The Red Sox using anonymous sources to trash a dude the second he's out the door. A tradition like no other. bsky.app/profile/pete...

Glad I never went back after the Betts trade.

The Red Sox give new meaning to the phrase “stay classy”.

This is a horrible trade @redsox.com. Ironically, lots of fans I know have a renewed interest this season…for many it’s the first time since the Mookie trade that they’ve paid attention on a daily basis (not sure if the ratings show this - but anecdotally). As usual, Sox out of touch with fanbase.

I'd think hitting for a .905 OPS and being 36th in the league in WAR is doing pretty right for the team, but I guess that's why I'm just a fan

Not a fan of the Red Sox to be clear, they deserve all this misery

I'm just surprised Shaughnessy hasn't found a way to make himself the center of this story.

I always thought that doing the right thing by the team had something to do with consistently playing the game well. Also I guess they decided that the season’s over.

I’m not a Sox fan and I don’t watch much baseball but I can tell you that the only story I read about him was him being upset about playing 1st.

Yep.. smear campaign incoming. This front office and ownership are an effing disgrace.

And they (and the fans) were going to trash him if switching to a brand new position in-season worked out poorly.

weird how signing a guy to a $300MM contract to be your third baseman confers ZERO responsibilities to the team to play him as a third baseman
jun 15, 2025, 11:35 pm • 13 0 • view
Yeah, but it really doesn’t. They signed him to play. There’s never any guarantee that the need of the team won’t change. Plus, when Bregman got hurt, he refused to play 3B! So he was completely resistant to move to DH until he’d done it and then he refused to do anything else.

That's not at all how MLB veterans view things and every front office knows that really, really well. Boston signing a third baseman and then asking Devers to learn a new position was always gonna cause problems and the Red Sox knew it. It's not a player-friendly thing to do at all.

I also think that he wasn't a "Breslow" guy....he never signed him to the deal.

If positional versatility is so important to the Red Sox, they should've thought of that before giving him all that money

"I'm a great third baseman, I'd like to play third base here for ten years." "Cool! but also you have to roll the tarp out when it rains and if you don't we'll trade you"

You didn’t need anonymous sources, he should have been gone in the spring. Enough with the drama.

I mean, they were doing that long before he was out the door too

I grew up outside Boston. I cried in 2004. I kind of feel like this ownership group has jumped the last shark with me.

Remember when they threw their manager who won two World Series, famously breaking their 86 year long drought, under the bus
