Despite getting benched by Alex Cora last week after failing to hustle on a force out in Cleveland, Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is taking the punishment in stride.
Speaking to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo on Tuesday night, Verdugo acknowledged that he still has a strong relationship with Cora, who has often pushed the 27-year-old outfielder during their three years together.
“I don’t give a [expletive] about what anybody says — the media, fans. Nobody knows what’s in-house,” Verdugo told Cotillo. “Me and him are cool. Our families are cool, our kids love each other.
