Trevor Story signed a six-year, $140 million contract with the Boston Red Sox this past off-season, and fans of the legendary franchise are already suffering buyer's remorse. Fans of the team thought he would be contributing at a higher level, but the shortstop has not lived up to his price tag so far.
With a Batting Average of .223 on the season and defensive struggles, Trevor Story has plenty of room to improve. Part of the frustration comes from the team's overall record, as they expected to be battling for the division crown with the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays, not fighting to get above .500 in June.
