You're listening to WEEI Afternoons with Hart, Fancy, and Johnson.

Yeah, I mean, look, Rafi is one of the best left-handed hitters, if not the best left-handed hitter

in the league and just has been elite and we need him to continue to perform at the highest

possible level.

Good to see him taking ground balls and we know that, we know that when the time is right, you know,

if we need him, he'll be there.

But, yeah, we're focused on winning games and keep him raking in that lineup, and we should

be just okay.

That's president of the old Red Sox Sam Kennedy, just from last week, talking about his

excitement over Raphael Devers' commitment to the Red Sox Sam Kennedy just from last week talking about his excitement

over Rafael Devers' commitment to the Red Sox and his want to take some ground balls and

be available to the team, to which I ask you, Mego, a question I asked Chris Cotillo, who said

that money talks in most of these situations. Do you believe the Red Sox now have a credibility problem,

given that I don't know if you can believe anything that comes from anyone's mouth,

whether it's Craig Breslow, the aforementioned Sam Kennedy,

and in some cases, like when he lied to my choppers over Garrett Crochet going out for a

complete game when they knew they were going to

limit them to 85 pitches.

Again, I'm sure you can buy your way into trust, but at the same time, aren't you just a little

like a little bit concerned people are going to be like, no, this team traded Devers and

they traded Moogie and they traded sale and they make terrible deals and they lie to your face.

And so, no, I'm not going to trust them.
