Veteran shortstop Trevor Story is staying with the Red Sox .

The 32-year-old has decided to opt in and play out the remaining two years and $55 million on his contract, according to an industry source. He is said to appreciate the organization and likes the direction it is headed.

Story initially signed a six-year, $140 million contract with the Red Sox in March 2022. The deal allowed him to opt out and become a free agent after the 2025 season. If he had chosen to opt out, the Red Sox could have voided the opt-out by adding an extra one-year and $20 million to the deal for 2028.

Instead, he will remain with Boston for at least the next two seasons, earning $25 million each year. He has a $25 million team option and $5 million buyout for ‘28.
