It’s the second straight year Boston has shipped a high-ceiling infielder to SF, following Rafael Devers’ departure. With Story aging and Arias still raw, the Red Sox’ shortstop future is suddenly up for grabs — and fans are left wondering if they’ve lost another promising piece to injuries and misfortune.
