Trevor Story isn’t going anywhere.

According to multiple reports, including MassLive’s Chris Cotillo and ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Red Sox’s starting shortstop has decided not to opt out of his contract and will play out the remaining two years of his deal.

The decision ensures some measure of continuity for the Red Sox infield, which faces significant questions with Alex Bregman having already opted out and possible holes at both first and second base.

Story originally signed with the Red Sox on a six-year, $140 million deal prior to the 2022 season. His first three years in Boston were plagued by injuries, but last year marked a return to form for the two-time All-Star, who hit .263 with 25 home runs, 96 RBI and 31 stolen bases while appearing in 157 games.
