masslive.com • • general
Key Points:
- No former Red Sox players were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2026 class, with Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones, and Jeff Kent making the cut instead.
- Dustin Pedroia saw a significant increase in votes, rising from 11.9% in 2025 to 20.7% in 2026, ensuring he remains on the ballot for another year but still far from the 75% needed for induction.
- Manny Ramírez, in his final year of eligibility, received 38.8% of the vote, falling short due to his history of performance-enhancing drug use, though he may be reconsidered by an Era Committee in the future.
