The Red Sox PR Making All The Players Wish Gordon Hayward A Healthy Recovery Is So Weird And Perfectly Red Sox

I don’t think moves get more Red Sox front office than this one right here. Last night, in the middle of the World Series, I noticed a lot of the Sox players started tweeting well wishes to Gordon Hayward whilst wearing Gordon Hayward jerseys that were surely fresh out of the box. Fishy, I thought. Verrrrry fishy. As other Instagrams and tweets started to flood the internet it became very clear that this is something the players were ordered to do and had the jerseys shipped to them by Red Sox PR.

That is so PERFECTLY Red Sox ownership/management that I almost can’t wrap my head around it. Try and do something nice, I guess, and look like you really belong to the community but just have it come off as outrageously contrived and fake. Come on, guys. Did the entire team really need to post this at the same time? Couldn’t have just let guys naturally do it on their own, if they felt like it? Did it have to be a week late because you didn’t feel like paying the extra cash for overnight shipping and getting them the jerseys in a timely manner? It all just reeks of bullshit and begging Boston to accept the players as part of the community (note: I don’t blame the players at all, as this was clearly an order). How about you just let the guys be themselves instead of trying to turn them into an army of John Henry’s robots? They’re young, cool dudes so just let them have their own personality instead of some nonsense you read in a PR book.

PS – David Price didn’t do it. BAD TEAMMATE! GET HIM OUT OF TOWN!! HE CLEARLY HATES BOSTON BECAUSE HE DIDN’T PARTICIPATE IN SOME LAME PR CAMPAIGN!!!!!!!!
