When looking at what major league executives and managers say, don’t look for transparency. It’s most likely that they aren’t going to tell you what is really going on with a player or coach’s status. Last offseason when the logjam that was coming in the outfield became more apparent, the Red Sox continued to tout Yoenis Cespedes as an elite talent and someone they wanted to work with in the offseason, knowing full well that he had little chance to be in the Opening Day lineup. Of course, he was traded to the Tigers in an offseason deal which showed us how much smoke the front office is blowing at any particular time.
