Alex Cora wasn’t the one who last offseason failed to trade from the Red Sox’s surplus of young outfielders.
The one who blew the pursuit of Alex Bregman in free agency. The one who then pivoted to run prevention.
Craig Breslow did all that, writes @Ken_Rosenthal.
Jaylen Brown on Jayson Tatum:
“First, I want to commend JT for… being like I want to come back. Him even wanting to come back is an unselfish act, putting potentially his body on the line in order for us to accomplish something great. We both are on the same page; we had a good talk today about what we want. We talked about just the mindset that we both want to come back and add to winning. We have a great understanding of what it means to win. We’ve won for a long time. We know how to find success. We’re on the same page.”
