Julian Edelman praised Dustin Pedroia

Pedroia was brilliant in his career. He also had some battles and doubters used every occasion to blast him. The former second baseman proved everyone wrong with his impeccable game. He played in four All-Star games and helped the team win three World Series championships. Pedroia claimed the American League MVP Award in 2008.

The Boston Red Sox second baseman has been dealing with knee injuries for quite some time. He played just nine games in the last three seasons and missed the entire 2020 season. Red Sox owner John Henry had words of praise for the veteran, adding that he is more than his American League Most Valuable Player award, his All-Star Game selections, and the Gold Gloves he got in his 17-year career.

Henry is grateful for everything Pedroia did on the field. He impressed everyone with his competitive drive and the passion he showed in games. Baseball fans liked him a lot, and Pedroia kept everyone amused. The Red Sox are grateful to Pedroia for what he brought to the team and the region. He was an important role model who played his best game all while teaching others of determination and hard work.

Pedroia enters history as one of the best second basemen in Red Sox history. Some say he is the best in this aspect.

The veteran was a second-round pick in the 2004 Major League Baseball draft. He had an amazing career and experts praise his talent. Pedroia was a key contributor on two World Series championships teams. He had a big role in the run to the 2018 Fall Classic.
