It's April 6th. From the locker room to your ears, this is Boston Red Sox News today, powered by A.I. I'm Cory with the story. Boston Red Sox shortstop. Trevor's story is off to a nightmare start this season, and is showed in their 8-6 loss to the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The socks are now two wins and seven losses, scraping the bottom early on. Stories batting just 118 after going one for five, with two more strikeouts, and a strikeout rate sits at a brutal 40.5%. Defensively, it's no better for the guy wearing number 10. He's already tied for second in baseball, with three heirs, including a costly throwing mistake in the second inning Sunday. Coming off last year where he let short stops and miscues, stories glove just isn't cutting it right now. Manager Alex Cora is standing by his better in any way, keeping story at the top of the lineup despite the noise from fans and the rise of prospect. Marcelo Mayer Mayer's a top defender waiting in the

minors, and with holes in the lineup after losing big bats, the pressure is mounting fast. Stories no stranger to slow starts in Boston. He signed that six year 140 million dollar deal back in March 2022, but injuries limited him to 163. Games over three years with a 232 average. Last season, he hit just two 17 through 60 games before exploding with a 290 from June 8th on. The socks hope for that same turnaround as they host the Milwaukee Brewers starting Monday at 6.45pm at Fenway. Stories got the heat of quick if Boston wants to climb out of his hole.
