Curtis, when did it become that all problems surrounding this Red Sox team were settled with barbecues?

I mean, it seems like a new thing of late.

Well, chicken and beer got him in trouble before.

I guess I always, I just imagine that Pedro and David Ortiz were besties.

And then here you go.

The man is calling him out and putting some of the blame, I guess, on the Devers situation on David Ortiz, the way he handled things in spring training.

Yeah, I think that obviously they're probably still really good friends.

I think Pedro is just saying, hey, here's what you should have did, Big

Poppy, you know, and Big Poppy might... Or Pedro knows that Ortiz has compromised and he's calling

him out for being a pawn in the game to discredit Devers. I mean... He's compromised in what way?

That he's doing the organization's bidding. Yeah, but Pedro's also, like, deeply enrooted in the

organization as well.

But he's always been his own person.

You can never get Pedro to say anything other than how he himself feels.

Right, but he's never crapped on the organization or...

Well, when he was here, when he went to the Mets, he certainly did.

He was not happy about Likino.

Well, he wasn't happy about how they treated him. I'm saying after in his retirement, it's always been, you know, when you listen to him, what's he on Fox?

MLB he does?

When you listen to him, he's always, you know, he's a Red Sox life.

But you can't deny the point that Curtis is making, which is that David Ortiz is on the payroll.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
