Verdugo grew up in Tucson AZ, was drafted by Dodgers out of Sagauro HS in 2014. Identifies as Mexican per the WBC participation. Traded to Boston for some other guy . So my guess is that if hometown meant anything, Alex will go to Diamondbacks after 2024.
Good thing "hometown" doesn't mean much. I would be surprised if the Sox make any contractual move on him this season, but should evaluate him closely next winter for a new contract. He will cost them a lot more than the $6.3MM he signed for this year.
