Pablo Sandoval is set to be the Red Sox’s every day third baseman, with the team trading away Travis Shaw. That means it’s of utmost importance for Sandoval to be fit.
And he seems to understand that, judging by a recent photo of him that has emerged.
It’s likely that the team told him he needed to lose some weight, and soon. They’ve said it before in the past, and it’s no secret that Sandoval likes food and has had some issues being a bit heavier than he should be. He reportedly once gained 21 pounds in 21 days.
Check out this recent photo of Sandoval, though. It appears he’s lot a considerable amount of weight, possibly even 20 pounds already.

Sandoval was last listed at 240 pounds, but we’ve seen him heavier than that. Look at this photo from last spring.
The challenge going forward will be for Sandoval to keep the weight off.
