Boston, MA — The Boston Red Sox organization has been rocked by the suspension of one of its top prospects, Brainer Bonaci. The 21-year-old infielder has been suspended for the entire 2024 season for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policy.
Bonaci, ranked as the 12th-best prospect in the Red Sox system, had been making significant strides in his career, splitting time between High-A Greenville and Double-A Portland in 2023. He batted .297 with 11 home runs and seven steals in 79 games last season. His performance had placed him on the radar as a potential future star for the Red Sox.
The suspension follows a series of troubling events that began when Bonaci was pulled from the Arizona Fall League last year. While the specific details of his violations have not been publicly disclosed, the nature of the allegations is serious enough to warrant a full-season suspension from MLB.
This development leaves Bonaci’s future with the Red Sox uncertain. The organization has not yet announced what steps it will take next, but given the gravity of the situation, it would not be surprising if the Red Sox decided to sever ties with the young prospect.
This suspension underscores the ongoing efforts by MLB to enforce its policies on domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse, aiming to maintain the integrity and safety of the sport.
