Will the Red Sox spend the Devers $? Curtis is concerned! Any big bats coming to Beantown? Winter Meeting are over, Alonso and Schwarbs went elsewhere, but can the Red Sox still spend big on offense?
00:00Instead of listening to me tell you what Red Sox management told you, here was Sam Kennedy at the end of the season, and he was asked about spending the Devers money.
00:14Breslow went first, but God was that dull.
00:15So here's Sam Kennedy jumping in halfway through.
00:17I would just add that what was rewarding to see this year was these two guys, again, to my right, acting with urgency, starting with our trip to Dallas and then all the way through.
00:32You know, we didn't get there where we wanted to go.
00:35We all know that, but we acted with urgency and certainty and aggression, and we plan to continue to do that as we go forward.
00:47So we'll see where that takes us when we get to Orlando or wherever the heck we're going.
00:53So the entire presser related to extreme urgency and aggression.
01:01And I sit here today, like Sam Kennedy is from Brookline.
01:07He's born and raised in Boston.
01:09John Henry is a, you know, he's a venture capitalist, soybean farmer, predictor that made billions of dollars.
01:18Carpetbagger.
01:20I just like, at what point does doing this for a living make you feel like crap?
01:25Like, you know, the scene in the town where one of the guys that works for Jon Hamm in the FBI office grew up in Boston, grew up around the people that he was putting into jail.
01:36And he was like, my father was good to you.
01:38My family was good to you.
01:40And this is how you spend in your life.
01:41And it's like, you know, there are other things Sam Kennedy could do than to be the mouthpiece of somebody that's not being straight with the fans.
01:49What you want to do with your life, being the guy that's the happy face for someone that's tearing down the team that you grew up loving.
01:55I don't know.
01:56Like, it's just so unseemly.
01:58Everything about this organization is unseemly.
02:00Every Saturday morning when the Red Sox are at home, Ken and I are in center field at Fenway Park.
02:05And every time I walk into Fenway Park when it's empty, I feel like the luckiest man in the world.
02:10That is a place that I love.
02:13Oh, my God.
02:14I still remember walking in there the day the World Series started in 2004.
02:18My dumb sister was getting tapas on Beacon Street.
02:21I run in there, get to see the team introduced before game one of the World Series.
02:24It's one of the greatest moments of my life.
02:26And now I see the place full with these people that are getting tours of it at like 75 bucks a pop.
02:32And all that money is going to fund other teams and other cities.
02:37And all the love and support that this city has for this team is being not only taken for granted, but manipulated and used against the very people that they're supposed to be building a team for.
