The playlist that usually blares out across the Red Sox’ spring-training complex during workouts usually reflects the eclectic taste of Boston’s diverse clubhouse.
But a live mariachi band? Well, that’s a new one.
Monday’s musical surprise at Fort Myers was a planned exercise by Red Sox outfielders Alex Verdugo and Jarren Duran, who introduced the band in the team’s clubhouse as part of a team-building exercise ahead of the World Baseball Classic.
As part of Monday’s pre-workout event, both Verdugo and Duran — who will represent Mexico during the WBC — were scheduled to give a presentation on the country.
