Jonathan Papelbon

Oh, man.

That's a great question.

I think that for me, the tougher market to play in was in Philadelphia.

Just because the fans weren't as forgiving as they were in Boston.

A little bit harsher, but still great fans.

Expect a lot out of their players.

whether it's football, baseball, or hockey, whatever sport it is.

But, you know, I think with Alex Cora, he's in a good place, you know.

I think he's happy.

I think he was happy to get out of the situation that he was in, and I think there was –

some dysfunction between him and the general manager in Boston, and I just don't think it was working, and I don't think it was the best fit for either one of them.

Yeah, yeah, I believe so.

You know, I mean, you look at what they did in Boston and, you know, they brought in all minor league guys to replace the big league staff.

And all these minor league guys have been with this young core, Roman Anthony, Marcelo Meyer.

And, you know, I think that sometimes, you know, as a young kid, you come up

And you're like, oh, man, I got a big league manager, a big league staff.

I got to perform.

And the comfortability may not be there.

But, you know, I definitely think, you know, these guys have played for Chad Tracy before in the minor leagues and know what to expect.

And there's a certain sense of comfortability with them because they've played together before.
