Report: Red Sox met with pitcher Matt Dermody about homophobic tweet

Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said he personally spoke with pitcher Matt Dermody about a since-deleted homophobic tweet, according to MassLive’s Sean McAdam.

Dermody posted the tweet in June of 2021, during Pride Month. According to McAdam it reads:

“#PrideMonth. Homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. They will go to hell. 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!
