Transcript

00:00let's begin with uh a guy who is instrumental in building the uh the red sox championship teams or

00:05being part of those teams that'd be pedro martinez he had comments for one david ortiz

00:10following this whole rafael devers situation we can hear from pedro just a reminder on what

00:18ortiz had said uh essentially had said that uh he had reached out to rafi a bunch of times

00:25and he didn't respond to him he needed to get better at communication uh anything else i'm

00:32no that was about it about what about what he said big papi also made a mistake in the spring training

00:38by speaking in front of the cameras about some of the things that he needed to tell devers and just

00:44like i said before that should have been handled in-house big papi should have gone out with with

00:51devers to talk about those things not really openly speak in uh in the field because the cameras are

00:59able to pick up everything we say everything every whisper that would that we have out there is being

01:05picked up by the microphone so that was the first mistake from big papi the other thing is i don't

01:10like to hear those comments after things happen like that i would love for big papi to come over

01:17grab devers go to a restaurant go to his house throw a barbecue and talk to devers in his house

01:24wow man my boy pedro hey mitch tweet out that pedro said ortiz was wrong

01:33wow how about that one there that he was he shouldn't have went public and you know criticized

01:41devers you go to a barbecue i want to get invited to that barbecue and i'm sorry guys

01:47pedro is on a different platform than david ortiz it's like pedro is the best athlete i've ever

01:53seen better than brady at his best there's nobody in he in the dominican pedro martinez is the number

02:00one guy that all great players look up to some were questioning you on that earlier uh way you

02:05described that red sox wise he said yeah he's alpha he's the i mean pedro martinez is on his own

02:11he's his own mount rushmore to himself he is david ortiz is a designated hitter pedro martinez is the

02:17greatest pitcher i've ever seen goaded it's not even close well um i do you feel like he's right

02:25yes uh yeah he probably big poppy probably should have took him aside and and maybe and should have

02:31he should not have said anything at spring training at all yeah i guess i think that's part of the

02:36problem is that he works for the team and he's being paid by the team and so he started things

02:41off uh as somebody else who was commenting on rafael devers publicly uh along with whether it was alex

02:49cora or craig breslow or whatever right but it's big poppy though and if you're devers you got to show

02:53that man is respecting you got to talk to him
