Before revealing the list, Letterman noted the third baseman is a "tremendous athlete" and "remarkably agile." Letterman then said Boston fans should calm down about their weight concerns.
Letterman then went on to his list, titled "Top Ten Things You Don't Want To Hear From Your $95 Million Baseball Player," alluding to Sandoval's new contract with Boston.
After winning three World Series titles with the Giants, Sandoval signed a five-year deal with the Red Sox last November.
