The Red Sox are scheduled to visit the White House on Thursday, but a number of high-profile team members, including manager Alex Cora and right fielder Mookie Betts, won’t be there.
Many Red Sox players of color have said they will skip the ceremony at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
The Athletic columnist Steve Buckley noted this in a tweet Sunday and wrote: “So basically it’s the white Sox who’ll be going.”
On Monday, David Price quote tweeted Buckley’s words to his 1.8 million Twitter followers and said that he felt more people than Buckley’s 38,200 followers should see what Buckley wrote.
