-2-0 and riding a five-game winning streak, closes its four-game road trip at American Airlines Center at 8 p.m. ET. How did Tyler Seguin get back for this Bruins reunion?
