Red Sox fans dismayed by their team's new sponsored jerseys

The Boston Red Sox just released a first look at their upcoming jersey. The jersey has a sponsored patch on one sleeve, much to the dismay of the team's supporters.MLB jerseys are slowly adding sponsorship patches similar to FIFA kits and NBA uniforms. For a long time, sports jerseys had nothing but the name, logo and number of the player. However, that day and age has gone. Many teams are adopting these patches across all leagues. Nike logos were recently added to baseball jerseys that previously had no logo but the team's.Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_Here’s a look at the Red Sox jersey with a sponsored patch on it(via @ChrisCotillo)75023Here’s a look at the Red Sox jersey with a sponsored patch on it(via @ChrisCotillo) https://t.co/4ZCTmhXWgLWhile the patch on the Red Sox jersey isn't all that big and is only on one sleeve, fans aren't too pleased with the new look. They prefer the pristine jerseys of old. They're also a bit concerned about where MLB will draw the line. How many sponsorship patches will get added to a jersey? If these fans had their way, it would be zero.Jenny Martin@JennyMartin24@TalkinBaseball_ @ChrisCotillo Sale will cut that off then hurt himself in the process12@TalkinBaseball_ @ChrisCotillo Sale will cut that off then hurt himself in the processAlex@alex_rage_r93@djmikeydubs @TalkinBaseball_ @ChrisCotillo fine for soccer, doesn’t work at all for baseball1@djmikeydubs @TalkinBaseball_ @ChrisCotillo fine for soccer, doesn’t work at all for baseballElon Musk Will Buy The Braves@BuyTheBraves@TalkinBaseball_ @ChrisCotillo That will be fine honestly.

Pretty sad.Are the Boston Red Sox going to re-sign Xander Bogaerts?Boston is at a very interesting crossroads. They're just five years removed from a World Series title and won the Wild Card game and Divisional Series last season. However, they were abysmal this year and face key decisions on players.They paid Trevor Story and are tied to him for a long time. Rafael Devers is up for an extension soon.Boston v Los Angeles AngelsBogaerts is a free agent. What they decide to do with him determines what they can do elsewhere. Given that they have Story, a natural shortstop, and Devers who will be extended with a massive contract, it doesn't seem likely that the Red Sox will bring Bogaerts back.They probably don't want to pay him right after paying Story and before they have to pay Devers more money than all of them.His price tag will probably go up, too, in the shortstop market and the Red Sox aren't in a contending window to justify all the spending.
