"That's such a joke to us," Pearce said on WEEI. "When it came out we were all kind of joking about it. We just want this to pass us. We won it fair and square. Whatever they accused us of, we were all kind of like, 'I can't believe this is even an issue.' Once the report comes out we're all going to be free.
That 2014 season was something else. Hit .293/.373/.556, 157 OPS+, 26 doubles, 21 home runs on 99 hits in 102 games He also had a 136 OPS+ in 2016 and 140 OPS+ in 2018, granted he never had more than 400 plate appearances.
All in all, he had a 108 OPS+ and played five positions in 766 games over 13 seasons. Made over $29M in salary and earned WS MVP. Not too shabby for a utility player.
