Dustin Pedroia Hall of Fame Chances
Major League Baseball announced the 2024 finalist for the baseball hall of fame. Adrian Beltre, Joe Mauer and Todd Helton will all get their plaques cemented in Cooperstown. It’s always a hot button topic regarding who and who shouldn’t get in. Some players will fall off the ballot such as Gary Sheffield who did not receive 75% of the vote. The rest of the players between 5-75% will be back next year, including Billy Wagner who fell less than two percentage points shy of induction.

This is going to be an interesting year. Billy Wagner should get in and Ichiro could be a unanimous vote. Carlos Betran saw an improvement this year and could be on his way. Andruw Jones also should be a consideration. Chase Utley saw an improvement and will see two more second basman on the ballot next year in Kinsler and Pedroia.
Could Dustin Pedroia make it to Cooperstown based off the current system?
Pedroia won an MVP Award, Rookie of the Year Award and two World Series rings with the Red Sox in his 14 seasons in Boston, where he was a .299 career hitter.with 1,805 hits, 394 doubles, 140 homers, 725 RBI, 922 runs and 138 stolen bases. There are 22 Hall of Fame second basemen currently
Joe gives his take on Dustin Pedroia potentially making the Hall of Fame. Should fans root for the lazer show even if you feel he is not one of the greatest of all time? David Ortiz is in the hall, who else from the Red Sox era could make it?
