Boston Red Sox ownership's lack of accountability for the state of the team has weighed on fans in recent years, and it continued over President's Day weekend. The team lost Alex Bregman and should've-been-franchise-staple Rafael Devers in just over six months, and it could've used both of them during its September playoff chase and in the future.
Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner was present in Fort Myers over the weekend, and when asked about the Devers trade, he responded with a severe oversimplification of the chain of events that led to the eventual deal. Of course, the part where Red Sox management misled Devers about his standing as the third baseman for the season was conveniently left out.
