SAN DIEGO -- Xander Bogaerts' new position is his old position: He's returning to shortstop in 2025.
Manager Mike Shildt formally revealed that plan during his FanFest media availability on Saturday at Petco Park. The move had been largely expected, particularly in the wake of free agent Ha-Seong Kim's decision

Bogaerts has certainty: He's a shortstop again

Longtime shortstop Xander Bogaerts headed into the 2024 season as the Padres’ new everyday second baseman, but he moved back to short in September to fill the void when Ha-Seong Kim was lost to a season-ending shoulder injury. With Kim now poised to join the Rays, the path is clear for Bogaerts to return to his old position. Padres manager Mike Shildt told reporters (including Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune) that Bogaerts will be th…

San Diego Padres Confirms Xander Bogaerts as Shortstop for MLB 2025

It’s surprisingly easy to forget how productive Xander Bogaerts was from 2015-23. Over nine seasons, the shortstop slashed .297/.362/.468 with 162 home runs, 90 stolen bases, and 38.4 FanGraphs WAR, an average of 4.95 fWAR per 162 games. Only 10 position players and three pitchers produced more fWAR in that span, and I wouldn’t be surprised if every one of those players is someday elected to the Hall of Fame. In addition to putting up huge numbe…
