Red Sox considering bold World Series plan for Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez

A bit of an over statement in the headline. No direct quote from Cora tells me the conversation went something like this:

Reporter - are you considering putting a Mookie at 2b when playing in LA to keep Martinez in the batting order
Cora - we’re considering all our options

Thanks for sharing the news Gary. Appreciate it.

I love all the stuff one can find in a newspaper. Electronic media pales in comparison.

I switched to an online subscription to the Globe a few years ago. I miss having the real paper to read but I don’t miss the heavy recycling bins and the spotty delivery.

I used to have a paper route. 85 homes, ON A BIKE! I used to have to go door to door to collect. Sundays were a PITA. I did it for several years. I had to fold every one too. Winter, I walked it using a toboggan when there was snow. Collecting had some interesting moments....

I heard the interview in the radio. He sAid Mookie would spend some time working out at second. I can only see him using him there after some weird pinch hit situation.

Hopefully he won’t be at 2nd when Machado decides to be a ‘loveable villain” again.

So we both worked at newspapers.
