Red Sox officials praised Pedroia in a release from the team.

“Dustin is so much more than his American League Most Valuable Player award,
his All-Star Game selections, and the Gold Gloves he amassed throughout his
impressive 17-year career in our organization,” said Principal Owner John
Henry.


“Dustin came to represent the kind of grit, passion, and competitive drive
that resonates with baseball fans everywhere and especially with Red Sox
fans. He played the game he loves in service to our club, its principles and
in pursuit of championships. Most of all we are forever grateful to him for
what he brought to our club and to our region as an important role model
showing all of us how much one can accomplish with determination and hard
work.”

“Dustin has been an integral part of our club from draft day through
retirement,” said Chairman Tom Werner. “During his time with the Red Sox,
we have had the opportunity to see Dustin evolve into one of the best second
basemen in the game as a player and watch him grow as a husband to Kelli and
father to his three incredible children. The full impact of the Pedroia
family extends well beyond the walls of Fenway Park and into the Boston
community through their work with military families and the Jimmy Fund. We
congratulate Dustin on a tremendous career, and thank him and Kelli for their
contributions to our club and our community.”

“Through championships and injuries, Dustin’s disciplined approach never
wavered,” said President and CEO Sam Kennedy. “His work ethic is
incomparable, and we saw him attack his rehab during the last chapter of his
career with the same intensity he approached the batter’s box in his prime.
I know hanging up his spikes is not an easy decision for a competitor of his
caliber. We are fortunate to have had him in a Red Sox uniform for so long
and look forward to welcoming him back to Fenway Park to celebrate his career.
”
