First baseman with the Red Sox departs to launch a media company.

Numerous former members of the Boston Red Sox have left baseball and made the transition to other media positions around the country.

The most recent ex-Red Sox player to move into the same area is most known for winning a World Series with an American League team in addition to numerous other honors, including four Gold Gloves, a Silver Slugger, and an All-Star appearance.

Former first baseman Eric Hosmer posted on Wednesday, “Excited to take on this new challenge, MoonBall Media, and our first project, The Diggin’ Deep Podcast.” “While my playing days are sadly behind me, I’m dedicated to giving back to the baseball community that has greatly influenced my life.” Episode 1 is currently streaming live.”

After being traded to Boston at the 2022 Major League Baseball Trade Deadline, Hosmer played just 14 games for the Red Sox, but during that time he hit.244 (11-for-45) with three extra-base hits, four RBIs, and a.631 OPS.

The trade was one of the notable transactions made when former Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom attempted a buy-and-sell approach at the deadline — which didn’t do much to help the present or the future.

Hosmer will now join the media ranks as the latest former professional athlete to start a podcast — and will have a daunting task ahead in a highly saturated market.
