On Wednesday night, the Boston Red Sox lost to the New York Yankees (at Fenway Park) by a score of 4-1.
They have been outscored 8-1 in the first two games of the series.
Trevor Story finished Wednesday’s loss with one hit, one run and two strikeouts in four at-bats.
Struggling Red Sox Player Still Owed $50+ Million
Story has gotten off to a very slow start to the 2026 MLB season.
He is batting .192 with 19 hits, two home runs, 17 RBI’s, eight runs, three stolen bases and 35 strikeouts in 24 games.
It’s worth noting that the Red Sox still owe Story over $50 million (including this season).

Story is one of the most important players on the Red Sox.
They will need him to turn his season around if they want to climb back up in the standings.
Story’s MLB Career
Story was picked in the first round of the 2011 MLB Draft.
He spent the first six years of his career with the Colorado Rockies, making two All-Star Games in that span.
In 2018, Story batted .291 with 37 home runs and 108 RBI’s.
Sarah Langs of MLB.com wrote on Wednesday: “Most home runs in first 24 career games, since at least 1900:
2018-19 Aristides Aquino: 12 2017 Rhys Hoskins: 12 2015-16 Gary Sanchez: 11 2026 Munetaka Murakami: 10 2016 Trevor Story: 10 1966 George Scott: 10″
Story has had an up-and-down tenure over his six years in Boston.
He has only appeared in 344 games since signing with the franchise.
Chris Cotillo of MassLive wrote on Wednesday: “Since April 4 (17 games), only three members of the Red Sox have homered: Willson Contreras three times, Jarren Duran and Trevor Story.”
Red Sox Right Now
The Red Sox are the last-place team in the American League East with a 9-15 record in 24 games.
