FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Red Sox made their first round of roster moves on Sunday, sending 11 players out of big league camp and over to the Minor League side.
There were no surprises, just young players returning to the camp where they can continue their development and progressions. It's part of the learning process for them.
It's also part of the learning process for first-year manager Alex Cora, who had to deliver the unwanted messages to the prospects for the first time in his career. It's never an easy task, even for a veteran manager, but especially for a rookie.
