The
Red Sox designated Blake Swihart for assignment on Tuesday and Lou Merloni reacted to the move at the beginning of OMF that afternoon.

April 16, 2019 Yes, because Alex didn't trust him. How many games do you think Sandy would win if he caught for the 2015 team? https://t.co/NRvv63i6c2

April 16, 2019 “Is anybody really that worked up about it?,” Ordway asked him.
“I don’t like it,” Merloni said. “I’m not losing sleep over it … Alex Cora doesn’t trust Blake Swihart behind the plate. He doesn’t know who he is, he doesn’t know who he is defensively, he doesn’t know who he is offensively and when he looks at his roster he sees everybody with a role. He knows what to expect from everybody except that kid and because of it he made the move. He wasn’t comfortable.”
