COMMENTARY
On Tuesday, Sam Kennedy did what we (and he) are all too often stuck doing these days: Listening to a CEO speak. Talking to the Herald before the optimism of Wednesday night gave way to Xander Bogaerts, San Diego Padre, he made clear the Red Sox understood the stakes.
Ownership had met with Bogaerts this offseason. They were “very involved” in the negotiations to keep him in the only professional franchise he’d ever known.
“He knows exactly where we stand,” Kennedy said.
So do we, Sam. So do we.
On the wrong side.
