The Red Sox are an AL worst, 29-39 and have had a flurry of activity around the team recently. This week the Red Sox starting 3rd baseman Pablo Sandoval was benched for liking some Instagram posts mid-game. When asked by it by the media Sandoval simply stated that he “did it while he was in the bathroom”. Even more interesting, during a recent media encounter the face of the franchise David Ortiz was asked if he would be willing to waive his trade clause. He responded by saying, “No chance, this is the team I’ll be with for the rest of my career”. Which is a good thing if you’re a Red Sox fan, but how did it get to his point? 2 years removed from your 3rd World Series since breaking the curse and you have a 100 million dollar player on the john playing with his phone and now reporters are insinuating that the player that’s been the face of your franchise for the past 11 years wants out of town. In the words of the great Vince Lombardi, “What the hell’s going on out there?!”
