Red Sox scrap Town Hall event during Winter Weekend

A year after the Red Sox’ team leadership was soundly booed at a Town Hall address on the first night of the franchise’s annual Winter Weekend, the team is scrapping the format and reshuffling its lineup of events.

Instead of the question-and-answer format with the team’s top executives and coaching staff, the Red Sox instead will hold “The Cinco Ocho Show with Jonathan Papelbon” on Jan. 19 at the MassMutual Center in Springfield.

The event will feature the former Red Sox closer and NESN’s Tom Caron discussing “the upcoming season and the state of the club”, per Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe.
