Red Sox fans are quite frustrated with the recent trade of star player Rafael Devers, with some even taking their anger towards individuals associated with the team.
According to reports, the situation caught the attention of Newton police, especially after team manager Craig Breslow had a home address posted online.
The police noted that representatives from the Red Sox informed them about some members of the organization facing doxxing on social media linked to recent trades.
However, the Newton Police Department stated they have not launched any investigations into online threats.
This incident follows Boston’s decision to trade Devers to San Francisco, shortly after they swept the Yankees over the weekend. Devers spoke to the media on Tuesday, expressing a desire to move on from his time in Boston, emphasizing that it’s “in the past” and he’s looking forward.
“I really don’t want to talk about it,” he stated.
The Red Sox maintained that both parties hit an “inflection point” that necessitated the trade. After signing free agent Alex Bregman, Devers was asked to shift from third base to designated hitter, which he initially resisted.
Ultimately, he adjusted to the role but later declined a move to first base when requested by Breslow.
Breslow, in a press conference, made it clear that this season isn’t about conceding defeat.
“I acknowledge it on paper. We’re not fielding the same lineup as before,” he remarked. “This is about winning games on the field as best as we can. I think by the end of the season, there’s a good chance we’ll look back on more wins than we expected.”
In their first match following the trade, the Red Sox secured a 2-0 victory against the Mariners.
