Former Red Sox pitcher Matt Dermody addresses release from team in new interview with Tomi Lahren

Former Red Sox pitcher Matt Dermody was released from the team in June after one spot start, shortly after an old tweet surfaced in which he wrote that “homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

“They will go to hell,” Dermody tweeted in 2021. “This is not my opinion, but the #Truth. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9. May we all examine our hearts, ask Jesus to forgive us and repent of all our sins. I love you all in Christ Jesus!”

According to Dermody, who made an appearance on a YouTube livestream with OutKick on Thursday, the Red Sox knew about his tweet before the season.
