Sandoval applies the “ex’s Law” to Boston

They say that revenge is not good for the soul and although the term may be a bit dramatic, it can be said that Pablo Sandoval is taking revenge rather the times he has faced the Boston Red Sox since he left through the back door of said team.

The second chances have arrived for Sandoval; first in the San Francisco Giants – where they say he should not have left – and then by the Atlanta Braves last season and this, yes, in a role different from the one he had at the beginning of the last decade.

Sandoval signed a contract in 2015 that linked him to the red-legged men until 2019 for $ 95 million, but he was only in Massachusets until mid-2017. The Red Sox decided to release him because he did not perform what management expected and for what they paid similarly. amount of money.

The native of Puerto Cabello only lasted three days without work. He was called from the San Francisco offices where he played 47 matches.

They met again

Pablo Sandoval had to wait a couple of harvests to meet again with Boston. It was September 27, 2020; he was just over 10 days after he arrived at the Atlanta Braves after the Giants released him. That night he lined up as third base and received two walks.

Even more time had to pass for “El Panda” to step on Fenway Park again and it was worth it. On Wednesday night the Atlanta Braves beat the Red Sox 3-1 and the Creole had three hits in four at-bats. He only failed on his first visit to the plate.

Also, he scored one of the lines. The 34-year-old Venezuelan continues to respond to the trust of manager Brian Snitker and professionally assumes his role, which is not that of yesteryear, when he was one of the most prominent players. His four home runs have been a pinch hitter and important to the cause at the time.

His experience within the clubhouse is another of the points of value for the Creole, in addition to his defensive versatility and in the batter’s box. Sandoval is taking revenge in baseball.
