There seems to be no love lost between Alex Verdugo and the Red Sox.
Granted, the 27-year-old outfielder is now predisposed to dislike Boston — considering that he’ll don pinstripes during the upcoming 2024 season.
But after the Red Sox opted to trade Verdugo to the Yankees earlier this month, the outspoken Verdugo was candid about his move down to the Bronx, as well as the current state of his former team.
“The genuine reaction was, you know, mad. I was hot,” Verdugo said of getting traded during his first Zoom call with New York reporters on Thursday.
