Red Sox seek long-term shortstop, putting Story and Mayer's futures at risk

The Boston Red Sox are searching for a shortstop, indicating a potential shift away from Trevor Story and Marcelo Mayer. Reportedly, the team is focused on long-term options, targeting players like CJ Abrams and Jeremy Peña. This move complicates the futures of both Story, who has a $25 million contract next year, and Mayer, currently on the injured list. A new addition could affect Mayer's playing time if Story remains with the team. Additionally, Franklin Arias, the team's top prospect, could be impacted by this search as well.
