Red Sox President Sam Kennedy announced on Monday that the team has accepted an invitation to visit the White House. The date of the visit has not been set.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora commented on the Boston decision.
"I’m gonna use my platform the right way. I’m not gonna embarrass anybody," Cora said. "Actually, I'm gonna represent 4 million people from back home the right way when we go there."
Cora criticized President Trump in September after Trump commented on the death toll in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
