A GM's view of calling players up quickly
Alex Cora mentioned immediately after Tuesday night's demoralizing 10-inning loss to the Angels that all the Red Sox could do to start fix their problems is show up Wednesday.
The Red Sox did show up and by 11:30 a.m. the narrative had changed ... in a most unexpected way.
As the teams were starting their pregame workout routine, a group of Red Sox could be seen gravitating over toward the third base line in front of the Angels' dugout. At the scene, heated words were being exchanged before, after about five minutes, both groups went their separate ways.
The incident, according to sources, started when Monday night's Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson began shouting his displeasure toward Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores. Anderson's issue was in regard to the Angels' belief the Sox were stealing signs.
After the initial back-and-forth, Angels pitching coach Barry Enright approached Flores that led to another confrontation.
