Somebody on the Sports Hub

Hi Sam

Hi Craig Matt McCarthy with the sports

sub

Sam as you just said that this was a baseball decision and maybe this of. Hi, Sam. Hi, Craig. Matt McCarthy with the sports sub.

Sam, as you just said that this was a baseball decision, and maybe this is a better question for you, given you've been here a little bit longer than Craig.

But over the course of the last five years, you've traded an undeniable first ballot

Hall of Fame or Mookie Betts and now a player who might be building his own Hall of Fame

resume and Raphael Devers. So I guess simply put, you know, why does the organization keep doing this?

And what are the organizational factors that have created an environment where the Boston Red Sox are,

I guess, repeatedly trading away Hall of Fame talent. Thank you.

Yeah, thanks, Matt.

Understand the question.

Each and every player decision is its own individual decision.

And as I said, at the outset, it's really, really hard when we either can't line up with our own players who become free agents or we don't line up on extensions, obviously very different circumstances.
