After months of ‘booing himself,’ ex-Red Sox OFer is Yankees Game 1 hero
Verdugo, who was traded from the Red Sox to the Yankees in December for pitchers Greg Weissert, Richard Fitts and Nicholas Judice, hit .310 with one homer, six RBIs and an .835 OPS in 11 postseason games for Boston in 2011. It marked his only postseason experience before Saturday. Verdugo will be a free agent this winter.
