The Boston Red Sox have informed Xander Bogaerts that they won't be trading him before the trade deadline.

When asked whether he had been given assurance from the front office he would not be dealt, Bogaerts replied, "Yeah. I don't know if I should say that, but I hope I don't get in trouble. But yeah, much better like that. Communication is always huge in everything in life. To get that type of feedback is beneficial, I would say."

Bogaerts can opt out of the final three years of his contract this offseason.
