The Red Sox, man.
They are...
They're quite an interesting story right now.
So their ownership, John Henry, also owns a bunch of other stuff, including Liverpool.
And their fans want to hear from John Henry.
And John Henry has not spoken in Boston for a few years now.
I think the last time he spoke was at a press conference after the Mookie Betts trade, which was in 2020.
And really that Betts trade was a turning point with this Red Sox team and the fan base.
Remember, they won the World Series in 2018.
And then ownership seemed to shift.
And they went into, let's make money mode.
And let's focus on that.
They trade away a guy like Mookie Betts instead of paying him.
And by the way, like a year earlier, they had fired Dave Dombrowski, who was a kind of a guy that you'd want as your GM if you're willing to spend lots of money.
He was kind of a shoot from the hip guy.
And instead, they turned the team over to a bit more of a process-oriented group.
I heard he didn't talk much, though.
I heard John Henry was mostly pretty silent, and that the players afterwards, after they got the news that they were moving on from Alex Cora and a bunch of his coaches, and the players were very fond of these coaches, they were like, that's not a good enough explanation.
