Theo Epstein addressed the media Monday afternoon for yet another postmortem press conference that took place far too soon after the close of the regular season. Maybe it’s a good thing this one wasn’t broadcast live as those in the past have been, since it meant beat writers with access to the Zoom meeting could provide a filter for the public. Not that most people hadn’t already predicted the content of the proceedings with a strong degree of accuracy.
Epstein noted that there would be no exit interviews this week as is typically the case, but that the club wanted all players and staff to spend some time decompressing and processing the season.
